Menu: The Celebration Table

What an incredible experience. We are very very impressed with Brittiney and Food, Fire, & Knives. She was on time, professional, friendly, and fun. We've never hired a private chef before, and we couldn't imagine it being any better. The food was absolutely amazing. I will be craving that short rib for a long time, but all 5 courses were perfect. We wouldn't change a thing. Thanks so much Brittiney!!!

Chef Greg was an important part of the celebration for my father's 95th birthday BQ and family reunion. He was warm and friendly and a non-stop hardworking griller for 56 people in a 2-hour period. We are all thankful for Chef Greg.

STANDING OVATION! 👏 Chef Brittiney knocked it out of the park! The food was absolutely delicious! She was personable, engaging, took the time to explain each dish and even shared some personal stories of why and how she prepared each course. We felt like we were in a five star restaurant, with the Chef taking the time to come to our table and personally introduce each course! We had a wonderful time! Thank you, Chef Brittiney for making our evening a FABULOUS and MEMORABLE occasion that we will not soon forget!

Menu: 4 Course Chefs Table

Definitely recommend Chef Benjamin! He was easy to coordinate with and arrived promptly. It felt very comfortable having him in our home as we wrangled all the kids to go to bed before dinner. The food was DELICIOUS - everything lived up to expectation and it made for a very special evening while on vacation with friends. Having a foodie experience at our Joshua Tree rental home was everything we'd hoped for!

Menu: Mediterranean, Please

Chef Emily was absolutely amazing! She prepared a birthday dinner for 20 guests, and every dish was outstanding, with truly exquisite flavors! What impressed me most was that her assistant canceled at the last minute, and Emily handled everything herself without missing a beat. She was incredibly organized, efficient, and professional, and left my kitchen absolutely spotless! Her talent and dedication are exceptional. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Menu: Lets give 'em something to Taco bout!

Chef Kevan was fantastic. Communication was top notch prior to the event. He showed up on time, made a fantastic taco bar with all of the fixings, plus a tasty salad and yummy churros. My whole group raved about the food and I would not hesitate to hire him again. And, he and his wife left my kitchen spotless!

Menu: Steakhouse

Chef Michael helped me curate a delicious fall menu for a dinner party at my home. We started with a pomegranate lemonade mocktail infused with rosemary (as our guests do not consume alcohol) paired with bruschetta appetizer followed by butternut squash soup topped with pumpkin seeds and creme fraiche then entree of Filet mignon & scallops cooked to perfection. The bread pudding desert with butterscotch chips topped with vanilla bean icecream and sprig of mint was heavenly. Michael and Jenna were on time, professional and warm, effecient, and catered to our every need. I look foward to future endeavors with Chef Michael and will not hesitate to refer him to family and friends.

Menu: Girl's Night In The Mountains

We had Chef Jackson come to our cabin in Blue Ridge for a private dinner celebrating my mom’s birthday, and it was such a wonderful experience! He worked with us ahead of time to create the perfect menu, and everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully plated. The entire evening felt so special, and it was so nice to relax, enjoy our time together, and not have to worry about cooking or cleaning up. Chef Jackson was great to work with from start to finish, and I would absolutely recommend him for any special occasion or group dinner!
