We asked Julie to cook at our house for 11 of us, for my 50th birthday and we were all completely blown away! The five course meal was amazing; Julie fit right in with our friends for some laughs and a toast — and it was so much fun watching a professional chef cook in my kitchen!
I HIGHLY recommend Julie to anyone looking to have a private chef imagine an amazing meal!
We are already planning to take some of her cooking classes and l’m trying to find a good reason to invite her back for another evening!
AMAZING!
From planning to execution everything was wonderful! Julie was so professional, but also warm and friendly. The food was fantastic and my kitchen was left spic and span !! Great night celebrating my husband!
I hosted a coworker team dinner in Lewes and Chef Julie was amazing! The food was exactly what we had ordered and tasted amazing! The olive oil cake with orange whipped cream was to die for! Chef Julie was very communicative throughout the entire booking process, punctual and left the kitchen cleaner than when she arrived! Absolutely would recommend Chef Julie!
I cannot begin to express how fantastic our dinner event was with Chef Julie! We had a vision of what we wanted, and Julie helped it come to life with the perfect menu. She gave great recommendations, with flexibility to provide a range of options to our guests. Communication with her was a breeze, and made the process simple from the beginning. But the best part was how incredible the food was!!! Our event went off perfectly, and before we realized it, the kitchen was clean without even lifting a finger. From start to finish, everything was easy, delicious and worry free! Thank you Chef Julie and Shaun! We can’t wait to host another event in the future!
We loved Chef Julie Biggs for our bachelorette party private dinner.
She was friendly, efficient and the food was amazing!
The meal they prepared was delicious. We had an outdoor party for 35 and everyone enjoyed every bite. Would highly recommend Julie for any event if you need an outstanding chef!!!
Chef Julie is the best!!! She made our mother’s surprise 90th birthday celebration in Bethany Beach an extra special evening with her incredible cooking.
From planning our meal, answering questions and making suggestions,
Julie was extremely prompt, professional, communicative, knowledgable and most importantly fun to work with. We had the Mediterranean Mezze cuisine which far exceeded our expectations.
Absolutely delicious!!
We highly recommend Julie for any occasion and will be sure to use her again for our next trip to the beach!
We were lucky to have Chef Julie cook for us while we were at Bethany Beach for my mom’s birthday dinner! Chef Julie truly made the occasion unforgettable.
The level of professionalism displayed by Chef Julie was top-notch. She went out of her way to accommodate for certain dietary restrictions and crafted a delicious “Beach House Supper” menu. She put so much thought and creativity into every dish. Not only was the presentation of the food stunning, each course was absolutely delicious.
Chef Julie is super responsive, was a delight to chat with during the initial planning stages, and made the entire evening extra fun, as we got to hangout with her in the kitchen and ask culinary questions. The entire experience was fantastic, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate. We’ll remember this special dinner forever!
Thank you, Chef Julie!! We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a memorable and delicious dining experience. We’ll definitely be reaching out for future events!
She arrived on time and brought all of the necessary elements to prepare a beautiful feast for us. The food was delicious and prepared perfectly. She paid attention to detail and plated our food exquisitely. Our family enjoyed a delicious meal at the beach during vacation. We were able to sit back and relax and enjoy some music and wine while Julie worked her magic. We enjoyed her charcuterie board, a melon, salad with feta cheese, amazing filet mignon, and crabcake, finished with a decadent peach cobbler. Our only complaint lies within ourselves as we ate too much lol. Julie even prepared leftovers for us, and she cleaned the entire kitchen better than when she found it! We would recommend Julie to anyone who enjoys good food and relaxation! We will definitely be using her again next year when we come to the beach!
Chef Julie was super fun and her food was outstanding. We had a fantastic time for the last night of our family trip. Everything was super fresh and delicious – she even knew when to go to the best local fish market for the prime selections. And we didn’t have to do any cleanup! Would highly recommend and look forward to doing again sometime.
Julie is so great – really fun and easy planning process, then fantastic food and overall wonderful dinner. Enthusiastically recommend 🙂
We had a great experience with Chef Julie. She went over and above to create a special meal for a special occasion. Highly recommend!
