Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Chef Kev for my sisters bachelorette party in Martha's Vineyard. Most people would not make the ferry trip, but Kevin was very willing to. His food was delicious, and he fulfilled all my requests for our dinner. He had everything prepared in a tiny kitchen and cleaned everything up as well. One last note- I don't even like cheesecake, and Chef Kevs cheesecake was one of the best deserts I've ever had!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Nut allergies • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Kev D was a pleasure to work with!! He was incredibly responsive when I was initially looking for a personal chef for my event and remained in contact about the menu throughout the planning process. He easily accommodated increasing the number of guests a few days before the event without issue. On the day of the event he arrived right on time, was incredibly efficient and most importantly, cooked us a truly delicious meal!! Everyone was raving about it for weeks. I would definitely hire him again and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personal chef!!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • American - casual • Italian • Southern • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I can't say enough about Chef Kev. Far and above anything we expected. In the middle of this pandemic I wanted to celebrate my wife's birthday at home in a special way. I tried a few other Chefs that didn't work out. Coming down to the last day I tried my luck with Chef Kev. He responded within an hour. We were able to put together the project in less then 2hrs. The menu fit the vision perfectly, food was amazing, plating immaculate and service all the way kick ass. If you want a Personal/ Private Chef that's going to take fine dining to an engaging delicious experience then Chef Kev is who you need. Know that he's a Chef first who loves his craft with a totally fun personality and a gift in hospitality. You're looking for an Executive Chef for your event? Stop here. The only thing I was upset with is why didn't I make him my first choice!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • French • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • Southern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
