About

Hello! I'm Chef Daniel, an eclectic Colombian-American chef with professional training from Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena. I've worked with top chefs at the Border Grill, Roy Choi, Gordon Ramsey and Michelin starred Summit House in Orange County. With this experience, I can prepare almost anything from my flavorful carne asada to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free dishes. I am also a catering liaison for Firefly, Tacos & Beer and Graze Kitchen (a Plant Powered vegan venture) along with my partner Chef Dennis Hicks of Exclusive Chefs as one of their catering chefs. Cooking has always been a part of my life. I love preparing flavorful food and teaching others how to cook. I make sure my samples are easy to duplicate when I teach, and I enjoy helping others start and continue living a healthy lifestyle. I make sure my clients are satisfied with the food and service (and pay a reasonable rate) so we're all happy.

We had Chef Daniel do the cooking for our Holiday Party this year, and to say I was impressed is an understatement. Not only did he plan the menu and execute it, but he also had a bartender with him to help pour wine and serve beer so my employees could enjoy their selves. A lot of stress is put on the host of these parties and Daniel made me feel at ease and comfortable with handing over the food responsibilities to him. The food turned out amazing, and everyone enjoyed the evening and the full bellies. Thank you again, and I can't wait to work with you on future events for our office.

I hired him to be our private chef for my sister bachelorette weekend, and he did not disappoint! Every meal was OUTSTANDING. He made sure we were all feed and happy but he bartended pool side. All 8 of us were so elated with everything, he has now become an essential member of the bridal party!!! We already miss his cooking so much!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Price per head (this is standard for caterers). I give discounts with more people, and continuing owners get more food for less.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Getting a feel for what they want people to remember, their affordability, wishes, go over menus and options as well as payments and deposits (and "how else I can be of service.")
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I partake in food festivals and graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena after an intense 18 month program with food festival & restaurant staging as well as various kitchens like Border Grill, Roy Choi's "Pot" in Koreatown, "The Summit House" in Fullerton & alumni events.
