Chef Patrick White traveled to Kiawah Island last night and prepared dinner for eight of us to celebrate one of our's 60th birthday. The meal was phenomenal! I had steak with mashed potatoes, zucchini, and a salad (with buttermilk battered fried chicken) that was like a meal unto itself. The presentation was excellent, the conversation (with Chef Patrick) was both entertaining and educational, and the experience was, not only very fun, but an incredible value. I would, quite honestly, do it monthly, if I lived a little closer to his home base. Thank you, Patrick, for a real first-class experience! Jeff Kolovrat McLeansville, NC read more

0 stars Chef completely ruined my wedding dinner. Changed the menu from what was agreed, left out ingredients, and left seeds in food. FFK would not refund, had to submit charge back with my cc. I will never use FFK again and advise everyone to avoid. read more

Amazing private chef experience with chef katie. She executed the menu perfectly and it was so nice to have an exquisite meal and everything was cleaned up and leftover packed and put away. read more

When I first learned about Food Fire + Knives on Instagram, I knew I had to keep it in mind for the right occasion. My brother and sister-in-law recently purchased a new home and I thought this would be a great housewarming experience -- and it truly was! We picked a date that worked for all of us (my husband, too!) and scheduled with FF+K through their website. The process to book is insanely easy. First, you check if your date is available. Next, you select how many people, which courses you'd like (minimum of an entree, you can then add salad, soup, appetizer and dessert). We chose to go with 3 courses, an appetizer, entree and dessert. I let my brother and sister-in-law choose the menu and we went with the Pork Belly Bao Buns for the appetizer which were the perfect balance of sweet, savory and delicious. The buns were so fluffy and everything just tasted perfect; Chef Michael mentioned he puts a southern BBQ spin on them and the flavors worked perfectly. Next we moved on to the Surf and Turf entree which included a filet over mashed potatoes and paired with a warm lobster and vegetable hash. Again, everything was cooked to a tee and the quality of ingredients was exceptional. We finished off with my brother's dessert request: the cereal milk ice creams. A cool concept, we were able to sample the Cocoa Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Fruity Pebbles flavors -- this was a really fun way to end the meal. Along with Chef Michael, we also had Chef Drew and Liz and everyone was friendly and engaging. On top of preparing and serving the food, they also took care of all dishes and cleaned the area they used. They are food ninjas -- leave you full and don't leave a trace! I will definitely be booking with this team again. This is a great option for birthdays, anniversaries, vacationers, family in town... really any gathering or just because! read more

My friends and I recently had Chef Brandon Simpson cook Downeast Traditions: Classic Maine Fare. The meal we chose was lobster risotto. He was professional, on time, prepped, served and cleaned everything. He was fun to be around and engaged in conversation with us. The experience was a blast, having a delicious meal in the comfort of your own home and we are looking forward to having him back again! read more

We had a truly amazing experience with Chef Max. We had a party of 14 and it was perfection. He was very communicative leading up to the event and made sure I was happy with all the food choices. Once the day arrived Max was punctual and very friendly. The quality of food and ingredients used was top notch and he was very professional. Everyone in attendance raved about how good everything was. Would definitely request this company and this chef again! read more

An amazing experience from start to finish. Great customer support help me place an order despite being in a town outside the area covered by the service (Chef Graham was ok driving to us). Then there was the food and service provided by Chef Graham Overal. It was really fantastic. I think we had 5-6 courses for 14 people. He dealt with dietary restrictions/preferences, a small kitchen, and a far away drive. He was incredibly flexible, great to work with, and his food was delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Soon after Chef Laura arrived wonderful aromas were wafting from the kitchen as she prepared a Greek-themed dinner for our family gathering. The delicious courses began with flaming saganaki, a huge hit with the entire family. Next came lamb wrapped in grape leaves, rice, pitas, tomato salads, fantastic tzatziki sauce. Desserts of baklava and apple cobbler topped off the evening. Chef Laura arrived on time, explained each dish, was very courteous and left the kitchen cleaned and dishes washed. I highly recommend using her talented services to those planning a special event. I give her performance 5 Stars. read more

We used Food Fire + Knives for a Bachelorette party in Charleston this past weekend. We chose the fried green tomatoes and fried chicken prepared by Chef Ed and he brought along an assistant, Chef Jesse. Both Chefs were fantastic! I truly can't say enough good things about them. The food came out absolutely amazing and they left our kitchen cleaner than when they arrived. The company as a whole also made booking and planning very easy. I was able to check availability, choose my menu, add courses, and pay the invoice online in advance. When I had some questions a few weeks before the event, Michael returned my call within a few hours of receiving in. The week of the event Chef Ed contacted me to confirm everything and he made some last minute suggestions to edit some of the courses to make the food make the most sense for our party (which we very much appreciated- his suggestions exceeded our expectations) Definitely recommended this company and Chef Ed! read more

We rented a house in Isle Of Palms over the Fourth of July weekend and Food, Fire, and Knives was recommended to us by the property management company. I initially reached out to them through their website and was immediately contacted by Mike the owner. We immediately clicked and I really liked his energy, professionalism and spirit behind his cooking. We exchanged emails, texts and calls in the two months leading up to our arrival. Mike was always punctual, available, and creative in the menus he suggested. He was also very attentive to various food requests including allergies or vegetarian options some in our party had requested. Mike provided three very well thought out and creative menus that he emailed to me and I was able to share with my family. We were all very excited for the three dinners we planned at our house on the beach. Mike and his very talented and friendly team completely knocked it out of the park for all three dinners. All of the dinners including various appetizers, salads, entrées and desserts used only the finest ingredients and were plated as if you were in a five-star restaurant. Mike was extremely generous with the portions and also packaged whatever leftovers for us to enjoy the next day. We have four young children so Mike also was able to customize food specific for them. All of the chefs were very, very friendly and we all appreciated Mike explaining what was in each dish and the way in which it was prepared. Everything Mike and I discussed for the menu came to reality and it all tasted absolutely delicious. They always left the kitchen looking much better than when they came with all of the dishes cleaned and put away. If you are looking for the convenience and comfort of eating a five-star meal from your home I would highly recommend Mike and his team at Food, Fire and Knives for a culinary experience. We were visiting from San Francisco and I told Mike that if he ever finds himself in the bay area I will come up with a reason to have a dinner party and have him cook at it read more

Food Fire + Knives was the perfect activity to make our Charleston experience memorable! As the host of a bachelorette party, this was the perfect event. After ordering exactly what I wanted for the group online (so easy!) I received a confirmation email shortly after. Leading up to the event, the business was communicative and organized! The chef was great -- he was professional, showed up on time, and cooked a delicious meal - taking into account all dietary restrictions. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and kinder business! Absolutely must-do when visiting Charleston with a group. read more
