Personal Chef

We are exploring the possibility of having a personal chef come in our condo for a day to prepare meals and a cocktail or two. We received a quote from Epicurean Chef Services and are weighing our options. Is there any other similar service worth checking? We are four adults looking to make good use of our condo's rooftop terrace.

Home ChiliVerde (I don't know why the link says "home", but click on it, it works )

Tona is a great young chef and someone you will love. We had a group cooking lesson with him and had a great time along with a great meal.

Tona has cooked for the Thursday wine tasting dinner at Off The Vine, and he is really a good chef. Very nice guy, too.

I don't know all the ins and outs of people's businesses, but I believe that although Susan has her own company now, she still provides the catering for Latido's clients as well.

Hi GG,

Care to share any of your findings on the personal chef? We're staying at the el taj and want a couple of catered dinners. Six adults, roof top terrace w/outdoor kitchen.
