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. 🙏

Chef Alex did an outstanding job catering my mom's 80th birthday dinner party. The entire experience was truly exceptional, from the beginning to the end. Chef Alex impressed us with his prompt and attentive communication, swiftly providing us with a range of menu ideas. His professional training was evident in the meticulous preparation of his dishes. For the appetizer, we decided on custom flatbreads, which were absolutely delicious. The two salads he prepared were bursting with flavor, and the braised short ribs with risotto patties were five star restaurant quality . Chef Alex's dedication was evident as he arrived several hours before the party to meticulously prepare everything, and he stayed hours afterwards to ensure the kitchen was spotless. We were astounded by his ability to create such a remarkable feast in such a short amount of time. The quantity and presentation of the food were simply outstanding. Chef Alex's attention to detail extended to his professional attire and the fact that he brought his own platters and tools. Despite working in a simple kitchen provided in my mom's development clubhouse, he seamlessly adapted and produced fantastic dishes. Overall, Chef Alex's catering service exceeded our expectations in every way. His talent, creativity, and friendly demeanor made the whole experience truly memorable.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We had such an incredible dinner for my mom’s 60th with Chef Alex! He was so easy to work with, answered all questions before I even had the chance to ask, was incredibly professional and the food was AMAZING. I never wanted it to end!! He was a pleasure to have in our home for the evening and my kitchen was cleaner than it’s been since I moved in. Looking for a reason to hire him again!!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I had Chef Alex in my home for my wife’s 55th birthday as a surprise. He was OUTSTANDING! He was very responsive, made great suggestions, and then delivered in a perfect evening. I would recommend him to anyone and plan on using him again. Alex is the best!