Chef Julie Biggs was great to work with! Even leading up to the event, Julie was responsive and answered questions on her menu items, along with recommendations and advice.On the day of, Julie arrived promptly (even given the unpredictable beach traffic) and with all the equipment she would need to prepare the meal. Julie prepared the meals promptly and timed the meal perfectly to allow the guests to socialize in between. Of course everything Julie made was absolutely delicious. During the course of the night, Julie was great to talk to and was open to answering any questions during preparation. She also cleaned all of the dinnerware used the night, making the event effortless to host. Overall, we would highly recommend Chef Julie Biggs to anyone looking to hire a private chef. The guests also commented on how easy the process was and would look to do it again in the near future!
Our family matriarch was celebrating her 60th birthday. As the one who regularly hosts family events, we wanted a special dinner for her. Chef Julie offered vegetarian and pescetarian options to develop our 4-course meal. She arrived on time, was the consummate professional, prepared delicious and aesthetically pleasing platters and plates, and left the kitchen spotless. I highly recommend her for your special event.
The experience with Julie was amazing! Leading up to the event, Julie was responsive and answered any questions on menu items, along with providing guidance on how to prepare for the day (which is very limited).
Of course the food Julie made was absolutely delicious. She also was so prepared and brought everything with her. On top of that, Julie arrived exactly on time and the meals were timed perfect to allow us to socialize. In addition, Julie was so sweet and great to talk to. She answered all of our questions while she was preparing.
We would recommend Julie to anyone looking into this service. The guests were also shocked at how simple the process was for the great dinner and said they would be sure to do this again.
Wonderful would definitely do this again. Totally stress free evening. Nothing but positive feedback from our guests.
We had Chef Julie cook for our Bachelorette event consisting of 20 women. Julie was so pleasant to work with prior to the event. She gave me her cell phone number and her communication was excellent prior to the event. She was so helpful with deciding which entrees to choose for a large group of women and she was helpful when some guests cancelled or I needed to make other changes to the reservation. Our food was excellent and the kitchen was spotless when she was finished. I would definitely recommend Julie!
We had Chef Julie over at our weekend rental house in Lewes for an early Mother’s Day dinner. She was so professional and cheerful, and the food exceeded our expectations. We had ordered extra because we were paranoid about not having enough, but we ended up totally stuffed with tons of leftovers! I highly recommend the ceviche, charcuterie board and lamb meatball appetizers.l, but the entire meal was phenomenal. Thank you, Chef!
Chef Julie was so great! Not only is she a great chef, but she is warm and welcoming and a lovely person to be around! 10/10 recommend booking Chef Julie for your next event!
Julie Biggs provided a stellar experience for a 50th Anniversary dinner. A consummate professional, Julie delivered a perfectly timed five course meal. The wine pairings elevated the delicious meal. Julie worked around the challenge of multiple food allergies so that no one was left out of each experience. The food was beyond amazing and the courses came out piping hot at just the right time. Julie served, cleared, cooked, informed us about each course, and made all the dishes disappear all at the same time. When she left, the kitchen was cleaner than when she came in. I cannot recommend her enough and cannot wait to do it again!
We had Chef Julie come to our house to cook for 10 people for my parents’ 50th anniversary dinner and it was beyond amazing. Julie made it such an wonderful and easy experience for all of us. Every course came out hot and delicious at just the right time. Julie was so professional and efficient. I don’t know how she did it, but she prepped, cooked, plated, served, cleared the table, and even cleaned all the dishes (without the dishwasher!) all at the same time all by herself. She left the kitchen cleaner than when she arrived. Truly impressive! And the food portions were huge and all so delicious! Julie even suggested wine pairings for each course which were spot on. I am truly grateful that Julie was able to come to our home and provide my parents and our family with such a special and memorable (and delicious) experience on such a special occasion. I wish I could give Chef Julie more stars! Highly recommend!
