Custom Surf & Turf Creations
with Chef David S.
in Los Angeles (Palms)
Chef David came to cook us Thanksmas! The Surf & Turf meal he prepared was divine! The crab cakes moist and flavorful, the tenderloin cooked to perfection, the flourless chocolate cake simply decadent. Not only was dinner a highlight, Chef David himself is a joy to be around. You can feel how much he enjoys sharing his gift of cooking with the people he serves. Thanks for making our holiday celebration extra special!

Vibrant Latin Flavors
with Chef Jasmin
in Beverly Hills
We had an incredible experience with Chef Jasmine. She arrived looking professional in a very nice chef's uniform and came fully prepared with everything she needed—including her own serving ware—which made the whole process completely hands-off for us. From the moment she stepped into the kitchen, she took charge with ease and confidence. The food was absolutely delicious, with multiple generous courses and a lovely dessert that rounded out the meal perfectly. Beyond her culinary skills, she brought a fun, energetic spirit to the evening and was incredibly polite and engaging. After the meal, she even took care of cleanup and loaded the dishwasher—truly above and beyond. She's more than just a chef; she’s like a personal food guru. Highly recommend!

Chef David is fantastic. The meal was obviously great, but he was just a fun addition to the evening. He gave us concise explanations of each course and posed in photo op's! We'll be using him for our next event.
