Introduction
Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your chef. I appreciate fresh, farm to table food, served in a visually enticing manner with a touch of white linen. I pride myself in knowing the providence of the food I serve my guests. Because I firmly believe that you are what your food eats, and it's so important to know where your food is grown, raised or sourced from. My intake procedure focuses on your desired tastes as well as any food sensitivities and all allergies that need to be considered as well. My specialties are locally sourced farm-to-table produce, sustainable meats and seafood and featuring Oregon cheese tasting flights expertly paired with the finest Oregon wines and tasty garnishes. Some of my creations and outstanding reviews from my past patrons are available here on my Thumbtack profile. So, from carnivore to keto, gluten free and vegan ( or all the above! ), I can cook the meals YOU truly want. Feel free to reach out to me for a sample menu or if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you. Blessings, Chef David -

Very pleasant demeanor and unobtrusive presence while cooking up a feast. Farm to table dishes executed with the freshest ingredients and attention to details. Chef David did all the planning, food sourcing, cooking, presentation, and cleaning, allowing us and our guests to relax and enjoy a very memorable birthday celebration. Thank you chef David!

Chef David was a delight to have in our home. For our anniversary, I decided to surprise my wife and hire a chef to come cook for us. My wife is something of a foodie, but since she's been gluten-free for a few years now, she's missed out on her favorite Italian dishes. Well, David and I talked about what we could serve her. I asked for ideas, he gave me some, and together we settled on the menu. I'll be honest: I was a little nervous about that menu because it wasn't the same kind of thing we always have, but I decided to trust David's expertise. I'm _so_ glad I did! His skill combined with the high-quality ingredients he chose came together in what was easily the best meal my wife and I can remember. If you're looking for a chef (as I can only assume you are if you're reading this), I highly, highly recommend Chef David Erickson. You'll be doing yourself a favor.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • French • Barbecue • Indian • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Chef David prepared a spectacular dinner to celebrate a milestone birthday and Thanksgiving. My spouse is a CIA trained chef who worked at a Michelin starred restaurant in NYC and was very impressed with Chef David’s culinary talent. I highly recommend him for your catering needs.

I was searching for a personal chef to come cook dinner for my friend’s 40th birthday, and was really nervous about trusting someone to hire. Chef David was super responsive, easy to talk to, and very passionate about his cooking that he made this process so easy. He was willing to cook whatever we wanted and helped create a menu that would be perfect for us. He showed up on time and brought everything he needed to get started. Our dinner party of 8 was so excited for this experience and it couldn’t have gone any better. The food was SO delicious and made with fresh ingredients. He was professional and knowledgable - and he cleaned up super quick after our last meal. I’ll attach photos of our menu, and photos of the delicious food he cooked for us. Thank you, Chef David for making our first experience a great one!
