My mom did not want to go to a restaurant and preferred to spend her birthday with the family. The pricing was better than I would expect at a restaurant, and we would not have been able to have an enjoyable conversation and great grandkids enjoying themselves playing at my mom's house. Rich Delivered!! Rich provided an extensive menu with multiple appetizers, salad, soup, and entrée options. I put in a venue request, and I received a phone call and emailed customizable menu within an hour. I was a little hesitant since I cook all the family meals but was not disappointed with what Rich delivered. Specific recommendations and experiences include: Bread tray homemade and warm when it arrived. Appetizers Seafood Ceviche an outstanding choice that was extremely fresh and delicious. Mini Bell's charred peppers a big hit with the family outstanding. Caprese on homemade Evoo toast simply amazing. Salad Blackberry fresh and refreshing. Soup Seafood Bisque the best the family has ever had. Entrée Braised Short Ribs and root vegetables with added crab cake amazing as well. Steak and Cake the family favorite. Sides Roasted Cauliflower Caponata excellent choice. Whipped Maple Sweet Potato my moms favorite what can I say a true delight. Desert Chocolate Mousse delicious choice. Rich is extremely personable and provided an excellent experience to our event. He left the kitchen spotless and cleaned all the dishes, cookware, and stovetop. My family was extremely impressed with everything that Rich provided, I highly recommend Rich for any private event that you are considering

Dylan customized our menu based on my family's preferences for fresh, clean naturally flavorful dishes and he delivered an epic 5-course dinner that tasted as incredible as it looked. Truly fine dining in the comfort of our Airbnb home. I also appreciated how laid back and flexible Dylan was the entire time - he's a true professional and rolled with the punches. His 2nd chef couldn't make it last minute but Dylan made sure this didn't affect our experience by shopping for half of his ingredients and swinging by to check out our kitchen the day before so that he could maximize his time the day of. The presentation of each course was also perfectly timed, allowing for room to breathe in between and each new course was brought to us hot and fresh off the stove. (Anyone who's hosted Thanksgiving dinner will know it's not easy to time the cooking of multiple dishes at once - I've tried and failed ). Additional bonuses that were meaningful to me: All produce was organic, and the seafood/meat was purchased fresh the day of from Whole Foods (tender grass fed rack of lamb, melt in your mouth sea bass, and truly the biggest scallops I've ever tasted). FYI Dylan is also fantastic with nosy kids who like to ask silly questions and/or get involved in the kitchen. Can't wait to taste his cooking again in the future!

I am a busy, working mom of 3 young children as well as an adult student. Preparing and cooking meals became a big chore for me that was getting harder and harder to fit into my schedule. I wanted my family to eat healthy, home cooked, fresh meals but couldn't find the time, so I began my search for a personal chef. I was so lucky to find the Flavorful Fork. The menu the owner develops is customized to fit your families taste and dietary needs. She takes the time each week to review the menu choices and let me tell you we have never been disappointed. Each meal is prepared fresh, packaged beautifully and ready to serve. The meals prepared by the owner are so delicious and filling! Some of our favorite meals have been Chilean sea bass, sesame crusted Ahi Tuna and Chimichangas! Having a personal chef through the Flavorful Fork is the best decision I have made. It has helped me tremendously so I can better balance my schedule during the week!
