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!

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.

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.

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!

Communication was clear and seamless throughout the planning process, the day of the event, and even after. The meal itself was outstanding our guests are still talking about it and raving about how fun and memorable the entire experience was. The beautiful charcuterie to start the evening and the tableside Caesar salad were the perfect way to kick things off and really set the tone for the night. One of the biggest highlights was being able to actually enjoy time with our guests. Chef Joseph handled everything, and even cleaned the kitchen afterward, which was such an unexpected and appreciated touch. I would choose having Chef Joseph host an event in our home over a restaurant experience any day. It felt personal, relaxed, and truly special. I will absolutely be using his services again for both personal celebrations and work events. Highly recommend!

He sent me the teppanyaki menu and pricing. Reserving our date and time was easy, I just paid 50% upfront, and he was extremely flexible with the food options. On the day of the event, Italo and his helper arrived right on time and handled everything. They even offer three different color set-ups to choose from, which made the presentation feel really special. All I had to provide were the drinks and cups. The food itself was fantastic, and the teppanyaki show was so much fun! To top it all off, they finished with a crêpe station for dessert, which was the perfect final touch. I also learned that they do brunch, Italian dinners, and even pasta-making lessons... so many great options for future parties. I will definitely be booking them again. If you're looking for something unique, delicious, and stress-free for your next event, I highly recommend Take Chef Home!

I was attempting to book a chef for a micro wedding and received a proposal from Chef Percia Sanchez through Take a Chef. At first, I was genuinely excited--she appeared flexible and open to menu adjustments, which felt promising. However, that was the only positive part of this experience. I followed up with questions just one day after her last message. At that point, pricing had not been updated, so I wasn't able to move forward with booking. Then... nothing. No response. I waited several days and still didn't hear back. After reaching out to customer support (who had to contact her directly), I was told two days later that she had already booked another client for my date. Not once did she communicate this to me. Even more frustrating--our message thread was deleted, so I couldn't even reference our previous conversation. No update, no courtesy message, no apology. Just silence and a disappearing act. Customer support suggested I look at other proposals, but after this experience, it's hard to trust the reliability or professionalism of this platform. Communication is the bare minimum, and unfortunately, that standard was not met here.

I had one Zoom call with Francesco prior to the event, and he assured me that it would be a unique, dynamic experience and that everything would go well. He is such a warm and welcoming person and I completely trusted him-- which I'm glad I did. The event was chaotic due to the number of people, but they handled it with grace and made everything fun. We had applause break out a few times-- when does that happen with adults? Not often. But they really liked making pasta and I was here for it. Because we had the event outside at Coastal Roots Farm in January, it was a bit chilly. But both Julia at the farm and the whole Cucina Migrante team pivoted well and made the best of the whole experience. I really liked that this felt like an experience and not a class. It felt fun and not forced. AND it was delicious. I think that's what you can expect from this company, so I highly recommend them.

They also offer discounts and sales often and often give a cash discount when paying too. Our guests always rave about the food and they are the only taco company we know of that offers fish tacos as an option. We also love that they offer more unusual items such as grilled veggies and churros. We highly recommend Taquizas José for your next event.
