About

I love just being in the kitchen, and i love being able to create something that when people eat it, it removes them from everything else around for just a second. I love how food can make you forget about your anxieties and stress going on in your life

Justin is new young chef on the scene who was on time, well prepared, engaging and wore his professional chef's attire. This was a gift to my boyfriend to prepare and teach us how to cook a dinner with a whole fish. Justin brought all the ingredients, including two very fresh red snapper. He taught us and prepared lobster cakes, avocado salad, taught us how to filet fresh fish, and together we prepared excellent fish tacos. For dessert he brought home made chocolate mousse with fresh berries. Another couple joined us, which made the event even more special. My boyfriend was thrilled with this fun-filled and educational gift and evening. We are already planning and looking forward to our next event with Justin!

We tried this site and Justin was the first to respond. Texted him about wanting to do a dinner around our favorite wines from Frank Family. Talked to Justin in the morning and he already had some research on Frank Family wines and had some thoughts on what to serve. He was spot on with our likes and we are very excited to try him out. Justin explained clearly how the service will work and what to expect. I will write another review after the dinner to let all know our final thoughts.
