If I could have selected all 5 areas I would have. Chef D'Andre and his entire team were very professional and the value of their service was unmatched. At the beginning of the working relationship there were a couple of bumps along the way as there are with any large event, but it was a pleasure working with the Chef and his team. The event I facilitated was for the University of Chicago with a headcount of roughly 325 guests. The event was amazing. The food was delicious and I overheard many guests complimenting the Chef on the spread. I will say there was never a moment when I did not see one of the Chef's staff members on the move whether that was serving food, replenishing food trays for guests, serving drinks or cleaning up. It was a pleasure working with this team and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

I live in California and wanted to do something special for my parents who live in Chicago. I decided a private chef in their home would be a chance to create a special memory. Chef D’Andre did not disappoint! From first contact he was very friendly and easy to communicate with. I had no issues coordinating the dinner on short notice from a distance. The meal itself was definitely special! My parents thoroughly enjoyed the meal. They also enjoyed having Chef D’Andre prepare the meal in front of them. My mother said Chef D’Andre was very kind and entertaining. I am very happy with this service, and appreciative that Chef D’Andre was able to create the special evening I had envisioned.

I am beyond pleased with my experience. Our initial communication started this experience with high expectations and Chef D’Andre delivered. He was thoughtful with balancing ideas along with my requests. He was flexible as well which allowed me to cater to each guests meal constraints, yet the meals weee cohesive. In fact this is why I utilized the chef for TWO DAYS. He catered a drop off dinner for me and my 2 friends and then we had the pleasure of his onsite cooking experience for Sunday brunch Dinner was amazing and the food temps were perfect on arrival. We plated ourselves, of course, but it tasted like restaurant service. Our lamb chops and mushroom risotto, Brussels sprouts and more were just wonderful. Now Morning brunch was vibe. Chef was prompt, engaging but not intrusive, the food was delicious and displayed nicely and my kitchen was cleaned well. The shrimp and grits ..no words just WOW. I’m thrilled that I picked this chef for my mini girls getaway to celebrate my friend’s upcoming wedding. We had a blast and there was more than enough left over so we could snack later in the day. Thank you chef D and for your wonderful assistant Travon. Our experience was top notch. Service, quality, taste, presentation, cleanliness….5 stars.
