❤MY UNTAMED DINING EXPERINCE❤
This is going to be the Culinary Experience of your life. My passion & motivation is to challenge all Michelin, James Beard, San Pellegrino, Grand Relais & Chateaux Restaurants with every dinner that I do. It seems like once you get into that club you can serve anything you want and it will be praised even if its no good... People are in awe of sitting in one of those establishment when in reality you are nothing more than a number or a charge. Forced to eat Disgusting weird food 😂 With the Untamed Chef YOU are the most important people in the world to me for this special dinner. I want to craft you a menu and create an experience that YOU & YOURS will cherish forever or at least until I come back and do it again.