Julie was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her communication was phenomenal from the start and she even helped me develop the menu to match some wines we were tasting that evening! She provided lots of options and was careful to check in about any dietary restrictions and food allergies. Onsite she worked quickly and effectively and was always communicating with me about when the next course would be ready! Her and Kathy were excellent at serving and describing each dish to our guests! Huge bonus was that they left our kitchen spotless upon departure! We are so thankful for them; so I could relax and enjoy the evening with our guests!
Thank you so much Julie! It was great to have time with the family before the start of our busy wedding weekend. The food was fantastic, with enough left over to nibble on throughout the busy weekend!
I would definitely use her again!
Julie was great. She showed up on time with our drop-off breakfast. It was perfect for the bride and her bridesmaids while getting ready for the wedding.
Thanks for a great start to the day!
I cannot say enough about how good our experience was with Julie. THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC! She was on time, and everything was ready to go. I think we had more people show up than we had anticipated, but we never ran out of food. I would definitely use her again!
Thoroughly enjoyed having Chef Julie Biggs prepare an incredible dinner during our girls weekend at a beach house on Isle of Palms! The food was excellent – flavorful, fresh, and healthy, and Julie was wonderful – friendly, personable, and accommodating (one woman in our group had severe allergies and Julie worked with her to ensure that her meal was safe). Her communication was great, she arrived on time, worked quickly, engaged in conversation easily, and left the kitchen spotless! It was such a wonderful experience – a relaxing and stress free way for our group to enjoy the house and spend quality time with each other – so much better than going to a restaurant! Thank you, Chef Julie!
We had a wonderful experience with Julie this weekend. She was super communicative prior to our event which made the whole process extremely easy and the food was excellent.
We’ve been vacationing in Isle of Palms for three years and this was the first year our son treated us to this most magnificent experience of Food Fire + Knives. Our chef Julie Biggs was extremely professional and her food was hands down the BEST!! It was truly a magical experience. She made us feel so comfortable like she was cooking for family. This is a must do!!! I highly recommend this company and Julie!
Julie was exceptional. From communication up front to creating a beautiful and delicious dining experience for my sister’s birthday. Highly recommend.
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Chef Julie truly cares about providing the best experience for each individual. Her cooking is amazing: expert & thoughtful with super-fresh ingredients, and unique in that she has a way of pairing ingredients that gives every dish a ‘Chef Julie’ signature. This was an absolute highlight of our trip. I cannot recommend Chef Julie highly enough. Not only is she an extraordinary chef, she is welcoming and kind and patiently answered all of our questions. This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss!
Chef Julie did a fantastic job with our bachelorette party. The food was fantastic, she and her assistant Kathy were so kind and fun to talk to, and the process couldn’t have been easier. Highly recommend booking Chef Julie for all your cooking needs!
Chef Julie was absolutely amazing for our bachelorette party! Throughout the entire process she communicated efficiently and always responded quickly. Not only did she communicate really well, but she was so friendly and it felt like she naturally got along with our group (no awkwardness). Now the food…..it was AMAZING. Her goat cheese and tomato salad was the best I have ever had. I don’t even like goat cheese and I LOVED the goat cheese and salad! The seafood pasta was to die for as well. Overall, I highly recommend Chef Julie for all of your private chef needs!
Where to even begin…our entire experience with Food Fire + Knives has been a pleasure. Their website is very easy to use and their customer service representatives were so helpful when our headcount kept changing. Now to the actual experience – Chef Julie and Cathy were so delightful. They did EVERYTHING – including washing the dishes, cleaning the kitchen, I mean EVERYTHING. There was not a single thing to worry about except how to fit all the food into our bellies. The meal was outstanding. We did the low country appetizer sampler, short rib and pasta appetizer, and cupcakes for dessert. The pimento cheese and crab dips were to die for (and I’m still craving Chef Julie’s bread and butter pickles). The salad and entrees were absolutely delicious. What’s not to like about short ribs that have been slow cooking all day or pasta with shrimp caught that day???? The cupcakes were a perfect sweet treat to end a decadent meal. The ladies were raving about the food and service all night. If you are coming to Charleston, book Chef Julie ASAP for a special night!!!!
Julie was so kind, and the food was delicious! We had a couple allergies that she worked around to make sure everyone had a delicious brunch. Could not recommend her more!
