We hired chef Frank for a date night. He arrived on time, came prepared. He explained everything he was doing to us. The food was exceptional and out of this world. It was very fun and educational cooking with chef Frank. We even booked another session.

Frank is amazing!! I can’t recommend him enough. He made a delicious meal for our party of 7 and was so easy to work with. He is very responsive and helped us pick the menu. He made a delicious meal, and was so affordable for the value of the evening. Plus, we really enjoyed chatting with him while he made dinner. We will absolutely book again with Chef Frank!!
