We have had the pleasure of enjoying exquisite dinners prepared and presented by Personal Chef…read moreYoann Taboyan (chef@yoanntaboyan.com) twice for milestone occasions. Each time, Chef Yoann delighted us and all our guests with an exceptional meal that has become a favorite memory. Chef arrived hours before serving, with specialized equipment and fresh, high-quaiity ingredients. He carefully crafted each dish and we thoroughly enjoyed the complexity and fine taste of his top-notch French cooking. He paced the courses perfectly, explained each dish beautifully,, cleaned the kitchen when he was done --in short, he cared about every aspect of our experience. His policies and costs were fair and clearly stated upfront, with no hidden charges. Complimentary extras included custom menu cards at each place setting, fresh-from-the-oven homemade baguettes, and a referral, if requested, to a sommelier for wine pairings. It's extraordinary to celebrate like this in the comfort and privacy of your own home. We wholeheartedly recommend Chef Yoann and plan to have him at our house again.

It was genuinely such a pleasure to work with the Flavor Chef Catering team for our wedding earlier…read morethis year. Throughout the process, we communicated primarily with Madison, who was always kind, thoughtful, and professional during our interactions. Based on our research of catering teams in the northern San Diego County area, we were already leaning towards Flavor Chef based on their reasonable prices and menu. The team was able to fit us in at the last minute for a tasting, which is what truly sealed the deal. Everything we tasted was delectable, but more importantly, the team treated us with kindness and respect. Chef Derek explained every detail of the dishes and was incredibly accommodating if we wanted to tweak anything. For example, we had a few vegetarians and vegans attending the wedding, and the team was able to make about 10-15% of the appetizers (pork belly bao buns, bacon-wrapped dates, and poke crisps) suitable for these attendees. We also wanted the citrus flavor of the salmon to be stronger, so the team made a note to add more squeezed Valencia orange and to add more citrus-infused oil on top of the salmon. Our guests also raved about our food on the wedding day. Among the standouts were the bacon-wrapped dates, citrus risotto, and beef short-ribs. Several people went back for seconds. One of our guests wrote in our wedding album, "the food was actually good!" He later told us that he had been to plenty of weddings where the food fell short. He said what stood out about our buffet menu was that the ingredients were simple and locally sourced but expertly crafted and incredibly flavorful. We also had a goal of mango sticky rice as one of our desserts, which a family friend was helping us with. Even though the Flavor Chef team was not directly involved in this dessert, they were willing to cut all the mangoes fresh on site for no extra charge to make sure the mangoes didn't oxidize before dessert time, which we were incredibly grateful for. We also rented dishes and utensils from Flavor Chef at a more competitive rate than was being offered by the venue's recommended rental company. Flavor Chef also included vendor meals for a fraction of the price of the buffet meal, which really helped us with our budget. At every step of our interactions with Flavor Chef, we felt the team went above and beyond to make our day as special and memorable as possible. We would highly recommend Flavor Chef to anybody considering them for their special event. The quality of the food and the kindness of the staff speak for themselves!

We had not anticipated such an amazing experience given it was for a small dinner party (10 ppl) versus a big event like a wedding or retirement party.

Basically, we are all super fans!

Karen and Will are an incredible team: Attentive, professional, warm, and exceptionally talented in the kitchen. From the very beginning, they made the entire process seamless and stress-free, helping with planning, menu customization, and ensuring every detail was thoughtfully handled. They completely took the pressure off hosting my wife's 40th birthday celebration, allowing me to actually enjoy the evening alongside our guests. Most importantly, they made my wife feel incredibly special, celebrated, and pampered throughout the entire experience. The food was beautifully presented, perfectly prepared, and genuinely memorable. Our guests are still talking about it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking them again for future celebrations. Highly, highly recommend!

4.999 stars. Chef Josh made my 40th birthday party memorable and amazing for 22 people at my home…read more We asked a few questions to start and knew he was the right chef for us right away. He doesn't have a set menu, but sources the ingredients the morning of depending on what looks good and what's in season. We had three or four passed appetizers, a salad course, a grouper / risotto course, and a caramel bar for dessert. Everything was so delicious and all of the guests raved. I have no idea how he was able to cook all of that food for that many people in our home kitchen and make it so flavorful. To keep all of the food at a perfect temperature must have been extremely challenging. Chef Josh was such a cool person also, entertaining, always happy, and so respectful of our home. Thanks so much, Josh. We hope to have you help us out again at our next event.

There are no shortage of great things to say about Chef Josh. We've used him twice now for…read moredifferent celebrations and he has knocked it out of the park each time. In fact, after his latest visit we all agreed we needed to start bringing him in quarterly. Chef's cooking style is best described as transformative. He takes ingredients you'd never dream of being the star of the dish and makes it the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. Our last dinner we reqested to be completely vegetarian and he did not disappoint. Even the non-vegetarian at the dinner was blown away and left being the perfect amount of full. My husband avoids certain veggies in our day to day (texture) and the way Chef Josh cooks - well we've never left a plate bare, I can tell you that much. And when Chef Josh isn't looking.. we may have licked our plates clean. Pickling, crisping, pureeing, caramelizing - everything he puts in front of you "WOWs". Besides the food he serves, which is well worth the money, Josh's service is unparalleled. He is prompt, friendly and wonderful to chat with. He brings everything in and does all clean up as if he was never even there. Whether it's a date night, an intimate gathering or a group to impress - I would recommend hiring Chef Josh 110%. If you're even considering a private chef, look no further because there truly is no better!
