Zach's performance at my father's retirement/65th birthday celebration was exceptional. He prepared a remarkable meal for 13 guests at a rental home. The attendees continuously praised the scrumptiousness of each course, and the meal became a topic of reminiscing throughout the entire trip.
Our team values Zach's resourcefulness and adaptability as he held meetings with us virtually in the months prior to the occasion. He created an impressive menu with multiple alternatives for each course, and he welcomed our proposals to tailor the menu according to my father's preferences. Our family requested pork from their raised pigs for some of the dishes, and Zach did an impressive job showcasing the meat. We strongly recommend Chef Zach's services, and we would be delighted to hire him again!

Working with Zach was an absolute joy! From his brilliant presentation to the delectable food and his charming demeanor, my dinner party could not have been better. Zach not only kept my guests engaged in conversation, but also provided intricate details about each course while seamlessly preparing the next one. Not only was Zach attentive in filling our drinks, but he even went above and beyond by placing mistakenly left out drinks in the freezer. Additionally, his clean-up was impeccable and he left no trace behind. I am truly grateful for his exceptional service and cannot wait to have him back again. Thank you, Zach! ❤️

Through our communication, Chef Zach has been nothing short of amazing and attentive. Regrettably, I had to cancel the previously scheduled dinner reservation due to my husband's illness. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to working with Chef Zach in the future. His menu is nothing short of amazing and it is unfortunate that we won't be able to experience it. Despite this, his professionalism and innovative approach to menu creation make him highly recommendable.

To commemorate my spouse's birthday, the Chef furnished us with an exceptional 5-course cuisine. His efforts were commendable! The Chef dedicated his time to inquire about our culinary preferences beforehand. Consequently, he devised and brought forth the ideal menu right in our very own kitchen. The entire event truly revived our nostalgia for the enjoyable moments we shared in New York City.
