Introduction

I am a 47 year veteran of the restaurant industry. I have worked as a chef, owned my own restaurant, and served more recently as a district manager for a local restaurant group. Over the last 5 years I have slowly transitioned away from restaurant management back to my roots in the culinary world. We are well versed in all cuisines and knowledgeable of current dietary trends (Keto, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free, etc.). Our specialty is multi course plated dinners for parties of 6 or more. We also offer weekly meal prep service for singles, couples and families. Meal prep makes your weekly routine much less of a burden and frees up more high-quality personal and/or family time. We take great pride in the quality of the food and service we provide. We are businesslike, professional, mature, and reliable!

This was the first time we had a private chef and we’re glad it was with Jeff. Our event was a private dinner for 2 and it was perfect. Jeff was very accommodating with our course selections, he was punctual, and he was a true professional in our home. He came prepared, he was focused yet pleasant, and had a genuine desire to create the experience we wanted both with his food creations, which were superb, and an intimate, quiet environment. Thank you, Jeff, for making that evening so special for us. We’ll definitely call on Jeff again and highly recommend him for any event you have.

Chef Jeffrey went above and beyond to make my husband’s birthday special! He was very quick to respond and helped personalize the menu to exactly what we would love. The food was beyond words, I highly recommend the Italian menu. This was the best private chef experience I’ve ever had and will definitely be working with Jeffrey for events to come!

He was great with working with me and creating an arrangement of a food menu prior to me making a decision. He was punctual and worked with me on my budget, despite him being in high demand. I highly recommend.
