Chef Josh gave us an awesome experience. He was very responsive and created a menu based on our dietary needs. We wished for a seafood-based meal and he delivered with sweet potato crab cakes and pan seared halibut that all of our guests loved. All of his ingredients were fresh and delicious. We had a truly memorable experience with him and would certainly recommend him to others.

Chef Josh came to our home to cook a 3 course meal for a 6 person Girl’s Weekend I was hosting. He was very responsive during the planning phase, was on time and most importantly, everything he made was so delicious. Very friendly and easy to work with. We would work with Chef Josh again!

We hired Chef Josh for our small wedding dinner (8 guests), and he was fantastic. He worked with us to refine the menu for our appetizers and steak dinner, handled a last-minute guest change with ease, and the food was incredible. Everything was beautifully prepared, and he even packed up the leftovers for us. Highly recommend!|
