Overall, Perfect! I picked Chef Lemar first off due to his great reviews and additional he responded quickly vs other companies. Communication between us we easy and productive. He was able to provide a menu for a four course meal. I made one adjustment for a chocolate dessert but everything else sounded amazing! He and his wife were on time, setup and started to cook. By time we all sat down, it was time to eat. The food, every dish was not only beautifully plated but was so good I wanted to lick the plate clean. All 8 guest agree as all you heard was Mmmmmmm. Some people even took pictures of there plates! My wife who this was for (birthday) was completely unaware but so amazed by this and we will have Chef back in the future!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Southern • Indian • Barbecue • French • Asian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Mexican / Latin American • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Amazing evening with chef Lemar! I planned a 9-person family birthday dinner for my brother's 25th birthday, so we had a mix of younger people and grandparents-which also meant a mixture of foodies and some less adventurous eaters- and Lemar delivered the perfect meal! He and I worked on the menu together- I gave him an idea of what we'd like, and he came back with several suggestions that could work for each course. The menu turned out perfectly and everything flowed together nicely. He made the most delicious cheesecake with strawberries and chocolate graham crackers, and the birthday boy was very happy! I highly recommend having Lemar come cook, and one of the best things is coming into the kitchen and seeing everything clean and packed away- such a treat! I had such a great experience with Chef Lemar that i would love to purchase one of his packages for a certain number of dinners per year (those are on his website). Thank you Lemar!!

Private dinner for two. We worked with Lemar to define the menu, he taught us how to cook certain aspects of the dinner while keeping us topped up with cocktails. Already planning our next dinner!

We had a group of 8 whom have never had an experience quite like Chef Lemar. From the welcom cocktail to the smoked tiramisu and 4 courses in between. Chef and his wife really took care of us. I am very impressed with the details, he explained seasonings, sauces, and his inspirations. I stole the show within my friend group with this experience. Thank you again Chef!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Nothing complicated. Cost of ingredients+cost of my time(reasonable)+ cost of any necessary equipment+ tax= your price. Any gratuity is optional.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I frequent food blogs daily, i subscribe to various food magazines, and at night watch cooking shows...so i'd say my time is well spent keeping relevant.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    At an early age food became my calling. I took all of my mother's cookbooks and cooked through them. Working in a professional kitchen, one often times looses that personal interaction and customer appreciation for YOUR food. So i do this to get closer to my craft and the people who enjoy it!
