We hired Chef Dave and Sugarloaf Culinary for a week over Labor day weekend in 2019. We found him through a google search and his website, and having no referrals, were taking a risk that Chef Dave was as nice and competent in person as he seemed on the phone when we first spoke.
Patient, and understanding Chef Dave worked with us to create menus for our ever changing sized group - from dinners for 11 (half adults and half kids, and seemingly all with food allergies and aversions), to breakfasts and lunch buffets for up to 20.
Dave put on a masterful display of food, creative menus, and impeccable execution.
However where Chef Dave shined beyond description was in the small details he brought to the family kitchen of our rental home in Boulder: He supplied printed menus for the week which all the kids memorized, he brought additional cooking utensils and supplies when those supplied in the rental fell short, he warmed up or remade breakfasts for those of us who slept in or came back late from a morning activity, and he kept an impeccably clean kitchen.
If you are considering using Chef Dave for your family vacation, don't hesitate, as we look forward to using him when we return to the Denver / Boulder area over the coming years. read more
