Wonderful team. They literally “catered” to our needs of having a vegetarian meal and it was delicious. They did this without hesitation despite it being a last minute request. They were very responsive and communicated with clarity. They fit it all and at a great value. We will definitely do it again.

My family and I were in Kyle, Texas for the holidays. We came from NY And Tennessee to meet my daughter and family. I thought about finding a chef that would come to the air bnb we were staying in to cook our Christmas dinner, selfishly so I wouldn’t miss a present being opened or a moment of our time together. Chef Derek and Nikki were more than I could have hoped for, they took over the kitchen like the professionals they are. We ate at a dinner table together, we were served the most delicious dinner, and they catered to my 3 grandchildren and their palates beautifully! Presentation was fabulous, food was delicious, and they were instantly people I wanted to have as friends. I cannot say enough about this holiday experience and the memories made. It was priceless. From prep to clean up the experience was sheer joy and and a bundle of deliciousness! I’ll never forget their kindness to us all! We wish you a new year filled with happiness and joy! Which you provided to us in one evening! Diamond, Brayton and Kabbah families❤️

Details: Holiday meal (Mother's day, Valentine's day, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Dessert • American - formal • Nut allergies • I'm flexible • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Derek and his wife Nikki were AMAZING! I needed a personal chef within a few days for a dinner I was hosting and they got back to be on here very quickly, providing a proposed menu and price per person. I really appreciated that I could get everything scheduled via this app and texting versus calling. They arrived at my home to cook a dinner for 4 and were friendly and professional! All of the food was fantastic and it was so lovely to have dinner made and everything cleaned. I would definitely hire them again. They made a shrimp appetizer, flirt mignon entree which was cooked perfectly, and a strawberry shortcake dessert.
