My family and I have had the pleasure of meeting Chris a few years ago and every interaction with him has been nothing short of perfect. This guy knows food! From learning how to cook to being pampered with great food Chris really knows how to not only teach but share his passion of cooking with you.

KARRIE LINDEMAN • 3 MONTHS AGO

We hired Chris for a cocktail style trivia night at our home with friends, and he absolutely blew us away. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and truly above our favorite restaurants quality - 11/10! Our guests are still raving about it, and many have asked for his contact info. The service was just as impressive as the food. We’d recommend Chris to anyone looking to elevate their event!

CASEY APEL • 4 MONTHS AGO

Can't give Chef Chris a more glowing review! He was easy to communicate & prepare with, with great menu options. Meeting him was even better! He is so organized, clean, speaks to his meals well and is an incredibly talented chef! He brought over fresh ingredients from that day and was diligent about food allergies. We are still talking about how special his cooking made our night. So glad he came out for our small Quogue event!
