We miss her and highly highly recommend her creative and delicious services to anyone!

Anika and her cooking are great!!…read more I really cannot say enough good things about our experience with Anika and her amazing food. If you are a busy professional or family who is trying to stay fit and eat healthy, but lack the time or creativity to come up with fun and tasty meals, I would highly encourage you to reach out to Anika. Anika was able to work with some tricky dietary restrictions and make outstanding meals, each and every time. Value wise, the time she saved us in the kitchen, at the grocery store, cleaning up, etc., was worth more than what her very reasonable fees are. All in all, if you have ever considered hiring a private chef for yourself or for your busy family, look no further than Anika!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! I searched for several weeks to find a chef to prepare a meal…read morefor my 30th birthday dinner party, and I am so glad that I found Chef Joe. Every other chef I spoke with would only do a 5-7 course menu, which is not what I was looking for. Chef Joe was happy to do 3 courses for us, and all of them were amazing. Coordination of the evening (menu, services, price, location, etc.) was seamless from start to finish, and he was very responsive and flexible any time I had a question or needed to make a change along the way. He left the kitchen of our Airbnb better than he found it, boxed up each person's leftovers if they had any and labeled the boxes for us by name, and even washed our plates and flatware when we were finished with dinner so that we would have them for the cake we planned to eat later in the evening. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, Chef Joe was also very personable and kind to our whole group. Reasonable prices, above and beyond service, and amazing food...I cannot recommend Couch Potatoes enough. Thank you, Chef Joe, for a wonderful meal and for making my 30th birthday better than I could have imagined!

I was looking for a caterer for a small {50 guests}wedding. After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

A service truck with all of the advertising for Flavor Chef Catering was driving extremely erratically, well over the speed limit, and was tailgating me to the point that I was worried they would hit me. I was turning into my residential area with my signal on when the driver of this truck tried to split the lanes and almost caused an accident. When you have all of your advertising on a panel truck, you need to understand that that's just as important as having a good or bad product. I would never use this company and I would make sure that if I ever have the chance I would let people know not to use them either. Driving so erratically that they almost caused an accident is more damaging than a bad meal.

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!

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.

I had the wonderful opportunity to experience Chef Lucio's cooking a few months ago and it was…read moredelicious! Chef Lucio created a beautiful heirloom tomato salad, a beautifully plated Argentinian board of meet that included various cuts & sausages that were accompanied by sides of chimichurri and Cabernet salt (which was AMAZING).

Chef Ron pulled off an amazing menu for a group of 14 adults with a wide range of dietary needs…read more (We had a few shellfish allergies, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and pregnant menu needs.) This was for my husband's 40th birthday dinner. I was so excited for each course that I forgot to take many photos. The food was outstanding in taste and presentation. For example, my husband likes spicy food but the rest of us don't like the same extreme level of spicy. I in particular am a huge wimp when it comes to spicy food. But Chef Ron took this information and made a spicy dish that we all could enjoy and it didn't burn my tastebuds off. The vegan and vegetarian guest were especially appreciative that the dishes they were served were not just side dishes, but rather proper whole dishes very similar to what everyone else was eating with some brilliant alterations. All the guests had a great time and raved about the quality of the food, cooking, and presentation, but the way I know for a fact that they weren't just being polite in their words, was that after every single course the plates were practically licked clean. When I reached out to Chef Ron for this special birthday dinner I was looking for something that was restaurant quality and fun and wasn't stressful. Chef Ron checked all those boxes and then some. He was extremely easy to work with on the menu and was beyond professional and fun during his explanations of the dishes. I will be looking for another reason to hire him in the future.

Although I have heard of Paellas being made by personal chefs or other 'specialty' catering companies, I thought it extremely challenging for Daniel to make it for a client, especially since there was going to be a Chef (me) attending the celebration. He even questioned me as to my credentials . . . I did the same with him. I think it's slightly a Chef thing. I figured Daniel caught on to me at that point when I was very curious as to his final product since Paella is one of the most technically difficult dishes to pull off. Since I had participated in a similar Paella party at one of my camping adventures in our RV, I knew the sequence that Daniel was following. He executed perfectly. I think Daniel also provided a bit of charcuterie as an appetizer, but it was the Paella that stole the show. Daniel even brought me a plastic fork (culinary school all over again) to test the creation as the rice was cooking to sample the flavor, consistency and doneness. BTW, Daniel even had a nice crusty bottom on that paella. Super nice guy. My five stars represents my hope for this company, although this was certainly not a five-star meal; it was however, a skillfully executed dinner party with Chef Daniel at the helm.
