Introduction
Welcome. I'm Alex. I’m passionate about co-creating a luxurious fine dining experience with you so that we can make a special occasion memorable for years to come! Anniversaries, birthdays, business meetings, and special occasions are guaranteed to be elegant, effortless and enjoyable. You'll spend precious time with the most important people in your life, and I'll take care of the menu creation, shopping, cooking and all cleaning. I graduated from the Pittsburgh Le Cordon Bleu school of culinary arts and have nearly 20 years of culinary experience ranging from trendy casual to fine dining. I like chatting on the phone with people whether your booking an event or not so let's talk! Cheers! PLEASE NOTE: FOR DINNERS THAT HAVE 3 OR LESS PEOPLE I CHARGE A $375.00 MINIMUM JUST FOR THE SERVICE. GROCERIES ARE BILLED SEPARATELY. (simply because each dinner takes 3 days in total for me to execute. 1st day is for shopping, 2nd day is for prep, and the 3rd day is the actual dinner.) Thank you for your understanding in this regard. 🙏

Our experience with Chef Alex was more than we could have hoped for. From the first communication, he was always responsive and he arrived right now time. We had some friends with food allergies and aversions and he was able to work around those limitations and provide other options. The food and presentation were amazing! Highly recommend - We will definitely hire Chef Alex again!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • French • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Hiring Chef Alex was like inviting a friend who just happens to cook amazing food. From the moment he walked in, he set such an easy-going, relaxed vibe—it was like he read our minds about wanting a fun, laid-back night with great food (and no kitchen disasters). He was super approachable and happy to answer all our questions, even the ones I thought might be “Chef 101.” Not only did he let us watch him cook, but he talked us through each step, dropping little tips and fun facts that made us feel like we were in our own private cooking show. He even managed to crack a few jokes while perfectly chopping veggies—skills I never knew existed. The food was incredible, the vibe was just right, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a chef who’s talented, easy to talk to, and can make any evening special, Chef Alex is your person!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • Dessert • I'm flexible • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Southern • French • I'm flexible • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

What an incredible experience. I hired Chef Alex for my mom Dad and Uncle to experience a wonderful night for all the amazing things that they do for me. I could not be more happy how this experience went. Chef was extremely communicative throughout the process. When he did come over he was so polite respectful and easy to speak with. And the food was absolutely incredible this was a 10 out of 10 experience!

Thank you Lori! Your folks were so kind and generous letting me cook up a storm in their beautiful kitchen. By the way their kitchen is a chef's dream with that amount of counter space. I was in heaven!
