Everything about the experience was worth it. From the moment we hired Graham to the night of our little party, he was quick to engage and communicate about all the details. We had the best night with him as our chef. He was extremely engaging in personality and had a great sense of humor. We were drawn into the kitchen to watch him in action and share stories and laughs. Our party consisted of 11, and we had some last minute dietary restrictions we found out the day of, and Graham was very accommodating. He was so prepared and professional, and everyone raved about the food. We were busy enjoying the food on the veranda and came inside to find the kitchen absolutely spotless! It was such a treat and we absolutely recommend without hesitation.

Chef Graham was incredible! We were celebrating a bachelorette, and Graham was so engaging and friendly. He was also so easy to work with, making special accommodations as requested. Dinner was beautiful and absolutely delicious!!!

Graham was just wonderful. I could tell he was going to be fun from communicating with him beforehand. He cooked an AMAZING meal and didn’t mind explaining what he was doing and having conversations. Would 10/10 recommend!

We had the best time with Chef Graham!! His food was delicious and he was so fun to have in our home.

10/10 recommend.

We booked Chef Otto for a reunion of our college friends at our house in Charleston, we chose a five course meal from the Simply Southern menu, with she crab soup, beet burrata salad, crab cake, pork chops and the hugenout tort. Otto and his assistant arrived with everything they needed, and served us a delicious meal, everything was wonderful. In addition, Otto took the time to explain each course, and he entertained us with stories from his life and experiences.
I would not hesitate to recommend Chef Otto again, as well as the entire FoodFireKnives experience. It truly provided us with a night to remember!

We used Chef Graham’s services for a bachelorette party and it was absolutely fantastic! From the time of booking Chef Graham was very communicative and open to adjusting the menu to our needs. He was extremely accommodating to those that had allergies and went out of his way to make sure they too had a delicious meal! The food was absolutely delicious and everyone raved about how fantastic it tasted. The presentation of the courses was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious and beautiful meal! Would definitely book again!

Otto was a wonderful chef for our 6 person bachelorette party in Charleston! He was professional, communicated ahead of time, and made our experience memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Otto!

Chef Otto and Dottie were absolutely wonderful! Chef Otto cooked a fabulous dinner for my sister’s bachelorette group. The dinner was delicious. It was very nice and easy communicating and coordinating with Chef Otto. Highly recommend!

Otto – cooked a 3 course meal for our family of 7 while on vacation. We were very happily surprised by how good the food taste and presentation was. We honestly found the food and experience to be better than several of the restaurants we have gone to. We would certainly recommend Otto for a restaurant quality meal at home.

From start to finish Chef Graham made our private dinner the absolute highlight of our bachelorette weekend. I cannot sing his praises enough! He was entertaining, funny, talented and incredibly kind. We had a bit of a rough start to the weekend with the bride ending up in the ER the night before and Chef Graham cooking for us on the last night of our trip made everything worth it. The bride is a foodie so was in heaven! The thoughtful touches he put on each dish elevated them to a whole other level above and beyond even my highest expectations. The food alone was worth 5 stars, but Chef Graham made it more about the meal – he kept us involved, explained the whole process and made it an experience. Thanks for making our weekend one for the books!

Our group had a wonderful time and the food was DELISH!

Chef Graham was the perfect addition to our bachelorette weekend! He cooked an amazing meal and was incredibly fun and accommodating to anything we needed for the night! We could not have asked for better service or for a more comfortable and accommodating atmosphere. He was honestly above and beyond what we could have hoped for in a home chef experience! Just amazing!!!

Chef Graham made our night in of the bachelorette party so special. From booking to clean up, the whole experience was so easy. Food Fire + Knives and Chef Graham would be first on my list to book when we go back to Asheville.

I thought Food Fire and Knives service and ease of planning was to good to be true! The reservation process was so easy and menu selection is amazing. Chef Graham was very personable and was like talking to an old friend. Every dish was cooked to perfection. His Italian wedding soup was so delicious that had to find a recipe. Thank you Chef Graham and FFK for making our anniversary one for the books!

We hired chef Otto for my Mom’s 60th surprise dinner with our family that flew in from Los Angeles. It was AMAZING! The food was outstanding, Otto was so relaxed and easy going with all the chaos of 6 children, and everything was cleaned up and perfect when he left. HIGHLY recommend – this experience was such a treat!

I threw a Bachelorette Party for my sister and her 10 friends. We wanted to stay in one night to have a home cooked meal and be served southern cuisine. Otto did just that! He was on time, professional, cleaned up as he went, and explained each course to us. The meal was fresh with whole food ingredients and did not leave us feeling overly full or sick. He cleaned up perfectly and even ran the dishwasher. The courses were perfectly sized and he was extremely accommodating to 3 of our guests with food allergies. I highly recommend Otto and this menu! Thank you for making my sister’s experience so perfect!

1. We had Otto prepare a lowcountry boil for a bachelorette party in our Airbnb. He was truly incredible! He took the time to teach different techniques to those interested in how he was cooking. He was fun! He made our entire meal a really comfortable experience and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Thank you, Otto!
