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)

What an amazing experience! Chef Jason Pepin is hands down one of the best Chefs we have had the pleasure of working with. His personal touches, custom creations, and impressive Chef skill just puts him in a class of his own. He took into account for personal tastes, food allergies, and special requests making this an unforgettable dinner. Every single dish, and course was absolutely mind blowing. He is very professional, easy to talk to, and just a great overall person. The layers of flavors, and creative plating was so impressive. No restaurant could come close. This man cooks! I have every intention of booking Chef Jason Pepin again soon! Don’t think twice to book Chef Jason!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Nut allergies • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

Chef Jason was absolutely a legend. He’s very personable and his food is amazing. He came to Truckee to cook and serve our Bachelor party and he was nothing short of excellent. Would recommend him to anyone in need of a personal chef for any occasion. Thanks Chef!
