I have experience working in many Michelin starred restaurants. My focus is modern avant- garde French cuisine. I never cut corners, even when it’s more expensive. Some of my competitors are cheaper, but I will take the time to make sure you're 100% happy.

I recently hired a Chef Russell for an event, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Despite my last-minute request for a modern take on traditional dishes, Chef Russell not only accommodated but went above and beyond. His flexibility in adjusting between 3 menu options was incredible. On the day of the event, he arrived promptly despite having another event earlier that day and flawlessly executed everything. The food was beyond outstanding, and my guests couldn't stop raving about it. A truly remarkable chef who exceeded all expectations!

Details: Holiday party • Dinner • Mediterranean or Middle Eastern • American - formal • Buffet • Yes, full service • Home • Yes, full kitchen • Fewer than 20 guests • Plates, utensils and glasses • Table décor • Serving and warming equipment • Premium (high end ingredients)