Julie was great! 10/10 would recommend
Julie was amazing, very communicative and the food was incredible. Would highly recommend!
We had scheduled Chef Julie to prepare a birthday dinner for our extended family, but at the last minute we had a family emergency, so although the dinner was not the celebration we hoped for, Julie was able to accommodate us to allow for a more relaxed vibe and provide to-go containers for everything. We had four young kids that were eager to watch what she was doing and she let them join right in and help her taste test. She engaged with them and so the meal felt special to them as well. The food was absolutely delish and we would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Next time we are back we will be calling for her again to redo our celebration! Thanks Julie!
We picked her brand new beach meal menu- wow! We had a chef in our party with us and he loved it all. The private chef experience was super relaxing and well worth it. So glad we did it!
We had the best dinner with chef Julie Biggs in Charleston! She made us a delicious low country boil with big salads on the side! She was so easy to work with and fed all 18 of us easily!
I am so happy we decided to hire Julie to come cook for my bachelorette party! She as very personable, chatting with our group, all while getting the job done. Then of course the show stopper – the food!! Everything she made was phenomenal!! She was very accommodating for multiple dietary restrictions my group had. She brought leftover containers, which was helpful as we were in a rental without them. And she was like a ninja in the kitchen, leaving it cleaner than when she arrived. I would highly recommend booking Julie, as I know I will if we are even in the area again!
We so enjoyed Chef Julie’s Spanish tapas menu for our large family!! I looked at several chefs and menus, and I chose her Spanish tapas menu so it would be a little different and unexpected. Our group of 14 adults all loved it!! It wasn’t too spicy but it had lots of flavor. The chorizo stuffed mushrooms and the apple crisp were huge hits as well!! I highly recommend Chef Julie and her lovely assistant Kathy!!
Incredible, Fantastic, Fabulous, and Delightful. Those words describe Chef Julie and our meal! Chef Julie is an amazing chef and easy to work with. Have never had a personal chef but wanted to give my family a memorable dinner experience and we all kinda feel it was a dream! Food was delicious. Night was so special. Highly recommend Chef Julie and Food , Fire and Knives for a special memory.
Julie prepared a delicious meal for a very special occasion for a relatively large group – 13! Everything went very smoothly, and she was the perfect professional balance between engaging and making us feel comfortable. We all enjoyed the meal immensely (particularly the gumbo with freshly caught monkfish/shellfish)! Thank you, Julie!
Julie came to our rental home and cooked us an amazing dinner! We started with delicious lemonade cocktails and delicious appetizers—we had the southern sampler and the fried green tomatoes. Everything was even better than we were hoping. For dinner she made perfectly cooked duck and scallops, which we all loved. The profiteroles with carmelized bananas were the perfect way to end the meal. We definitely loved this meal so much, and can’t wait to plan another trip so we can plan another meal. Julie made the whole process seamless and it was so fun to spend a night with her and eat her food.
Fantastic dinner for 8 prepared by Chef Julie Biggs at our home for the week at Isle of Palms for my moms 80th birthday celebration. Our appetizers of Pickled Shrimp Deviled eggs & Charcuterie Board that was placed around our living area were absolutely amazing!! She then served Crispy Country Ham Arugula Salad to all guests. The main dish was Pan-Fried Fresh Flounder over shrimp chowder broth, bacon, corn,potatoes. Our seafood negative family had temperature appropriate NY Strip Steaks, a cauliflower/potatoes mash, and haricots. It was all excellent. Julie was quiet, efficient, and attentive chef. Best of all, the kitchen was spotless when she left! She even wiped down the oven and burners!! It was spotless. This is definitely something we will do again on our next trip to Isle of Palms. We will be requesting Julie, of course!!!
Julie and her assistant Kathy did a great job on my parents 40th anniversary dinner for our group of 9. The food was delicious and it was so nice to relax and not worry about cooking or cleaning! She even printed out menus for us on my request at the last minute. Would definitely use her again!
