Introduction
My name is Chef T. L. Hooker and I have been in the restaurant and hospitality industry for 26 years. My experience is wide ranging, originally being from El Paso TX, my heart and soul is Mexican cuisine, but my favorite type of food to make has to be French and my style reflects that. I like taking influences from Asian cuisine and utilizing the techniques to create compelling, deep and flavorful taste profiles. My time in Homer Alaska and Montauk NY taught me the fine art of seafood and the amazing flavors they produce. I was mentored by highly talented integrity driven chefs, most recently at The Tower Club with Michelin Star Chef Brandon Galitz, Dallas Country Club, Lakewood Country Club, Toro Toro Latin Steakhouse in Fort Worth and Mot Hai Ba in Lakewood where I fine tuned my skills that has now brought me here to Cedar Cove Ranch, where I am grateful and fully humbled working with my clients to provide memorable meals and relationships that transcend food.

Chef Hooker was 10/10! Incredible food all made from scratch. He brought everything needed down to the utensils and cleaned everything before he left. Chef is professional and personable. We enjoyed our conversation and had a many good laughs! He is one of the rare finds that will travel. We live out in the middle of absolutely nowhere, and he made the trek out to provide a wonderful evening for our anniversary. Thank you for making the night so special for us! Can't wait to have you back out!

What can you possibly give to your son and new daughter-in-law for Christmas when they live in another state and have everything?? Answer: A personalized chef!! The problem was finding one who personalized in their diet needs, which was affordable and catered to the customers needs. T.L. was a Godsend!! He made this easy, and was very responsive and patient in my purchase. If his chef services are as professional and excellent as his initial contact was with me, then I can’t wait to hear how the dinner turns out. Thank you T.L.

Details: Date night • 2 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • French • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

What an amazing way to bring in the New Year! T.L. Brought everything to prepare us the most amazing dinner. Once we booked, we were able to select multiple appetizers and main courses for ourselves and our guests. He explained each dish we were eating and provided all silverware/plating. He was prompt, the food was amazing and left the kitchen clean. Thanks so much for the great evening!!!
