Chef Tater nailed it with this dinner! The salmon, asparagus, rice pilaf, and tiramisu were spot on. Rice pilaf is usually an afterthought, but not here! It was seriously the best I’ve ever had. We were nervous to hire a chef for a special occasion but Chef Tater made the experience easy and accessible. The whole meal was top-notch, definitely worth five stars!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • Dessert • I'm flexible • Dessert • Cold beverages (non-alcoholic) • Italian • French • Mexican / Latin American • American - formal • American - casual • I'm flexible • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I cannot say enough great things about chef tater. Not only about the quality of his food, but about the whole experience in general. He was easy to get ahold of, his food tasted amazing, and he handled a 9 girl bachelorette party with ease. If you’re questioning hiring him, don’t. You will be extremely happy with everything about the experience.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • Barbecue • Southern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Tater's reply

Amber and all your friends, Thank you for making me feel like family, I enjoyed our conversations and laughs for sure. I might need a Chef Tater tiara so we can both wear one. LOL Chef Tater