We hired Chef Julie for an intimate birthday dinner. Chef Julie was punctual, professional & personable, not to mention her food was cooked to perfection with the right amount of season and flavor. She did just what she said she would do for us on this evening and we could not have been more pleased with her and her services. We will booking again
After everything we faced, our gathering with Chef Julie and her assistant was a phenomenal experience. The food was beyond delicious, and allowed all of us to laugh, catch up, enjoy the evening without worry. Can’t wait to do it again!
Julie was absolutely amazing! The food was excellent and she was so pleasant to communicate with and have in our home! Do not hesitant to book Julie, you won’t regret it!
Just had the most amazing experience with Chef Julie! She was so kind, attentive and talented. She made my bachelorette party chef experience one for the books! Thank you Julie !!!
Everything went incredibly smooth and the food was delicious, would recommend 10/10
Julie did an incredible job as our private chef for my best friend’s 40th birthday party in Charleston. Not only was the food amazing, Julie was extremely professional and thorough. She helped make the evening so special and I’ll definitely ask her again to cook for us the next time we visit Charleston.
Chef Julie was absolutely amazing and truly made our trip. Not only was the food absolutely amazing but she was so efficient and helped us stick to our time schedule. I would highly recommend her for any girls trip or bachelorette you’re looking to relax and enjoy an amazing restaurant quality meal with the comforts of being at home.
Julie was absolutely incredible! Super easy to work with and very responsive when planning the dinner. Julie is fun and interactive with the group. We chose the whipped feta dip, kale Caesar salad, and oven roasted chicken. It was outstanding, even boxed up left over for us. I highly recommend Julie and would love to use her again! My group is still talking about how awesome she was and the food!!!
Julie was awesome and her food was delicious! The pickled beat salad was to die for and the shrimp cakes and steak were divine! Her service was tremendous and she was very engaging with beautiful presentation! I’d certainly hire her again at the next opportunity.
A fabulous meal by Chef Julie Biggs is the perfect addition to any bachelorette party or vacation.
We hired Julie for our bachelorette party in Charleston and the experience was perfect in every way. Julie was so kind, responsive and helpful leading up to the dinner, doing all the leg work to make sure everything was flawless. She arrived right on time and made sure the evening was so relaxing for all our ladies. The meal Julie made blew us away and was absolutely incredible. If you are looking for a private chef in the Charleston area, look no further than Chef Julie Biggs. I will definitely be giving her a call the next time I visit!
Julie Biggs made our bachelorette party magnificent. To quote the bride to be, she felt like a “princess”. Julie is a class act. And her food is SPECTACULAR. I recommend her to anyone looking for a great private chef experience. Thank you again Julie!
Julie and her team are the best. They gave us a five-star experience from start to finish for my bachelor party and cooked incredible food. They brought such great energy and treated everyone with respect and that southern kindness. Everything was on time and on point. Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone visiting the Charleston area!
I cannot even put into words how good this meal was but I am going to try! The appetizers were so good that we just stopped everything we were doing to huddle around the table and fill our plates until the dishes were empty. And let me tell you, I would’ve eaten the whipped feta on just about anything. Then we moved on to dinner where in addition to a delicious soup and salad, Julie served us truffle mashed potatoes. That’s right: Truffle. Mashed. Potatoes. And that’s not all! We ended the night with the most incredible chocolate caramel tart …and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still think about it sometimes. On top of how unbelievably delicious the food was, Julie was also incredibly easy to work with, on time, friendly, clean, and just an overall, wonderful person. Do yourself a favor and book Julie today! She’s great, her food is great, and you’ll be so happy with your choice!
Julie was the absolute best! Her food is incredible and she was so nice about accommodating the dietary restrictions of the group. We can’t wait to come back to Charleston and book with her again!
This was such a fun and delicious experience! Julie was such a delight!
Very personable and professional, and made our evening celebrating my husband’s 40th birthday so wonderful! The Braised short rib, shrimp bisque, and butternut bacon salad were a hit amongst all our guests! The menu was perfect and you would have never known someone cooked in our kitchen! We will definitely be contacting Julie again for future events!
