I have never had a personal chef come to the house before but it was a wonderful experience! Jason came and cooked dinner after my wedding and it was a such a great experience! All the food that he prepared and cooked was delicious! He also was very responsive when planning and was accommodating because of some picky eaters. Overall the meal was delicious and everyone loved all the food especially the appetizers were a big hit! (arancini balls and his pork and chive gyoza)

I recently had the pleasure of working with Chef Jason, and I couldn’t be more impressed. He was incredibly accommodating and professional, ensuring that my friends with food allergies had safe and delicious options. Our plans changed and he was so responsive and helpful. The food was not only delectable but also arrived right on time and was reasonably priced. I highly recommend Chef Jason for any event or gathering—his attention to detail and quality are truly exceptional.

Honestly, I can't say enough great things about Jason! We hired him to come to our Lahontan Truckee Cabin for my husband's 40th birthday and we were blown away! He cooked for all 14 of us a 4 course meal and the main course was steak. I got to pick all of the courses ahead of time and he was extremely open to a variety of options for all my guests. He got there an hour and a half early looking very professional and kind, prepped everything in the kitchen while we hung out and had drinks, then served us our apps on the patio. We have some big eaters in or group, so I was a little worried they might be hungry after, but we were stuffed, and some of us had leftovers even. The steak was cooked perfectly and the dessert was divine! We will absolutely be using Jason again for our next event, and I KNOW my guests will be using him as well. THANK YOU JASON for making my husband's 40th birthday unforgettable.

Highly recommend Chef Jason!! I am so glad we found him for our bachelorette/bridal shower event. Our dinner was such a wonderful, tasty, and fun dining experience. The food was phenomenal, plating was beautiful, and Chef was so tentative and paced the courses so well. We also appreciate that he sourced ingredients locally and even put us on to some amazing coffee. Chef Jason provided us with such an elevated experience and didn't even have to worry about clean up. We look forward to the next time we have a dinner party in Tahoe!
