I hired Jerry for a private dinner at our Airbnb in Brevard, NC, and it was one of the best parts of our trip. I had family flying in from up north, so we wanted to treat them to a real southern meal, and he delivered in every way. The food was incredible from start to finish — Bayou Shrimp N Grits with a blue corn cake to start, roasted chicken with parmesan risotto and succotash for the entree, and a white chocolate walnut bread pudding with bourbon caramel to finish. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. Beyond the food, he was genuinely fun to have in our space. Great conversation, great energy, and he made the whole evening feel special rather than just a meal. He cooked, cleaned, washed all the dishes, and left the kitchen spotless before heading out. Highly recommend if you want a stress-free, memorable dinner for a group. We'd book him again in a heartbeat.

Jerry arrived an about 10 minutes before he said, which was perfect. He was well prepared and very engaging with our group. Jerry talked us through the meal prep and even let us try a few things. We had great conversation with him. Our group couldn’t have been more impressed with Jerry’s professionalism and the food tasted wonderful. This was our first experience with a personal chef and we absolutely enjoyed every minute of it.
