Working with Chef Jay has been a game-changer. His food is consistently five-star. He always exceeds our expectations. He has cooked for us on several special occasions. For my birthday, he prepared an unforgettable in-home brunch. The spread was absolutely delicious and made the day feel extra special. The same was true for our Father's Day dinner; it was top-notch, with every dish perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Our weekly routine with his meal prep service has been a lifesaver. We always have a variety of tasty, healthy options ready to go, and it takes so much stress out of our busy lives. If you're looking for a personal chef who is reliable, incredibly talented, and cool to work with, look no further. You won't be disappointed!

Chef Jamie was fantastic. He was very responsive throughout the entire booking process, and he was friendly and extremely capable on the day of my event. The food was great and the vibes were exactly what we were looking for. He provided lunch and dinner for an event of ~25 people, and everyone gave rave reviews. I even had multiple people coming up to me asking for his contact info for future events of their own!

Chef Jamie gave us an incredible private dinner experience for a bachelorette party dinner for my sister! I was beyond impressed with the level of service that he provided and the food he served us was absolutely amazing. I was so busy enjoying the food and the experience that I didn’t even think about taking any photos, but I can assure you everything was beautiful, delicious, and planned so well. I would definitely recommend hiring Chef Jamie for any of your cooking needs! Treat yo self!
