Chef Brandon

If you are looking for an at home chef for your next party, look no further than Chef Brandon! Chef Brandon cooked for my group of 14 for two back to back evenings as part of a bachelorette weekend. We had several different allergies and dietary restrictions and Brandon worked diligently to ensure the menu was safe for all to eat; this included a gluten allergy which Brandon graciously accommodated for in his Italian menu by making gluten free eggplant parm, pasta, meatballs, and even hand rolled gluten free cannolis. Not only is Brandon a phenomenal chef, but he is respectful, courteous, and left the kitchen cleaner than he found it. All 14 girls said our 2 meals with Brandon (Maine Meets Italy and Land and Sea) were some of the best they have ever had. Thank you Brandon!

We had several different allergies and dietary restrictions and Brandon worked diligently to ensure the menu was safe for all to eat; this included a gluten allergy which Brandon graciously accommodated for in his Land and Sea menu by making a charred broccoli salad with croutons on the side and gluten free shrimp fritters. If you are choosing between main courses, the salmon is to die for!! Not only is Brandon a phenomenal chef, but he is respectful, courteous, and left the kitchen cleaner than he found it.

We celebrated my son’s 30th birthday with an outstanding dinner cooked by Brandon Simpson. The dinner was delicious, creative, plates beautiful, portions generous, dinner was served exactly on time and my kitchen was left cleaner than when he arrived. I have never used this type of service before and I would highly recommend and especially Brandon.

Chef Brandon was amazing! Before the dinner he was in communication to coordinate everything that would be needed for the night of. He was able to work around our groups allergies/dietary restrictions without issue. The dinner itself was incredible, very well preparade. We had enough for lefts overs (that he packaged for us). When he was done he cleaned the kitchen and dishes. Chef Brandon was friendly and professional throughout the entire experience. Would work with again without hesitation!

There simply aren’t enough stars to add to this review, the meal and experience from Chef Brandon was exceptional. Everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and harmonized. The wedge salad was an elevated version of a classic: duck, lamb and salmon entrees were all home run dishes with perfect sides to match; and the crème brûlée was a creamy, rich, and perfect finale to an incredible meal. As a bonus, he left an immaculately clean kitchen afterwards. could not recommend Chef Brandon enough!

My wife and I received a gift certificate for Food Fire and Knives for Christmas. From the moment I first reached out, Brandon was fantastic. He responded quickly to my message, and customized a great menu. He arrived on time, was very professional, and in 14 years living in our house, this was the best meal our kitchen has ever seen. The food was very fresh, including things like tuna crudo, artfully and deliciously prepared, and at the end of the meal the kitchen and table were spotless. We could not have been more impressed.

My friends and I recently had Chef Brandon Simpson cook Downeast Traditions: Classic Maine Fare. The meal we chose was lobster risotto. He was professional, on time, prepped, served and cleaned everything. He was fun to be around and engaged in conversation with us. The experience was a blast, having a delicious meal in the comfort of your own home and we are looking forward to having him back again!

Brandon was responsive, prompt, and super professional. Also made a great impression, with his willingness to meet me halfway on some menu choices. Overall highly recommend the food and the chef, amazing experience. My girlfriend loved it and the food was delicious, also great portions as well. Would definitely hire again.

My group had a great experience with Chef Brandon. He was very easy to communicate with leading up to our dinner and continued his professionalism throughout our meal. Not only did our salad, appetizer and main dish taste amazing but the presentation was beautiful as well. Chef Brandon took over the kitchen the minute he walked in the door and left it spotless by the end of the night. I would recommend his services to anyone!

Chef Brandon Simpson was excellent all of the way through the process - he was very communicative, flexible and easy to work with leading up to the event, he prepared an excellent meal for 8 adults (exceeded expectations), and left the kitchen impeccably clean upon his departure.

Chef Brandon provided an unforgettable culinary experience and surpassed our expectations in every way!
