My boss gave my wife and me a private dinner with Brian at home as our wedding present…read more Best. Wedding. Present. EVER. Brian arrived promptly at 5:30pm as agreed, and over the ensuing five hours, he whipped up a wicked four course meal while we sat back and enjoyed the show. Blackened shrimp with Creole remoloude...finger lickin' good. Jumbo lump crab cake with spiced Dijon lemon vinaigrette...heavenly. Seared baby lamb chops with mascarpone mashed potatoes and rosemary butter cream sauce...saliva inducing. Dark chocolate molten cake with quad berry sauce and lemon vanilla whipped cream...it's so fluffy I'm gonna die! In addition to his ridiculously tasty food, Brian's personality is electric. Talking to a stranger for five hours in your home would normally be awkward, but not with Brian. He had us rolling on the floor laughing with stories from his crazy life and cooking for A-list actors and athletes. He was also very inclusive of us in his cooking...explaining what he was doing all along the way and asking us to taste this and that at each stage of the meal's preparation. We highly recommend Brian for all your cooking and entertaining needs!

Eating in the garage isn't ideal in December, but figured between our space heater and the fire from hibachi it would be toasty enough for a group of 4th grade boys. We had Mr. Hibachi in the past for my husband's bday. When I looked into options I saw that Tom from Hibachi Bros was highly recommended and also a bit more affordable than Mr. Hibachi. Booked! I went back and forth with Tom via email mostly about if we would have enough space for 17 kids in our 2 car garage. I think he was a little nervous himself, but after the party said he thinks he could have fit 22 people. Good to know for next time! They spent about an hour setting everything up and they bring it all- from tables to chairs to plates/utencils..and of course delicious food. I didn't have to do a thing, but eat some pretty amazing hibachi shrimp and sides. The boys were pretty well entertained thru the 1.5 hour dinner and they kept the food coming. They were very loud, but Tom told me if they are loud it means they are having a lot of fun. So clearly they were having a blast. ;) As for food steak seemed to be the most popular option, but they had a choice of steak, chicken, shrimp or veggies. As soon as they had their last bite of food the chaos broke out so we gave them bday cake and sent them home full and sugared up. It definitely was a pricey meal for a group of kids, but they seemed to really enjoy it and it was one of the easier parties I've thrown. A few days later our garage is still a little smelly so I definitely wouldn't do this inside my house, but I'm sure it will be back to a normal smelling garage soon.

Chef Katie is FANTASTIC! My brother gifted me one of her in-home cooking classes, and we had the…read moremost wonderful night getting to know her, learning new recipes and (of course) eating the delicious meal she curated specifically for our group of four. Starting with our initial email exchange about food preferences, allergies and many, many menu ideas, and extending beyond the class to follow-up restaurant and recipe recommendations, the entire experience with Chef Katie was easy, effortless and fun. Everything felt accessible; communicating with Katie felt like chatting with an old friend, the recipes were as realistic as they were delicious -- meaning, we'll actually make them on a weeknight since they don't take hours to prep/use obscure ingredients -- and there was nothing stuffy or transactional about having a professional chef teach a class in our home. No doubt, Katie is as professional as they come. What's more, though, is she is a genuinely good human and a joy to be around. I couldn't recommend the cooking class experience more, and I look forward to doing it again soon!

My family has been working with Chef Katie for about a year now. I originally reached out after I…read morehad my third baby. My husband and I were in a routine of serving a "kid dinner" (e.g. chicken nuggets) for our kids and ordering takeout for ourselves. I wanted to sit down for family dinners, but I could not figure out how to work full-time, take care of my kids after school/work, and make healthy family dinners. Enter Chef Katie... our routines completely shifted with her weekly meal delivery service. Everything is prepped and ready to go so all I have to do is heat everything up at dinner time. We now sit down for family dinners most nights, and we are all eating MUCH healthier. A year ago my husband was 10 lbs heavier than he has ever been in his life, I was carrying extra weight too (for obvious reasons). I've never cared much about the number on the scale - but I do care about feeling healthy. It is kind of crazy to fast forward to almost a year later. My husband lost those 10 lbs, I am down to my weight before I had ANY kids, and am reaching into my closet for things I haven't worn in years. And I feel like I have more energy now than I have had since before I had kids. I am just amazed by the impact of eating good, quality, healthy food. Thank you Chef Katie!

