    I've dined at two of Bobs events. One was hosted at a friend's house for an 8 people and the later…read morewas for 12 people at Bobs gorgeous executive kitchen. Both events were absolutely amazing. I've been to plenty of similar events, as well as a lot of high-end chefs tasting menus in the area, and this is definitely on of Charlestons best.

    Our second time here. After the first time, we recommended coming here to s number of people and…read morethe ones who then came were so very glad to have had the experience here. What do you have is Chef Bob Waggoner who has been a recognized chef for 30+ years. An affable, friendly, humorous teacher of skills and cooking, who will answer your questions quickly and effectively. The food "we" prepared, obviously with a lot of help from Chef Bob, was delicious beyond belief. Bob of course chooses the menu and buys all of the ingredients for each one of the appetizers, of the main course, and the dessert. As you smell what you are cooking, it comes alive to your nose and to your other senses. After that you sit down and eat your appetizer and then go back to fix your main course and then of course the dessert later. I wish that my photos would give some idea of the tastiness of our meal. It is so difficult to explain the taste of a meal that you have created, although Chef Bob was quickly back and forth to each of the 6 stoves being used by 12 strangers, who by the end of the evening (2 1/2 hours!) were not strangers any longer.

    Private Chef Charleston provided the food and bar for our niece's engagement party last weekend and…read morethey were amazing! Our niece and her fiance are pescatarian, so Private Chef Charleston designed a delicious menu to delight them as well as our guests: beautiful shrimp, deviled eggs, seared tuna, pasta salad, grilled asparagus, delectable cheeses, brownie bites, key lime tarts, hot crab dip, and more. They offered a top-shelf full bar, but also set up dispensers of iced tea and Pimm's Cups, which were so refreshing for a summer party. They arrived at 3 pm to set up and my husband and I actually got to relax, get dressed, and enjoy the party! The cleanup was just as amazing--they packaged all the leftovers in our refrigerator and washed and dried every single platter, dish, and utensil. We are still receiving rave reviews from our guests and we can't wait to work with them again! We give Private Chef Charleston our highest recommendation!

    JLOKitchens came through big time for us last week during our vacation at Kiawah, with two dinners…read moredelightful in every way. We have a couple of foodies in our crowd, and no one was disappointed! Two completely different menus were both delicious; and cooked to perfection with wonderfully complex flavors complementing but not overwhelming the high quality, fresh ingredients. As if that wasn't enough, Jessica is not only a talented cook, but also totally organized, making the preparation, delivery, and clean up look effortless. Highly recommended!! We had two under-sixes in the group as well, and dinner with JLOKitchens was so much more fun than hauling them out to a restaurant. Treat yourself! You'll be glad you did!

    I hired JLoKitchens for my best friend's bachelorette party. Everything was great until 2 days…read morebefore the event. 8 of us drove down from Atlanta. This was going to be my special gift to my best friend because she loves yoga and cooking. It was perfect. I made tank tops for all the bachelorettes to wear during yoga with cute yoga sayings on them. I went out of my way to get tables for the cooking class and everything. Two days before the event JLoKitchens confirmed that we would start at 930AM and then out of no where she cancelled the entire thing on me - yes, two days before the event. She stated she had been sick since Sunday but yet, didn't tell me then and therefore left me with no time to make plans. This was going to be the highlight of our weekend - she ruined it. She had told me that she was cooking, but a woman Tarah would be the yoga instructor. I said, I expect Tarah will still be there and that she can bring the food with her (and we'll just have to cook for ourselves). She wouldn't explain to me why Tarah was also suddenly available. As a professional, responsible business owner she should have had a back-up plan in place especially if she wasn't feeling well earlier in the week. Also, she never explained what happened to Tarah which leads me to believe she just dropped the ball and didn't book this despite us having been in communication for several months. She said sorry and refunded my deposit promptly but didn't fix the mess she created. It's not even about the money - I'm heartbroken that I won't be able to give my best friend this special gift and that we have such a bad experience associated with this weekend. If you're going to work with JLoKitchens you better have a back up plan.
