What a fantastic experience! We wanted to do something special to celebrate my mother-in-laws 60th birthday. We wanted to do something intimate, and loved the idea of being able to stay home because we have young children and its always hard to go out to dinner to eat (they never want to sit still!) I started searching for a private chef in the Frederick area, and I am so thankful I came across Perfect Little Bites. Chris was so easy to work with. He sent a bunch of menu options, and got back to me quickly with detail when trying to work out the menu. We had a couple of vegetarians and an allergy we had to be aware of, and he went above and beyond with catering to all of our requests. We celebrated during COVID and we felt extremely comfortable with the procedures in place. Chris was super friendly, and wore a mask/gloves. Our family thought our appetizers, entrée and dessert were absolutely fantastic. It was such a great experience to get to host the party, but not having to worry about cooking or cleaning up the kitchen after. It was one of the easiest parties I have ever hosted. Thank you, Chris, for your service. We cannot wait to host our next special event! read more

What a fun experience! My parents arranged for Chef Chris to cook a special dinner for us during our annual family trip. A night off from meal prep, cooking, and clean up was a gift in and of itself - but Chris's amazing food made it truly special. Chris is very personable and really knows his stuff - it was fascinating hearing about his own experiences, as well as the Frederick food scene. I know I walked away with a few new tips, tricks, and cookbooks to add to my collection (Knives & Ink by Isaac Fitzgerald and Wendy MacNaughton being one of them). And when it came down to the food - where the rubber meets the road - Chris is a 10/10. None of us could stop eating the pepperoni spread with apricots and walnuts. The apple fennel celery salad was light and fresh. The short ribs with herb chimichurri paired perfectly with the corn pudding and Brussel sprouts. And the malted milk pot de crème with pretzel crunch was everything you've ever wanted in a dessert. So, if you find yourself in need of exceptional food and a fun experience, definitely consider Chris and Perfect Little Bites. read more

For my 41st birthday this year, I decided to have an adult dinner party! I hired Chris to come to our house and with his collaboration we came up with a menu which was FANTASTIC!!! He nailed it with each and every dish. The 12 of us were left fat and happy from all of the incredible food. I didn't take pics of all of it but we had french onion soup, crab cakes, beef tenderloin, garlic mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts from heaven followed by...wait for it...Krissy Kreme crème brûlée. To die for! My most favorite thing besides the deliciousness is he brought every cooking pot, pan, utensil and all serving plates and flatware. I didn't have to clean A THING! We are in the midst of planning to have Chris do another dinner party a month from now and plan on having him a recurring staple in our house every few months from here on out. He's very reasonable cost wise, very comparable to the cost of a restaurant so why not have one of a kind meals prepared for you at home where you can just do you! Reach out to me if you have any questions, glad to answer any you might have... read more

On 30 October, Chris prepared a wonderful Anniversary dinner for my husband & I. He arrived right on time, was fully prepared and cooked a flavorful and satisfying meal for us. Our menu consisted of a butternut/apple soup w/maple cream drizzle and nut crumble, Asian pear salad with manchego cheese, toasted Spanish almonds and an apple cider vinaigrette dressing. Our entree was Local farm-raised pork schnitzel w/mushroom cream sauce, homemade spaetzle, and roasted Brussels sprouts, with bacon and maple syrup. It was fabulous! Dessert did not disappoint either, which was a traditional cheesecake with emulsified strawberries, topped with a pretzel crumble for that savory sweet/salty taste. We thoroughly enjoyed talking and getting to know Chris and of course our Anniversary dinner. We plan to invite him back to cook a Spanish tapas and paella meal in December. Thanks again Chris! read more

My wife surprised me with a dinner cooked in our home by Chris Spears of Perfect Little Bites. The dinner was outstanding! She was able to select the courses from a large list of menu ideas. Many of the items she chose were not things I would normally order in a restaurant, as I told Chris, I am a meat and potatoes guy from Pennsylvania Dutch country. Chris' courses were all great! My wife honored my normal tastes by choosing Beef Tenderloin with Herb Chimichurri as the entrée. It was incredible! Chris brought everything he needed other than the service ware. Not only did he cook a delicious meal, Chris also cleaned up and left our kitchen as it was before he started. Chris provided a great experience and great food. We could not have had a dinner like this at any restaurant, at least ones that we can afford! I highly recommend Chris Spears and Perfect Little Bites! read more

Perfect little bites made our first wedding anniversary such a great experience. Since in time of COVID, we couldn't go out and celebrate. Chris made our stay home anniversary dinner so unique. The food was to die for, I never finish my food when we go out to dinner, but the food so was great that I couldn't stop eating. My husband and I were amazed now how safely Chris worked. He had a mask on, wore gloves at all times. Chris brought everything with him and cooked the most amazing food for us. Then he even cleaned up the space he used before he left, which was so great. We could see what he was making and how he was making it, so it made us feel like we were part of the whole process. Even during the time of COVID, we were still able to enjoy our first wedding anniversary. Thank you so much, Chris. :-) read more

We hired Chris on several occasions. For our Company Christmas party he entertained 12 guests with the most wonderful meal! Charming witty and a delight to have over. We hired him again for a romantic peaceful dinner at home to celebrate the birth of our third child. We sent the older kiddos to Grandmother's and my wife and I enjoyed one of the most exquisite experiences since we got married. He brought his own dishes and utensils which was great because I still had a heaping pile of our dishes in the sink! (I was a tad emmbarrased) But he made no bones about it and after he left I feel like the kitchen was even cleaner then when he arrived. Don't hesitate call Perfect Little Bites Today! read more

