Chef L was awesome to work with! I was planning a special dinner for my boyfriend’s birthday. I started working with Chef L a few months prior. This was my first time hiring a personal chef, but Chef L answered all my questions and planned out an incredible 3 course with dessert menu. My boyfriend and I had the best, most unique date night ever! I would definitely recommend Chef L for any personal chef service!
