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!

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.

Absoultely amazing. First off, I normally wouldn't give 5 stars for something like this but I had…read moreto give him the extra star because of this DYNAMITE hot sauce he had called Howler Monkey. It had it's own unique taste and it wasn't TOO hot which I liked. The empanada was great. Extremely tasty, well seasoned beef. I hope I run into Chef on the streets again soon so I can buy another! Also, he has several different variations of empanadas. I tried the original beef.

Holy Empanada!!!!!…read more Major Events hired Ched Delano to provide his freshly made empanadas for a 120 person tailgate we were hired to cater. All I can say is....they were a hit!!!

Now that I have your attention- Chef Monique created a fabulous dinner menu for 8 people for my 40th birthday in a San Diego AirBnB! We easily customized a Cali/Italian Fusion menu for dietary preferences (ex: steak vs shrimp, vegan guest) and she made it happen! Everything was served fresh, tasted delicious, each course was lovely, and we've all been dreaming of her dishes since. She was beyond easy to work with, reasonably priced, very friendly, professional, and left the kitchen spotless WITH extra leftovers in the fridge!

Chef Monique was responsive, professional, and creative in customizing a menu to suit all of us and her food was amazing. The biggest hits were the sliders and chicken and waffles but my personal favorite was her Caesar salad dressing which I wish I ordered a gallon of! Chef was open to cooking onsite or doing drop off catering and we went with the latter as we can be a chaotic bunch :) Definitely will work with Chef Monique again!

This was a Once-in-a-Lifetime Culinary Experience!!!…read more Hiring Chef Julia Shelley of French Chef at Home was truly one of the best decisions I've ever made.From the moment she arrived, her energy, professionalism, and attention to detail set the tone for what would become an unforgettable evening. I knew the menu I selected would be challenging, but for Chef Julia it was handled with effortless precision. Every dish was executed flawlessly, presented beautifully, and layered with flavors that genuinely changed the way I interpret food. It wasn't just dinner, it was an experience. Her artistry and skill level are unmatched, and the passion she brings to her craft is evident in every bite. This experience completely elevated my perception of what a private chef can be. If I could have her cook for me every day, I absolutely would. I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity to work with French Chef at Home. Thank you, Chef Julia, for a night we will never forget. Please come back soon.

That day I decided to cruise over since I thought it was open since I saw people over in that area. I didn't realize that there are 2 businesses there. The left side appears to be a little grocery store, I think they also have a food menu too. On the right side was the Filipino Lumpia spot, but it appeared closed. I was so disappointed, then I saw signs/business cards posted that suggest catering only. There were a few other groups pulling up as well while I was there. While I was leaving, the super friendly nice guy opened up the window and asked me if I needed help! I asked him, are you closed?? He said yes, we only do catering. Did you call in an order? I said no, I did not. He was kind enough to ask me if I wanted to order a small order. I ended up getting 21 lumpias. $5 for 7 pieces. I got the pork ones but I do believe they also sell chicken and beef. He had such a kind face and so friendly, it made my weekend. I brought them home, tried them out and they were super delicious. They were definitely packed with meat too. They are definitely already seasoned. The guy and the lady noted to me the next time I want lumpia is to text the number listed on the business card. I 100% will be doing that the next time I am craving lumpia. YUM. Service: 5/5!!! Ambiance: 4/5 Food: 5/5!!!
