Menu: Its Your Favorite Holiday: Happy Birthday!!
The food was way better than we expected! Restaurant quality, in the comfort of our home. We have very picky eaters, kids and adults, and there were no complaints. Just clean plates. We decided to get a chef for my mom’s 70th birthday and it made the celebration so much better. Chef Simmy was very professional and very personable. Overall, we were very happy and would definitely do it again!

Chef Simmy cooked our group an amazing meal for my mother in laws 75th Birthday. From the chicken lollipops (that my daughter dubbed “gucci chicken”) to the surf & turf and the dessert, everything was amazing from start to finish. Couldn’t say enough great things about Chef Simmi!
