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).

Chef Wes and Lluvia were absolutely amazing! I wish I was a better writer to describe everything…read moremore than "amazing" and "the most delicious thing I've ever eaten" but I don't. Instead I will tell you to just go ahead and boom Chef Wes. We booked him for my dad's birthday. He called to help with the menu because everything on his website sounds divine. And I said that. While we originally picked like 8+ items from each course, we ended up with 3 appetizers, soup, salad, surf n turf, and dessert. It was too much food but there is not a single item I wouldn't order again. We had coconut shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, and tuna cups for appetizers. I don't even like shrimp that much but omg he may have converted me. Or ruined me because no shrimp will ever come close to tasting that good. The second course was cuban black bean soup and wow! I could've finished with these 4 things and still given a raving review. We weren't planning on soup because it was so hot but I'm so glad we did! Make sure to get the cuban black bean soup. Then we had Watermelon salad that was the perfect amount of fresh fruit over mixed greens and a balsamic dressing. Yum! Our entree was surf and turf. Since we didn't catch anything fishing, Chef Wes picked up fresh Mahi Mahi and topped it with a delicious salsa. The filet was cooked to buttery perfection. The green beans were so garlicky and crunchy and delicious. We had potatoes that we thought would be a nice addition but we're actually seasoned amazingly and was one of the best surprises of the entree. Then when many of us were stuffed to the brim because it was all so good and we couldn't stop eating, we had the Mangoes morada. Fresh Mangoes over ice cream topped with cinnamon sugar almonds and a grand Marnier and chocolate drizzle. The cherry on top of a perfect evening. Chef and Lluvia were just so friendly. We really enjoyed their conversation during our m3al. They timed courses well. We had a few breaks to rest between the later courses and a bit longer before dessert. Lluvia left our rental spotless. She was just so great. I cannot say anything better about our experience for the night. Make sure to book Chef Wes for any meal while you are in the keys. He is worth every penny. Thank you for such a great experience!

Our appetizer was called lobster in the reef-lobster in tempura on a bed of seaweed salad. Yum! The salad was nicely done filled with nuts, cheese and pears. Sides were mushroom risotto and asparagus with the most superb yellowtail fish with a mango salsa and banana topping. So unique and the flavors were robust. We had to take a slight break before diving into the lava cake finale. Good thing we have days left to rest after this wonderful food coma. Thank you to Chef Wes and Jenn.

Amber Antonelli honed her skills in the best California kitchens, served as a concierge chef to the stars and even created her own Häagen-Dazs flavor: Toasted Coconut Sesame Brittle. Her boutique catering company and culinary academy, The Naked Bite, is designed around making plants the central theme of the meal by using original recipes and accessible techniques. Amber and Co. are available for events, group or private classes and any session is customizable and can include humanely raised meat while retaining its focus on healthy lifestyle choices and organic ingredients. Popular 4-course menus include Seasonal South Florida, Sunday Brunch or Thai Food Demystified.

Miami was definitely missing an Amber Antonelli (the wonderful chef)!! If you're looking to escape your every day life in a home that has the best energy, relaxing ambiance, and AMAZING fresh food, definitely try out one of her classes. I swear I don't even feel like I'm in Miami when I am at her house (where the classes are held). From the moment you walk in through the door, you are greeted as if you have been friends forever. Amber definitely has the personality to teach these classes - she makes you feel comfortable, very personable, and she's EXTREMELY knowledgeable about everything she makes and all the ingredients she uses. She will take the time to explain why she is using a specific ingredient and will list the health benefits (i.e. coconut oil). Everyone is given the menu for the evening along with the recipes to every dish & the upcoming class schedule. You are also provided a pen to write down any notes and/or tips that will help you out when making the dish on your own. With around 10 people per class, the conversation flows very well & you learn so much from your new friends! Some of my favorite classes are the "Healthy Mexicana Flair, Ole!" and both "Thai Food Demystified" and "Thai 2" but she has classes that fit any palette: Italian, Vegan & Gluten Free, Kids Classes, Weeknight Meals, Vitamix Classes, the list goes on!! I would highly recommend The Naked Bite to both beginners (those who don't know how to cook at all) and experienced chefs. This is usually the range of people that surround the table at the classes & it's definitely nice to see both extremes learning so much from Amber. If you're not interested in the cooking classes but are in need of a "stay-cation", she has an underground dinner club where everything about the dinner is kept a secret until the day before! If that's not your thing and you just want to eat healthy, amazing food, look into her catering! Whatever you choose, I promise that any experience at The Naked Bite will be an unforgettable one. Definitely five stars!

SUSHI ANYONE ? We…read moreget invited to a 50th birthday party on a yacht to stroll up and down the Fort Lauderdale intracoastal waterways with a surprise. As we board the yacht we met Victor Romero who was wearing sushi chef attire and introduced himself as the Sushi Chef for the evening. When I saw the giant wooden sushi boats I knew this would be a treat, and boy was I right. Victor was below deck preparing a feast of extravagantly decorated sushi arrangements. Of course I had to grab a video of this unexpected feast in progress. About two hours into the cruise he brought out four massive boats loaded with vibrantly strategically positioned fresh sushi. Some of the guests including me were hardcore sushi fanatics so the first boat was devoured quickly. It was like a piranha eating frenzy, all I saw were chopsticks shoveling sushi into waiting salivating mouths. Victor proved himself as a top chef in the sushi world. On time, professional, competative pricing and provided a fresh sushi presentation. We definitely recommend Victor for sushi catering.

He was with our party for four full hours preparing several boats of sushi and side plates of sashimi. He brought out boat after boat of sushi to our party. The colors of the fresh sushi were so bright and had that professional artistic quality. Im not a big fish eater but I gobbled up many pieces dipped into wasabi and soy sauce. Victor provided extra entertainment during our party and even had left overs - lol.
