Reviews
Food was great, he was kind and patient at an Anniversary party for my parents when things ran behind. Pleasure to work with.
Logan did a great job. Arrived early and stayed late. Food was really wonderful! Everyone raved. He even helped cut/serve the wedding cake. I highly recommend him; great quality, service and value. Top quality. He made me look great to all my guests. Thank you very much!!
Chef Logan was outstanding hosting 7 women for my sister's bachelorette! He showed up on time with everything he needed to execute without any interruptions. I was concerned about the stove in our VRBO, as the vent was very low above the stove, but he made it work perfectly because each dish was... chef's kiss! The planning process was simple and easy; we chose our dishes based off of his menu and we were also able to modify selections based on dietary restrictions within our group. He even accommodated our eating location change as we were enjoying the outside patio so much we decided to take the first course out there in the gorgeous San Diego weather. Each dish was plated perfectly, and the portions were larger than I imagined; we were all very full and enjoyed every bite. I've attached photos of our food, however, we failed to get one of dessert as we were so excited for it (hazelnut panna cotta with pistachios) that we devoured it without a photo opp, lol. Thank you again so much Chef Logan, and we're so happy we were able to have you as part of an epic bachelorette weekend!
We had an excellent experience with Logan and his team. From the menu preparation to the professionalism on the day of our event, Logan was the best to work with! We highly recommend him and his team!
Chef Logan was amazing from start to finish! The service quality is outstanding and the value for money is unquestionable. Best of all, the food—which was what we hired him for—was super delicious! All my guests were raving about how good the food was. I highly recommend Chef Logan and would definitely hire him again.
I used the Wandering Knife for my daughters Sip and See party for our new grandson. Logan and his staff were amazing. The food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. We had the Mediterranean cuisine which was fabulous. Highly recommend Logan! Thank you for making my party such a hit!
Logan catered a work party for us and he was so easy to work with, the food was absolutely delicious, and I would absolutely work with him again.
We hired chef Logan to create a delicious meal for our girls trip last weekend! He was wonderful to communicate with (showed extreme patience with us while we decided on the menu), brought all the supplies he needed and was extremely professional. He was able to accommodate our many dietary restrictions while still providing a delicious and gorgeous meal. We were able to select two entries which was amazing and helped with the groups differing interests. If we are ever in the Murrieta area again, we will absolutely hire chef Logan for another dinner party. If you are looking for an amazing chef, look no further than here!
Do yourself a favor: book Chef Logan! The food and experience were wonderful. I booked him for a dinner for my sister’s bachelorette weekend and all of the girls raved about the experience after. Chef Logan was on-time and friendly and the food was great (one of the best salads I’ve ever had). He also left the kitchen super clean. If you’re looking for a fun, unique, and delicious experience, look no further.
Chef Logan prepared an amazing four course meal for my partner and I. He made a special day even more special. The tantalizing cuisine had our taste buds doing a happy dance. My partner could not stop smiling and raving on the food and the experience. Thanks Chef Logan and will book you again!
Chef Logan was amazing! He did a private dinner for my dad’s birthday. It was perfect. The food was unreal! 10/10!!! We will definitely be hiring him again in the future! (I took a bite of the soup before I got a picture)
The experience with Logan was Amazing!!! Very open to new ideas on the menu, prompt responses whenever I had questions, and made sure the day was absolutely perfect. My husband and I just got married in a backyard wedding, and Logan rolled with the punches helped us set up under the tents in the rain and fed 40 people the most amazing hors d’oeuvres, dinner and coffee bar. 10/10 experience, quality of food and layout, everyone enjoyed everything he made and many people took his card for future events.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Logan for our end-of-the-year real estate party, and the experience was nothing short of amazing! Logan's flexibility and willingness to accommodate our last-minute timeline were a game-changer, making our event a success. From the days leading up to the event, Logan's professionalism and responsiveness were amazing. Communication was seamless, and he worked closely with us to ensure every detail was just right. The fact that he took the time to address allergies and provide tasty vegetarian options truly set him apart. The food was a highlight of the evening—absolutely delicious! Logan's culinary expertise shone through, leaving our guests raving about the menu. The attention to detail and quality of service exceeded our expectations. We are already looking forward to booking Logan for our next event.
I greatly enjoyed working with Logan and his team. The food was delicious and his attention to detail was noticed. I'm sorry that we didn't take pictures of the food station but it was nicely presented.
Scheduled a private dinner party for 6 people, and had a really great experience working with Logan. Our family wanted a low key dinner at home, but also wanted to do something special for a birthday. This dinner was the best of both worlds. Chef Logan was very responsive to emails, and flexible with making small requested adjustments to his menu. Portions were also very good, and meal was filling. Food was flavorful, and he left the kitchen spotless after dinner. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a tasty private dining experience.
Chef Logan was absolutely amazing to have for my bachelorette dinner. He cooked dinner for 7 of us and was on time, organized, efficient, and understanding. He was on top of all of our allergy needs. We were a little late to sit down to dinner and he was completely flexible and even took photos for us. The pasta had such a unique flavor profile and he really added to our weekend experience. Thank you, Chef Logan!
From the first point of contact to the day of service, Chef Logan was responsive and very professional. He has a wide selection of menus to choose from and can accommodate for dietary restrictions. He provided a wonderful private dinner service for a Bachelorette Party of 10 at my home. All the ladies were impressed by the courses and the service, and also enjoyed watching Chef cook. He made himself right at home when he arrived and left my kitchen neat and clean when he left. I would definitely want to work with him again and would recommend him to all my friends and family. Thank you, Chef Logan!
Chef Logan gave our mother the most amazing birthday meal she could ask for. From bringing all the food and equipment, to working tirelessly prepping a multi-course menu, Chef Logan helped us customize a menu that our mother loved. She raved about the fish he prepared and his amazing coconut panna cotta! This was one of the most relaxing and fun birthdays. Chef Logan is a true professional, with great communication and responsiveness. The food he prepared us was unique and delicious. We will definitely call on him again when were have another big event!!
Everything was amazing! Chef Logan was very professional, and did a great job at helping me create a menu. The food tasted great! This was for my 30th birthday and it was nice to have a fancy dinner with close friends. I regret not taking pictures of the food, but I promise you won’t be disappointed. Picture of the menu we created below.
