Introduction
*****Please be advised, I would love to cook for you, However, thumbtack does not have the ability to set minimums. Please do not solicit a bid from me for smaller groups. My minimum is $1000 during the week (sun-wednesday) and $1500 (thurs-sat). Thanks for understanding. By all means, if you are close, don't hesitate, I may be available. That being said, 6-10 people is mostly fine. Just not for $50. If there are nine of you, in the $100 range, especially during the week, it might work. I have been a chef for 29 years, 25 of which were in fine dining establishments, including my own for 15 years. Since closing my restaurants, I have been working as a private chef for small to medium events in peoples homes. I have also passed the first 2 levels of the sommelier exam, and am well suited to pair with your collection, including any of your special bottles. People have been inviting me into their homes for 5 years now, and work every weekend from October thru April. I usually book about 6-8 weeks in advance. ****Included in my fees are all tabletop needs (plates, glasses, silverware, linens) and generally come 100% self contained. (I even bring my own pots, pans, cleaning gear, garbage bags, etc) Depending on size, guest count, course count, etc, up to about 20ish people. I do not have tables and chairs.**** *******I frequently work in Airbnb's and can manage my way around most kitchens at this point.***********

Chef Josh is the BEST. This was the first time I ever used a private chef or Thumbtack. He created the perfect atmosphere and food for my daughter's immediate family only wedding. I interviewed other chefs and their menus were not up to par or their prices were otrageous and felt like they were "nickle and diming" me for everything, but not with Chef Josh. I never take pictures of my food, but I had to in this case. (I tried to upload photos, but upload failed for some reason). It not only looked beautiful, but it tasted phenomenal. We're still talking about it. Even my husband who normally complains said that was the best salmon he's ever had. The onion soup, well, I can't say enough about it. It wasn't all chese. The bread in the soup was crispy, not soggy. Fresh onions that you could taste and just enough cheese. Perfection. The salmon was cooked exactly the way I liked it. Others had stead and they raved about it. And look at this dessert!!! I watched him put it together onsite on the plates. Josh was personable, friendly, and courteous. We had two servers and they were professional and responsive. Chef Josh and crew left the place as neat as it had been before he arrived. If I could have him cook meals for me even once a week, I'd be in heaven.

We highly recommend Chef Joshua! I confirmed him to cook dinner for our 15-person multigenerational family on the final night of our Thanksgiving vacation in Scottsdale. From the very start of planning, Joshua had great suggestions for our menu and worked with me to refine it based on our group’s tastes and preferences. Everything was delicious - Caesar salads perfectly dressed, beef tenderloin with a bordelaise sauce cooked expertly, salmon with a dill aioli, roasted potatoes, local carrots and asparagus, and a pasta with peas and sausage that was a favorite for everyone. He made a simple tasty mac & cheese to please the kids too. And we finished it off with giant cookies and fun toppings. It was such an ideal close to our trip and my only regret is that it was our last night so we couldn’t hold onto any leftovers to enjoy the next day. (Chef Joshua knew it was our last night too and portioned everything really well.) On top of dinner being delicious, Joshua was great to work with, prompt and right on time, and also laid-back and a bringer of good vibes. I hope travels bring us back to Scottsdale again so we can enjoy another Chef Joshua meal.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Italian • Southern • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Barbecue • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Joshua and his team were excellent! From our first communication, his professionalism and experience were clear and we knew we could entrust him with our wedding dinner. Every dish and wine pairing were outstanding, and attention to service was second to none! I would highly recommend and will be reaching out again for any future events!!

Chef Joshua cooked an INCREDIBLE meal for 8 of us, as our final meal in Sedona. He was super easy to work with, added extra touches like a delicious margarita mix (and mock tails!) and additional appetizers. He set the table for us, was incredibly personable and so friendly, cooked amazing dishes and served us with his own plates, dishes and utensils. The whole experience was so special - and affordable overall. Would absolutely recommend chef Joshua for any of your occasions!
