Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

After I receive information regarding potential culinary needs and a discussion about possible menu items. I take care to consider a personal quote based on food costs, other materials and the time needed to provide the best service and experience to my clients.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Customers will visit my website, and complete a small questionnaire requesting a quote or more information. Chef Dean will contact the new customer either via phone or email with information or more questions. We will go from there with a quote, agreement, set date and then cook and enjoy!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Chef Dean is an Escoffier honors graduate and a graduate from the Sushi Institute of America in LA. Cooking professionally since 1996, a few of his finest achievements include an ACF Escoffier Silver Medal as well as receiving an invitation to cook a private dinner at the Governor’s mansion in Denver, CO. His most recent experience includes working his way up the ranks at the Four Seasons five diamond hotel in Scottsdale. The past two years he has been working as a personal chef, preparing fresh meals for clients such as professional athletes and prominent figures in the community.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I have always had a passion for cooking cultural foods and I enjoy seeing the delight from friends, family and clients when I cooks for them. After many years in the Food Service industry, I decided to get my Culinary Degree and continue honing my craft from there.

What types of customers have you worked with?

The past two years I have been working as a personal chef, preparing fresh meals for clients such as professional athletes and prominent figures in the community.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

This is a tough question because I am certainly proud of the catering events that I have handled. But I am equally as proud of the weekly meals and food prep. that I provide for my long term clients. I however am most happy for the smiles that I get when clients and family take the first bite of something I have created.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Make sure that the person who is going to cook your meal is personally invested in their craft.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Potential Clients should understand the location of where the event will be held and what is available for the Chef to use to create meals (example; Kitchen, items in the kitchen etc.) Also Clients should understand how many people will be attending the event. Clients should think through menu items with regards to costs and in season items.