Julie is awesome! We asked for her to come up with the menu just asked for seafood – she blew it out of the water! It was a surprise for my husband and he has called everyone he knows today to brag about his dinner! Julie is incredibly artistic in the kitchen. Our dishes were beautiful and delicious. A bonus was getting to know Julie while she cooked and I can’t tell which was better – the food or the conversation! All around I would say 6 out of 5 stars!!
Julie Biggs was an outstanding chef for our special evening. We we’re talking about the food the next day even. I highly recommend her for your future special occasions. We will be getting Julie to cook again. Thanks!!
Julie was pleasant, professional and a wonderful chef. The oyster stew was delicious and brought back childhood memories for my husband. The seafood pot pie was a new experience for us all and chock full of seafood. All in all it was a wonderful night.
Family dinner
We decided to do something different when our children were in town for the holidays, so we had Julie come to our home to prepare a meal. Dinner was great. Julie was very pleasant and answered our questions. Nice way to have a great meal and not be distracted by all of the preparation activity.
Had Julie cater breakfast for group of clients in town. Menu was fantastic, service amazing. Julie was super organized in thinking about everything, prompt, flexible, very accommodating. We’ll be using her again in the future!
Stayed in Kiawah this weekend and the weather was not great so we decided to try having a personal chef cook us dinner in the home we were staying with friends. This was our first experience doing this and we would highly recommend it. To start, booking on the website was so easy! We were lucky that Chef Julie was available and had great menu choices and great reviews. After we booked, she called and we talked through the menu we had chosen and logistics. I had to add a few things but chatting on the website was also easy and fast. Chef Julie arrived on time and was so professional and personable. It felt like having a friend cook you a 5 course gourmet dinner. The food was amazing and so much that we had leftovers the next day that were just as yummy! If you want a wonderful, unique experience with delicious food prepared by an experienced, talented, friendly chef book with Chef Julie Biggs!! You’ll be so happy that you did!
Julie went above and beyond to make our meal one to remember! All the food was SUPERB and people were going back for seconds (and thirds!). She was prompt and professional. An added bonus, she packed up leftovers for us and we couldn’t resist eating them throughout the weekend. I would recommend Julie to any and everyone! Don’t miss out on having her fabulous food!!
Julie was great. We had an adult weekend at the beach and we had her cook for us one night. Everyone enjoyed her food and conversation. Her preparation and cooking made the night roll perfectly. She came in and setup for the appetizers right away. Once she got us going on the apps, she started the salads and and main course. We had the gumbo (best I ever had), steak (reverse sear, wow) and fresh grouper (like swimming in the ocean earlier in the day, fresh). It was hard to pick my favorite, but the grouper stood out to me. We were stuffed, she gives you plenty of food. The dessert was also amazing, even on a full belly. I can’t recommend Julie enough. She was the best.
Make plans with Julie ONLY of you love eating tasty food.
Julie was prompt, professional, and an excellent cook! Would book her over and over again for a home-cooked brunch. Truly a wonderful meal.
Thank you to Chef Julie for such a memorable and amazing meal! The love, soul, and energy that she puts into her food shines through in every way. We enjoyed and savored every bite of our birthday celebration dinner. Everything about her “It’s Fall, Y’all!” menu was perfect and delicious.
Thank you Chef Julie for your hospitality, top level service, culinary knowledge, and professionalism. You made us feel right at home even though we were away in another place!
We had the best experience with Julie on a night in during a bachelorette trip! She was so awesome. We had the Shrimp Purloo and it was scrumptious! We ate the leftovers for the rest of the weekend. Julie was so friendly and very professional and made this experience so fun for us and the bride to be!
We had Chef Julie Biggs cook for our Bachelorette evening in Charleston/Folly Beach and it was AMAZING! Her food was GREAT, she was super down to earth, and we all were wanting more! I will be in the area again and can’t wait to book with her then as well! 🙂 Apps: Fried Green Tomatoes and Shrimp & Sweet Corn Cakes. Entrees: Shrimp & Grits and NY Blackened Steak Strip.
Julie was a pleasure to work with, from start to finish! She was flexible and so helpful with choosing my menu! She brought brunch to us in our hotel as the end to my sister’s 40th birthday weekend and it was the perfect treat to send everyone home! I’ll be calling her again!
