Our graduation dinner event was in good hands and we would hire them again.Posted on Sonia VoraFebruary 12, 2024 I am so thrilled and grateful to have connected with this amazing company. John may be a chef but I think of him as an artist. He can prepare meals for any type of preference or diet and he has a seemingly endless reserve of creativity. Every time I eat something he has prepared I can taste the love and experience he has put into every bite.Posted on Jamie SongFebruary 4, 2024 This was my first time hiring a private chef into my home and it won’t be the last! John and Krystle were nothing short of incredible! From our first phone encounter to saying farewell they were beyond professional and kind! They were prompt in responding and flexible to our needs. They truly made my vision for my birthday come to life. The food was exceptional and the variety they provided was beyond my expectations. Watching John and Krystle create such beautiful dishes in my kitchen was so fun and cool to see! I hope to work with their team again soon for another special occasion! Looking forward to that! Thank you John and Krystle! I would recommend them in a heartbeat!Posted on Jon OkadaJuly 29, 2023 We were celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary and I wanted to do something special. My wife enjoys cooking shows and so I thought about surprising her by arranging a cooking experience with a personal chef. I got connected with Chef John Thompson over Thumbtack and he made our anniversary dinner a wonderfully memorable and delicious occasion. Four family members joined us for the celebration. Chef John expertly guided us as we hand cut udon noodles, made the broth, filled homemade gyoza, and skewered and grilled chicken yakitori. We had so much fun cooking and listening to Chef John's stories and then we got to eat the sumptuous meal that Chef John had taught us to prepare. We're looking forward to an encore engagement when our son comes to visit.
