What hosts say about Chris

“Chef Chris was not only absolutely lovely, the food was incredible. He cooked a wonderful traditional Thanksgiving meal for 8 people, the turkey was juicy, best turkey we all ever had, the sides were traditional, but with an interesting twist to each of them (eg. mashed potatoes with brown butter). Desserts were out of this world. Overall presentation was lovely, clean-up was very thorough! …”
