About
I have been a full time private chef since October 2014 was rated the “Best Personal Chef” in Houston by yelp up until 2021 when I signed on a full time contract with Liverking’s Media Company. From there I have worked as a personal chef and Food stylist for Athletes, actors, Senators, and first ladies. I have also cooked for and have appeared on netflix because of my cooking. I have a lot of experience with all types of food but my food tends to be more French and Italian inspired while using local ingredients. My dinners are 4 course meals, 5 courses, or 7 course tasting menu if you are a party of true foodies. I can also do some extravagant over the top family style meals that will capture the attention of your guests and whoever you show on social media. I bring the ingredients, equipment, help setup, serve, break down, and clean at your house. All you have to worry about is enjoying your guests.

Awesome job! Chef Lionel and his assistant arrived to my home promptly. They brought fresh ingredients and prepared an amazing meal. I asked them to prepare Cajun food which weren't the standard food items, but the meal was amazing and I was pleased. I would recommend them to anyone.

Chef Lionel and his server did an outstanding job as a private chef for my wife birthday dinner. We normally entertain with one of us doing the cooking and this time we wanted to enjoy time with our guest so we hired a personal Chef. I was prepared for him to have prepped all the food in his own kitchen and just reheat for us, but was pleasantly surprised when he did all the work from scratch right in front of us using local ingredients. He is very personable and professional and we and our guest love the show, the conversation about the local food and the meal was 5 Star restaurant quality. They served, bus and left the kitchen spot less after it was all over. If you have never done anything like this, I would highly recommend you do and also use Chef Lionel. The price would have been about the same as taking all our guest to a very nice restaurant.

It was our first time with a personal chef and it was a great experience. He even left us with some of his cooking tools! (On accident, but If you want them back we may have to trade for chocolate mousse!!)
