Ryan helped plan a lovely ‘cooking class’ for 7 as part of our 40th wedding anniversary celebration in our home. The meal was Mediterranean themed and he gave us varied choices of starters/main/sides/dessert to choose from - the most difficult part was having to select just one ! He is an excellent teacher with great stories, attention to detail, and tricks to demonstrate. He communicated well throughout the process. While we ate the meal , he cleaned up …would highly recommend Ryan for your next celebration!!

About Ryan Burnett - Private Chef
Hi, My name is Ryan and I want to feed you! I have over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry, a culinary background from CCSF’s Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Program, and a track record of providing exceptional service. Throughout my career, in all aspects of the hospitality industry, I have honed my skills in private chef work and a commitment to excellence in the highest standards of service and hospitality; demonstrated through my success in managing fine dining services, partnering in restaurant concepts, co-operating a catering company and overseeing restaurant operations, where I have led dedicated staff of up to 30 individuals. I am approachable, kind, engaged and respectful. I pride myself on a cultivated understanding of client dietary preferences and the ability to adapt to different cuisines. I like to focus on the entire aesthetic of a meal from the quality of the ingredients, the integrity with which they’re sourced, the vibrant and unique flavor of each ingredient’s contribution to the dish, the colors and the smells…how do they make you feel? What memories or thoughts do they trigger? Food should stir the emotions and satisfy the soul! Humbly, I’d like to think I can do anything! My experience in different cuisines, diets, allergy restrictions and aversions has varied widely. And if I can’t do it, I’ll learn how! That’s why I find cooking so fascinating and entertaining! There are a million ways to season a chicken…the act is the same but the spices, herbs, seasonings can be different every time and there is always an opportunity to create and learn and grow. My commitment to delivering excellence extends beyond the culinary realm, encompassing all facets of hospitality. This is what I love to do. I am excited about cooking for you :) Cooking from my heart, Ryan

Amazing experience and quality from top to bottom. Responsive, willing to work with you, and an obvious passion for his craft - would highly recommend Ryan for any event!
It was a pleasure working with Ryan and his food was amazing. I will definitely use him again! He was super easy to work with and open to suggestions and gave recommendations to help create a perfect menu and dining experience.
Ryan did an outstanding job and would use him again and again. He came through and knocked it out of the park!!! Everyone was buzzing about the quality of service and food. Look no further than Ryan Burnett.
Chef Ryan truly made our experience a memorable one :) amazing food and service
It was my best friend’s birthday and I had the idea of gifting her this experience which she was utterly surprised and so blown away. CHEF RYAN IS BEYOND AMAZING. His professionalism, organization, attentiveness and passion for cooking showed up in every part of our interaction from beginning to end. Chef Ryan cooked us a 4-course meal and not only did he time each meal perfectly but every single bite of each dish was delicious! I highly recommend Chef Ryan and will definitely hire him in a heartbeat for future events!
I hired Ryan for my girlfriend’s 40th birthday. He was professional and dinner was delicious!
I had a fantastic experience working with Ryan. We had an introduction call about 2 months before the event, he sent me lists of things he could make, we solidified a menu of 5 appetizers for about 20 people in about a week from first contact (and that was primarily me hemming and hawing). I was trying to figure out how to accommodate various food allergies and preferences- and Ryan was able to modify his menu to make it fit all of our needs. We had a quick check in call about a week beforehand to determine what was needed for me to bring vs him and agree on a schedule. The day of the party, Ryan was prompt and professional! I was impressed with the quality of his work and everyone raved about the food. The menu: -Ahi Tuna Ceviche (my personal favorite!) -Sweet potato empanadas -Vada Maw (Spicy potato Indian Sliders) (oh my gosh these were killer! They had such a good crunch.) -Prosciutto flatbread -Tomato bisque and grilled cheese sliders
Really enjoyed having Ryan over and having a very nice meal thoughtfully planned and created by him. I specifically asked him to make it casual and he delivered a very open atmosphere without compromising the quality of the food. He was easy to chat with, open to share how he was preparing the food (which was very fun) and timed out each course of the meal perfectly. Thank you, Ryan. We had a great time!
Ryan did a great job with our event! We had very specific recipes to be made for our wedding rehearsal dinner for about 20 people - Ryan did an amazing job with everything from the place settings, to delicious execution of all the dishes, to helping us serve a 4 course meal and the clean up. It was better than I even could have anticipated! All the while Ryan was a really fun, easy going and enjoyable person to be around and made the evening relaxed and no-stress! Highly recommend for future events :)
Ryan was a pleasure to work with - he put together a menu for a birthday dinner and executed it perfectly, while being creative, professional, and attentive to our requests. I’d gladly hire him again for a similar event in the future!
I was in need of a personal chef for a special night and Ryan was perfect for the occasion. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our four course meal and felt very comfortable around Chef Ryan. I found him to be flexible with the menu, punctual and pricing was reasonable for the special occasion.
