Chef Kevin

Chef Kevin is an absolute culinary genius! My experience with him as our private Chef for a surprise ladies dinner was nothing short of extraordinary. From the first bite to the last, each dish was bursting with exceptional flavors that left us craving more. What truly set Kevin apart was his passion for his craft and his willingness to share insights about the ingredients and preparation techniques, making us appreciate the freshness and quality of every dish even more. Not only did he impress us with his culinary skills; Kevin brought an infectious sense of humor and kindness that made the evening truly unforgettable. We found ourselves not only savoring every bite but also cherishing every moment of laughter and connection. The only downside? Was not having Kevin with us for the entire week! If you're looking for a private chef who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations, look no further than Kevin!

We had the most amazing dinner with Kevin in Topsail Beach, NC. We arranged a dinner for 10 and it was over the top! The Cobb Salad with his own procured bacon was just for starters. Then the Korean Pork Belly and Crab cakes were still being talked about 2 days later. The whole meal was incredible and highly recommend chef Kevin!

This was an amazing experience, from the conversation to the sublime food. Chef Kevin Vermilyea adds a personal touch to every course, using his own home-grown herbs to fresh lemons from his own garden. He was engaging and we soon realized, from our old stomping grounds in New York. This was for my father’s 96th birthday. It was so much better to enjoy Michelin Star cooking in the comfort of our own home. We so appreciate all that he brought to this wonderful experience. Thank you!

We did this for a bachelorette party and it was so much better than going out to dinner somewhere. Kevin’s food was amazing and we had great conversation. Food was better than any restaurants we would have chosen, clearly quality ingredients and an experienced chef.

I'm not normally "review guy", but i have to spread the word on how amazing of a time our group had with Chef Kevin this past weekend. Chef Kevin and team took care of our group of 14 with ease, the food was absolutely amazing, the dinner was timely and efficient, and the hospitality was top notch. Our group particularly enjoyed chatting with Chef before, during, and after the dinner about many topics including the menu itself, sourcing ingredients, and the processes involved in the prepping of the food. I would heavily recommend Chef Kevin for any type of function, and when the time arises, we will be using his services again. Cheers, Alan Marks

We had the pleasure of indulging in a culinary experience that can only be described as outstanding. From start to finish, every aspect of the evening was a testament to the artistry and passion that Chef Kevin brings to his craft.

We had Chef Kevin come for a birthday celebration. His food was amazing and made more special with his homegrown herbs and vegetables. I highly recommend booking him when you are in Wilmington! Thanks, Kevin!

This experience was a major highlight of our weekend! Our meal was exceptional, better than we could have imagined. Chef Kevin and his Sous Chef James were so friendly and professional. With there being 11 of us on this bachelorette trip, Chef Kevin did an amazing job at accommodating the groups food allergies and preferences. We felt well taken care of! I highly suggest Chef Kevin to anyone looking for a private chef experience.

Chef Kevin and staff went above and beyond to make sure all were happy and accommodated all dietary needs. The food was delicious. Chef Kevin grew his own herbs and made everything fresh. Very personable and would highly recommend him. We will be using his services again.

Chef Kevin prepared a fabulous meal for my parents in the North Myrtle Beach area. He was professional yet personable, and prepared everything from scratch - seared scallops and gnocchi, Caesar salad, filet mignon, and creme brulee. My parents and I highly recommend Chef Kevin!

Kevin is very professional and accommodating when it comes to your dining needs. He is also very easy to communicate with. I would definitely use him again.

I reached out to Food Fire & Knives to have at my 30th birthday and Kevin did an amazing job! Not only was the food delicious but all the girls talked about how professional and nice he was. Would definitely recommend and use again. We had a great time!
