First I would like to thank chef Maurice and this company for their time and efforts into my birthday dinner. This was my first time having a personal chef and they walked me through this whole process. Very kind and patient from beginning to end. They worked within my budget as well as giving me suggestions to help me create a perfect menu for my birthday. Chef Maurice was super kind and helpful as well. His food was delicious all of my guest asked for his information after because of how good the food was. I recommend everyone booking with this company. And please purchase the red velvet cake you won’t regret it!

Maurice is of the best! My biggest concern was that I wouldn't have enough food, and he provided more than enough. A party of 11 was able to get seconds and take homes with extras, and there was still food left over. My mom raved about the sandwiches and salad I took home, and this is a great accomplishment since my mom hates all food that isn't her own. My friends couldn't stop talking about the sandwiches and the inclusivity when it came to diets. My event was a luxury birthday picnic, and the food that Maurice provided can definitely be labeled as luxury, but at a reasonable price. Maurice was kind, responsive to my bazillion questions, resourceful, and punctual. I would definitely book him again for the next milestone in my life. You'd be a fool not to book him.
