AMAZING EXPERIENCE! We hired Chef Trent for my wife’s 40th birthday and New Year’s Eve party, and he absolutely nailed it. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. The food? Incredible. Every dish was expertly crafted, beautifully presented, and, most importantly, delicious. Guests were raving about it all night. What really set Trent apart was his personality. He was personable, laid-back, and just an all-around cool person to have around. He made the whole evening feel effortless and fun, which is exactly what we wanted. And the best part? He left my kitchen spotless. It was like he was never even there—except for the amazing memories he created. If you’re on the fence about hiring a private chef, go for it. Trent Smith is a 10/10, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thank you for making such an important evening truly unforgettable!

I recently had the pleasure of booking Chef Trent for a surprise Christmas dinner for my husband, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. We kicked off the meal with crab-stuffed mushrooms that were perfectly seasoned—rich, savory, and packed with delicious crab. The blackened Cajun burgers were a major hit; each bite was bursting with bold, smoky flavor and just the right amount of spice. And the bourbon bread pudding—wow. It was the perfect sweet finish, warm and decadent with a blast of bourbon that added just the right touch of indulgence. Everything was even better than we hoped it would be! Chef Trent was the highlight of the evening. Not only did he craft an incredible meal, but he was also fun, engaging, and incredibly professional. His passion for food was evident, and he made the whole experience feel special. My husband was beyond thrilled with the surprise, and I’m already planning our next event with Chef Trent. Highly recommend—he truly made this Christmas dinner one to remember!
