Introduction: I am a 47 year veteran of the restaurant industry. I have worked as a chef, owned my own restaurant, and served more recently as a district manager for a local restaurant group. Over the last 5 years I have slowly transitioned away from restaurant management back to my roots in the culinary world. We are well versed in all cuisines and knowledgeable of current dietary trends (Keto, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free, etc.). Our specialty is multi course plated dinners for parties of 6 or more. We also offer weekly meal prep service for singles, couples and families. Meal prep makes your weekly routine much less of a burden and frees up more high-quality personal and/or family time. We take great pride in the quality of the food and service we provide. We are businesslike, professional, mature, and reliable!

Chef Jeff was absolutely amazing!! Beyond satisfied with his service. I was planning a last minute surprise bday dinner for my friend and chef Jeff came to the rescue. He was very responsive, flexible, and accommodating to each guests special requests. The food was delicious and we had a fantastic dinner service .

Having Chef Jeff prepare an extravagant and delicious 4-course meal on Boxing Day was the highlight of our Christmas Holiday. I eat at all the nicest restaurants in Dallas for work regularly and I prefer this experience without a doubt. Do yourself and your guests a favor and call Chef Jeff!

Crestone Culinary was nothing short of exceptional. The Italian dinner for my wife’s 60th birthday was superb, the service was great, and they cleaned up everything before heading out. Will definitely use Jeff and his wife again for a big celebration!
