I was looking for a chef to come to my cousin’s bachelorette party and Chef Tony’s reviews sold me so I’m here to add to that sale. If you want to book a chef, as far as I’m concerned, Chef Tony is the only person to book. First and foremost, we were a party of all women, in a rented house. Immediately, Chef Tony was a welcome addition to our crew. Inviting a man into that environment can be intimidating… Chef Tony is professional, personable, entertaining, knowledgeable and DAMN GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. We all instantly felt comfortable with his presence, and when we came down for dinner - we were greeted by intoxicating smells coming from the kitchen, followed by a beautiful table scape. My only regret with Chef Tony is that I didn’t take photos because I couldn’t wait to try the courses, and that I can’t hire him to be my personal chef for every single meal, every single day. If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, personable chef to welcome into your event - I really mean it when I say it’s Chef Tony or nothing.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Gluten free or celiac • Dairy intolerant • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Tony was invited by the office staff at an apartment community in Pike Creek for a Resident Wine Tasting Event. He explained flavors and food pairing for each red/white wine he presented so that it was understandable to the residents. The enjoyed his humor and expertise about wines & the region they came from as well as his various experiences at wine events all over the world. It was enlightening, fun and a nice mix-n-mingle with appetizers, desserts and wine for the residents. Also, we had beer tasting as well as a sidekick participation.....LOL. I suggest anyone to contact Chef Tony and have this event for your residents (21 yrs & older)!

Details: Food and wine pairing lessons • 31 - 40 guests • California • Wine recommendations • Food and wine pairings

I hired chef Lawrence to prepare a 70th birthday for my father in law. He did an amazing job and the food was delicious!! He is a very personable person! Also, after he was done you would have never known he was even here! The kitchen was cleaner than when he came! I’ve had multiple guests reach out to me for his number!
