CHANTAL . CHANTAL .

The food was delicious. It was a great menu for all seafood and crab cakes lovers. However, we had to take care of clearing the plates ourselves between courses and bring everything back to the kitchen (from the dining room) at the end and clean up ourselves. We had another Cozymeal last year, and everything was put away. We did not have to lift a finger. I was just a little surprised by that.

Chef John was absolutely amazing! Not only was the seafood great but he has a wonderful personality! It felt like he was family. Me and my mother had a great experience and learned lots of new ways to cook as well, we loved him! Can’t wait to book again!

Booked the menu Culinary Journey Down Bourbon Street with Chef John in Pembroke Pines

I booked the Bourbon Street class as a surprise for my boyfriend, to celebrate our third anniversary. It was such a blast!! Chef John has such a fun personality, great stories, and amazing cooking skills. He answered ALL of my questions and taught us many techniques (verbally and hands on) for presentation, knife skills, kitchen tools, and more. He made sure to snap some pictures of us, The food we had was absolutely delicious and we were able to take some home! Chef John was great with accommodating my gluten sensitivity as well. We both had an amazing time and left feeling a little sad that it was over. Would 100% recommend!

Booked the menu Explore Japan with Chef John in Pembroke Pines

The evening was filled with good food and lots of laughs. Chef John’s home kitchen was comfortable and well appointed. He showed us how to make Sushi and then let us practice making it ourselves. The Sushi was delicious and the the hours flew by. Great date night!

I met John in the early 90’s when he was a restaurant manager in downtown Miami. John served amazing lunches cafeteria style. There was always a line at the door, where he often greeted the crowd with his warm personality. He cooked several daily specials that always sold out, but my favorite was the hand carved sandwiches. I asked him if I could buy several pounds of his delicious potato salad (it was better than homemade) to take to a party, he quickly obliged and he soon was cooking for a birthday dinner party at my house. John prepared fajitas with all of the traditional sides. Beans, nachos, quesadillas, all perfectly spiced. My cousin enjoyed the meal so much that she hired John on the spot to cook for her New Years Eve party in 1993 and he has continued through 2019! The New Years menu changes annually. Each year tops the previous year with a buffet of creative dishes, but a standout lamb chop appetizer remains a constant. Shrimp (cocktail or coconut), broiled salmon, beef tenderloin, potato pancakes, poke bowls, beef kabobs, there are just too many fabulous items to remember. Always served beautifully and well prepared. John and his staff always provide excellent service and high quality, delicious food with loads of creativity. 5 stars all the way. I can’t wait to see his menu this year, in addition to the lamb chops!
