Chef Dean was amazing! He was easy to communicate with for the planning stages, then was such a joy to work with at our home. He and his wife Tricia made our event so wonderful, and his food was unbelievable!! We will be hiring him again in the future!!

If I could give Chef Dean 10 stars I would. This entire experience was so elegant and perfect, I would love to do it again. Chef Dean planned the whole menu with me for my husband’s birthday. He was super responsive and easy to communicate with. On the day of the party him and his wife showed up to get things started. We were waited on with the appetizers, waters were filled, plates, cleared, dishes and kitchen left spotless. The food was impeccable! My husband and I agreed it was one of the best steaks we have ever had. We hope to use Chef Dean again in the future and would recommend anyone to do the same!

Amazing! We had a Valentine’s Day dinner party for four couples. Chef Dean was top-notch. From creating a menu to his communication to the quality and value of the food. Use professional, and it was wonderful that I could sit back relax and enjoy my friends, knowing that he took care of every detail. Thank you, Chef Dean! below is spinach, artichoke dip with pita chips, flatbread bites with figs, goat cheese, and prosciutto, chicken confit, which is so tender it just melts in your mouth, mayonnaise potatoes, and roasted asparagus with lemon zest and garlic.

Chef Dean was great! He was very responsive and reasonably priced for the quality of food. He made dinner for 9 of us for a bachelorette party at our Airbnb. He brought everything, was super friendly and the food was great! We really enjoyed having dinner at the house. He also customized the menu to dietary restrictions. Would definitely book him again!

Dinner was so delicious everyone raved about the meal all evening! Chef was helpful in choosing a menu and quick to respond throughout the time leading up to the dinner. Chef was punctual and served and played everything to perfection. Thanks Chef Dean!

Chef Dean was excellent, very professional, reliable and provided a great service for me and my friends. His BBQ food was amazing! The Arizona street corn was especially tasty. I highly recommend Chef Dean for your next dinner gathering.

Chef Dean was amazing!! He came in and started cooking and made the most delicious courses. He cooked, served, cleaned, and made sure everything was great before he left. We had an Italian menu and let me tell you, best decision I made. The crusted Parmesan chicken and spicy vodka rigatoni were delicious!! Such a great chef and he’s super nice and kind. I definitely recommend 10/10.

Chef Dean came to the rescue when a previous chef bailed on us for a private dinner while we were on vacation. He was so easy to work with (planned the entire 16 person dinner in a week). Everyone thought the food was delicious and he was a pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend him enough!

Chef Dean is absolutely amazing! He recently cooked for my fiancé and buddies for a bachelor party and they would not stop talking about how much they loved him and how delicious the food was. He responded very quickly to my message and made everything extremely easy. He gave us menu options to choose from after hearing what the groom would want to eat. He showed up on time and made an amazing dinner! My fiancé also said he was just an overall great time to have in the house. We highly recommend Chef Dean and if we are ever back in Scottsdale would hire him again in a heart beat. Thank you!!!

Chef Dean made my fiancés birthday flawless. The food was exceptional and a showstopper. He printed extra menus to put on the plates with my boyfriends name for his birthday. He arrived early and explained everything to us. He accommodated last minute additions. I cannot say enough about how this was worth every penny!

Stephanie A.Apr 2021

From start to finish the evening was an absolute success. Chef Dean and his team went above and beyond to ensure each detail was top notch. He was extremely professional and responsive and most importantly the food was incredible! Some guests said it was the best meal they’d had all year! When the evening was done the kitchen was sparkling clean, you would never know a five course meal had just been prepared. Chef Dean even carefully boxed up extra food to enjoy the next day. Would I hire him again, absolutely!
