Look no further for your personal/event Chef! My experience with Cut-Different was amazing. He was able do deliver a truly high quality meal experience to about 12 of my guests. All while maintaining a really fun, yet professional, fine dining atmosphere. I will absolutely be hiring this chef again when the occasion arises. Thanks again for your amazing work!!

My best friend was turning 50 and my boyfriend and I wanted to give him a unique (food experience) gift. We immediately thought of a personal chef and during our search, stumbled upon Chef Ryan. From our first interactions of discussing courses, menu options, and solidifying dates, From the start, Ryan was beyond professional and accommodating. When he arrived at our home for our event, he was very personable and eager to get started. He went right to work and the smells permeating through our home from our kitchen were magical. While cooking, we had been greeted with a signature cocktail which was a strawberry vanilla margarita - absolutely refreshing and delicious. We then began our culinary experience with a cocktail hour featuring meatball sliders, tuna crudo, and bruschetta. Ryan took the time to give a quick overview of each the prepared goodies and soon after, engulfed our faces with the meticulously (and delicious) prepared food. We then went onto our second course, traditional cacio e pepe which was light and flavorful. Our final course included both filet and braised short rib. The presentation that we were given was something you would see in a 5-star restaurant. The passion, and effort, and attention to detail was stellar. His assistant, Julia was such a pleasure and such a helping hand to Ryan and worked perfectly in the kitchen. The icing on the cake was that both Ryan and Julia had cleaned our kitchen (cleaner than when they first walked in), put pots and pans away and even cleaned our stove top. I was completely blown away from this experience and needless to say, Ryan will be referred to all of our friends and family as this is an experience they should all have and so should you.

We stayed in Martha's Vineyard for a week and opted to hire a personal chef to prepare dinner for six. After reaching out to several chefs on Thumbtack, Ryan stood out as the most responsive, friendly, and easy to collaborate with. As someone who was new to using the app, I was initially apprehensive, but Ryan's honesty and professionalism quickly put me at ease. On the day of our dinner, the quality of the food exceeded our expectations, surpassing even that of a five-star restaurant. I will definitely be reaching out to Ryan again when we return to the Vineyard. Thank you, Ryan, for an exceptional dining experience. A+++ rating all around - hands down the best food we've ever had.

Chef Ryan exceeded our expectations for my mom’s 60th/ NYE private dinner! He was responsive the entire process, came early to prep and overall was a pleasure to be around. Not to mention his food was out of this world. 10/10 would call Chef Ryan for any event we have moving forward and recommend him to everyone!
