Chef Scipio is THE best chef! Period. He is willing to travel, he cleans up, and is accommodating. He is personable and professional. He is dedicated to his art. Every dish, every course is delectable! Heather only Chef I'll ever use for all of my culinary needs.

I communicated to Chef Carlos my desire to incorporate New Orleans flavor into my menu. He was very responsive and he did an outstanding job!!!! Everyone was pleased.

Chef Scipio was amazing. This was the first time I had ever retained a private chef. He was easy to work with in planning the menu and the food was absolutely delicious. Everyone at the dinner raved about the quality and taste of the food. I would highly recommend him to anyone planning on using a private chef. Daniel Nodurft, Harahan, LA

He was very accommodating., fun and very professional. The food was amazing. We wanted to take him home with us

We had an amazing time with Chef Carlos! He was very communicative and punctual, arriving on time and bringing all the supplies he needed with him. He handled everything - from the prep to the plating to helping put candles in our dessert for my friend's birthday (he even helped sing to her!). The food was DELICIOUS - truly, we're all still dreaming about the food. Chef Carlos also took the time to take photos and videos of the cooking process, which he sent me the day after as keepsake memories. Don't hesitate to book his services! He made our trip to NOLA extra special. Thank you, Chef!

Chef Carlos was great. He made the trip despite the tough weather with rain and flooding that day. He was very punctual and professional. He made three fantastic Creole/Cajun dishes. There were nine of us and every single person loved the food and the experience. Well done, Chef Carlos.

Chef Carlos was an absolute delight for our Bachelorette Party. His menu was flexible and offered various options. He made a hot honey tofu that our group was talking about for days. He was friendly, professional, and engaging, even participating in some of the games we brought. Couldn't be happier!

Chef Carlos was an amazing find and our group was blown away by his food! He was friendly and gave us all plenty of time to get ready between dishes. Highly recommend Chef Carlos for any of your meals!!!
