Meet Chris
I'm a professional chef with over 15 years in the food and beverage industry. Classically trained in AAA-rated fine dining restaurants in a variety of European/Mediterranean cuisines with an emphasis on local, seasonal and sustainably-grown food. I work with clients to craft delicious, inventive menus for the private dinner or event - paying specific attention to any dietary needs/concerns or allergens to avoid. Why go out for a fine-dining meal in a crowded, loud restaurant when you can have one prepared for you in your own home?
This dedication to the freshest + highest-quality ingredients carries over into the creation of seasonally-driven cocktail lists based on clients' tastes and preferences. For those looking for a more cocktail-driven event, I'll work with you to craft a drink menu based on party theme, guest tastes and ingredient seasonality.
I now travel between Salem, MA and Los Angeles, CA and am available to provide services in both areas!
What hosts say about Chris
“Chef Chris was fantastic! Easy to communicate with, super accommodating. He was punctual, professional and my partner and I felt like we had a totally private experience. The food was absolutely insanely tasty and beautifully presented. It was like we brought in our fav restaurant dishes into our home. Highly recommend him!”
“Chef Chris was incredible for a bday dinner for my wife and her friends. He worked with her to craft the perfect menu, working around allergies and preferences. He even crafted a special cocktail. In addition, he brought his own cooking utensils, indoor slippers, and respected all of the guests. So thankful he was a part of the celebration. Highly recommend.”
“Chris was phenomenal! We booked him for a bachelorette party to come to our airbnb for dinner and it was absolutely perfect. He was polite and professional, the food was amazing, and he left the place spotless. Would definitely recommend!”
“Chef Chris was great. It’s a little unsettling hiring someone you don’t know to host a 12 person work dinner. Chris did a fantastic job. The food was quality and delicious. He explained all the items and served beautifully. Everyone is raving about the meal from end to end. Everything cooked to perfection. Would absolutely recommend him!!”
“Chris made a surprise family birthday party an evening to remember! Each course was amazing, the kids LOVED the menu he prepared for them, and he went out of his way to make a special birthday dessert and refused to let a series of unfortunate events that day deter him from delivering! We really appreciated his determination, the food and the entire overall experience.”
“Chef Chris did a fantastic job! Every dish was incredible and made for a special night. Would highly recommend!”
