I hired Chef Kennon for a sushi making class for my wife and I as an early Valentines Day gift. From the first contact with Chef Kennon I knew it was going to be a memorable time for us. He showed such patience and passion for the art of cooking. His love for food and the time he took to make sure we learned the skill was an utterly amazing experience. We were shown traditional and non traditional techniques that will be used by me and my wife often! Thank you for your time and down to earth personality that made us feel at home!!!!!

Thumbtackers: DON'T EVEN CONSIDER BOOKING SOMEONE ELSE IF CHEF ROB IS AVAILABLE! Chef Rob, I can't say enough about the meal you prepared for my birthday weekend! The food was amazing and it was great getting to see you in action! I am still thinking about that pancetta salad, crispy snapper, tender short rib and life changing apple and pear dessert.... So yummy! Can't wait for another reason to have you prepare a meal for us! Thanks again!

Chef Kennon is an awesome chef. His knowledge & research of cooking is very broad. He can create beautiful great tasting dishes. He took my plain diabetic food & turned it into a very tasteful meal I can look forward to & still retained all the diabetic rules. I would recommend him highly.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are set on what I know my skills are worth. If you want the best, you pay for the best. If you think my cost is too high, just say it’s out of your price range. There is nothing wrong with having a budget.

Communication, transparency, answer every question, giving them “final cut” on the menu, making this process as easy as it could be. I love cooking, and if you love food... this shouldn’t be hard.

California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, ServeSafe Certification, Registered Food Service Manager, meat fabrication, hunting & foraging, charcuterie
