We hired Chef Cal to create a private-chef experience for a big family trip to Miami. From the…read moremoment I connected with him on the phone to his team's prompt arrival at our Airbnb the night of the party, we were blown away. In addition to being a true master of his craft (the food was better than most fine dining experiences), Chef Cal is an ambassador of Southern Hospitality (the service was attentive, warm, and personable). This past Friday night will go down as one of the most memorable nights of all time within our family. Thank you for that, Chef Cal! We are already looking forward to next time, and if you're in the market for a private chef in South Florida, look no further (and thank yourself later).

We were over the moon by the tastes and smells of the food. He left us with tons of left overs and a kitchen cleaner then before he came. I would give him a 20 on a scale of 1-10. He was utterly amazing!!! His price point was perfect. I recommend chef if you are in town and would like a private chef. It's such a treat.

My husband does not eat leftovers... but he will eat Chef Paul's leftovers. That alone says everything. We've used him for everything: meal prep, travel chef services, private dinners, you name it. The meal prepping especially blows my mind. How can reheated food taste this fresh, this vibrant, and this thoughtfully prepared? I don't know, but Chef Paul clearly knows the secret. I've hired him multiple times for intimate gatherings with friends, and every single person leaves completely wowed, not just by the food, but by him. He's knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely fascinating to talk to. Some of my favorite moments are just sitting and chatting with him while he works his magic in the kitchen. If I could, I would recommend Chef Paul to the entire world. His food--and he himself--are experiences everyone deserves to know.

Presentation and concise introductions of each passing, mocktail, appetizer, entree and dessert immaculate. Taste and creativity only wished to be duplicated but clearly Chef Paul originated. The seasoning was perfectly balanced; I loved how the flavors worked together. If you desire more than dinner if you are looking for an experience and a vibe let Chef Paul "take you thru dere". The flavorful aromas of Chef Paul's creations were an amazing sample of what my palette was about to experience. Once the evening concluded it was the tidiness of the entire dining space, the authentic and intentional placement of the fresh cut florals in the "lab" aka kitchen. Chef Paul is indeed a Chef de Cuisine/Executive Chef who is surgical in his craft and has seamlessly woven art into a meal which will leave you and your guest craving more. I was full halfway through, but I could not stop eating.

Truly a feast for the eyes! I may have missed a few things and will let the pictures tell the rest of the story. Would be remiss to not mention the dessert items, including fresh, seasonal fruit, and a poundcake, which was exceptionally fitting as pound cakes were my friend made the best poundcake ever!