Chris was wonderful to work with, from start to finish. He had tons of menu options to choose from. The hardest part was narrowing down what we wanted! Everyone loved the birthday dinner he prepared, and Chris was kind enough to share the recipes with us after! We had shrimp and grits (real southern style grits), some delicious appetizer dips including a smoked gouda and a curried lentil, and a beautiful seasonal grilled peach salad. Chris took care of all the preparation, brought his own supplies, and all the cleanup! It was so cool to have him explain each course to our table as it came out. A+ experience from start to finish, and I definitely plan on hiring him again! read more

Few weeks ago, I won a raffle grand prize that included a weekend in a cabin in West Virginia. Included what a dinner prepared by Perfect Little Bites owner and Chef (Chris). Prior to the weekend, I asked Chris to come up with his own menu for us. It was an excellent meal I will not soon forget. From the appetizer to the decadent Paw Paw Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Creme brûlée's, It was amazing. His passion and creativity were refreshing and it was a pleasure to talk about food and the food industry in general (I have been a chef for a long time myself). It was truly a treat for me and my guests. I recommend Chef Chris 100%. Truly an awesome experiance. read more

I hired Chris when searching for an in-home chef that would serve as a nice alternative to a catering service. As the host of an intimate retreat for female entrepreneurs, I wanted to make sure the first night's meal was accommodating for all of my guests and the person cooking could infuse a little entertainment in their approach. Chris served up on both of these fronts! Not only did he help me narrow down the menu perfectly, he also shared a bit about how he started his own business. It was an easy process from inquiry to night of and I'm already thinking of how/when I can hire him again! read more

A dinner prepared by Chris was gifted to my husband and me for Christmas (2 years ago -and he honored it!) by our daughters. We had a wonderful evening with Chris - full of great food and good conversation. He brought a great teaser with him for us to nibble on while he prepared the first course - wish I could recall the name of it - but it was scrumptious! It was also a really relaxed evening; three of us hanging around the kitchen island like family. And our kitchen looked as pristine when he left was it was when he arrived with leftovers in the refrigerator that fed us for two days! read more

Perfect Little Bites is one of the most creative and customer-service businesses in the area. I have produced events and parties with up to 1000 attendees, with a variety of caterers supplying sample-sized appetizers, etc. The Perfect Little Bites line is always long, and people return multiple times to see what he will be offering next. I especially like the inventive twists he puts on un-intimidating crowd favorites, such as a gourmet mac & cheese or a sandwich combo you'd never think of. I haven't yet had the chance to book him for an in-house chef's dinner, but I will soon! read more

I wanted to do something special for my wife's birthday and I'm so happy to have found Chris and Perfect Little Bites. From the very beginning Chris was incredibly responsive and easy to work with, customizing the perfect menu for our evening. He arrived exactly on time and completely prepared. We were absolutely blown away by every dish and loved the attention and passion he applied to each one. He even gave helpful tips for how to recreate them on our own. Overall, it was such an enjoyable and unique experience, and we can't wait to have Chris back again! read more

We had an unbelievable evening with Perfect Little Bites. Having Chris come into our home and prepare a delicious, gourmet meal was truly outstanding. Chris takes care of everything (including the dishes!) which allowed us to enjoy a wonderful restaurant experience in our home. And his menu choices were excellent. After exchanging information about our likes and dislikes, he prepared a terrific menu for us. We would highly recommend Perfect Little Bites for any special occasion, or as a unique gift option. Thanks Chris! read more

We had Chris come out to our Air BNB we were staying in for the weekend and had the BEST night!! He was fantastic and so easy to work with. He cares about your experience, the presentation, and the food. His menu has amazing choices- it was hard to choose! He had no problem accommodating our gluten free guest (truly went above and beyond for her to enjoy our dessert). He was on time and left the kitchen just as he found it. Last, he was enjoyable to talk to! We would 100% hire Chris again! Thank you!! read more

I had a dinner party for 16 people last weekend, and Chris did a wonderful job making the dinner special. He was very accommodating with my requests, and made the night a complete success! My friends all enjoyed talking with him and learning about food he was making. He and Dan did an excellent job serving a sit down dinner and keeping the food coming. And another plus......my kitchen was spotless when they left. I will definitely recommend Perfect Little Bites to all of my friends. read more

We hired Chris for a small dinner party this past weekend. He was very easy and available to communicate with during the planning phase, and offered us many options and suggestions. Chris brings e everything with him, and takes it all away leaving the kitchen cleaner than when he arrived. It was so nice to be able to sit and enjoy dinner with guests and not have any stress. The meal was delicious and beautifully presented. We highly recommend you treat yourself to this experience! read more

Chris is fantastic! We have had the pleasure of his services and company for two special occasions, and each time it was wonderful. Chris goes out of his way to make sure that everything he puts on your plate is delicious. Have food dislikes/intolerances/allergies? No problem! There is a reason "perfect" is in his company name. Sign up with Chris for your next event, and you can find out for yourself. read more

Chef Chris was amazing and our food was outstanding. Would highly recommend for date night or dinner parties. He is very personable, highly professional, and knowledgable. We had leftovers we enjoyed for days later. Even better, he cleaned up everything in the kitchen so I was able to truly relax and enjoy my birthday celebration. We can't wait till we can throw parties again and invite our friends. read more