I learned awhile back that if i was going to have 3 kids + a busy job I needed to outsource as much…read moreas possible. I also learned that I lack serious talent in the kitchen (as my kids will tell you) so I've always been on a hunt for different meal plan services to make my life easier and tastier. About a year ago I hired Girl And The Kitchen. I had a long intro call with Mila to discuss our likes, dislikes and nutrition goals and then she assigned us a chef based on our needs. We had our first chef for about a month and knew right away it wasn't a good fit. Her food was beyond salty and then one week she "forgot" to cook for us....and that was the end of that. And then Mila introduced us to Christine who has been cooking for us for an entire year now. Her food is really good (think 95% of her meals have been hits over the past year), she's lovely to menu plan with and extremely flexible. We do a combo of her recipes and ones I find that I gave her and all is great. We look forward to her food every Monday and literally eat it for every lunch and dinner for the week. My kids usually start complaining around Wednesday that they are sick of the 3ish entrees/sides she made so I'll usually make them pasta or a frozen meal at that point, but it works really well for my husband and I all week long. This is probably the priciest of the meal services/chefs I've used thru the years, but also the most customized. It costs $95/hr for the private cheffing fee and I ask her to limit it to 3 hours - or tell me ahead of time if it's going to be longer than that. From there there's a service fee, grocery shopping fee and then it's the cost of groceries. They are also willing to do your grocery shopping while there, but I find it easier just to instacart all the snacks and other items we need for the week. Christine drops the food off every Monday. I know many clients prefer the chefs to cook in their house, but I personally like the drop off service since I'm working from home and already feel like i have too many people in my house on a daily basis. You can also use them to cook for private parties. We've done that once for Passover and the food was great, although it was much pricier than takeout from local restaurants so I'll likely save for special occasions in the future. A big thank you to Christine (and Mila) for keeping us well fed each week! Highly recommend for others looking to eat good, healthy food who also don't have time to spend in the kitchen!

I had no issue with that as I'm sure it makes people return the containers. We did not care for the food and chose not to try the service again. When I returned the glass containers (admittedly a few months later, but they were returned) I was informed that you have to use their service eight times to get the deposit back. This was the first I heard of it because I would never have agreed. Why would I agreed to use a service for eight times before I even know if I liked it?! Chef Beau said that the policy was explained to me in a "myriad if ways". This is simply not true. He is now refusing to return my $150 deposit even though he has his glass containers back. This is theft of my money as he has his property. It's simple - you charge a deposit for an item, the item gets to return you give back the deposit. Do not use the service!

Once the menu was selected, the Chef handled the food shopping. Our dinner party consisted of 9 people--5 had steak, 2 had chicken and the other two people chose fish.  The Chef also prepared side dishes of a potato stack, mushrooms, asparagus and green beans.  In addition, we requested appetizers--a charcuterie board and an apricot/maple sausage flatbread.  The appetizers were exceptional and everyone enjoyed them.  The dinner preparation was exceptional---sous chef Jasmine and chef Gerard were able to prepare all dinners in a kitchen he had never seen.   Gerard and Jasmine worked effectively as a team and took time to interact with us answering questions about their work. The meal ended with a strawberry shortcake topped with ice cream and was the perfect desert after our meal.  Chef Gerard and Sous Chef Jasmine cleaned the dishes/kitchen before departing. ChefBnbEats helped make the celebration of a 50th wedding anniversary memorable.  From menu selection, through meal preparation to cleaning, ChefBnbEats delivered an excellent value  which will be fondly remembered by everyone enjoying an expertly prepared dinner by Chef Gerard/Sous Chef Jasmine.
