Rashaad prepared a delicious meal. Everything that he cooked was finger licking good! He was an awesome entertainer as well. Rashaad cooks with love, you can tell through his food! We’d definitely book again!

Loved every minute of this experience

This was such an amazing experience. Everything was amazing. Chef held great conversation, arrived on time, and cleaned up after himself. I would definitely book again.

Our dinner with Chef Rashaad was wonderful! The food was delicious and he was very friendly and interesting to talk to. Recommend for a fun activity for group trips!

Chef was amazing! the food was good and his energy was great.. he was a great host as he made my past feel welcomed. he butlered us during the course of the day as we got brunch and dinner served and he blended well with my family! can't eat to fly to atl and do it with him again! I loved it and it was my 40th burfday. He made it perfect!

He’s on time very silly and very organized..He”s a very good listener..He was very professional..

Everything was delicious! Everything felt very upscale. The chef himself is full of wisdom and personality. We had a great time. 10/10, would definitely recommend.

I had the pleasure of having Chef Rashaad cook breakfast for my mom and me, and it was a fantastic experience! He was personable and took the time to accommodate my mom’s dietary restrictions, ensuring we both enjoyed our meal. The food was delicious, and I truly appreciated the great conversation we had during breakfast. Plus, he cleaned up afterwards, leaving our kitchen spotless. I highly recommend Chef Rashaad for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience at home. Thank you, Chef Rashaad, for a wonderful morning!

Chef Rashard absolutely knocked it out of the park! The brunch was a symphony of flavors, each dish a masterpiece of culinary artistry. But the real treat was Rashard himself – his wit is as sharp as his knife skills, turning the dining experience into a hilarious comedy show. It was like having brunch at a stand-up club, but with gourmet food instead of punchlines! Thank you, Rashard, for an unforgettable experience.

I really didn't know what to expect. But the entire experience was wonderful. Chef Rashaard really made everything wonderful and personable. The meal was delicious I mean every dish was perfect. Communication was great from beginning to end. If you're ever in need of a private chef please consider the services from Take a Chef. Will definitely be hiring them again.

Rashaad really killed it with not only his food, but his overall personality and vibe. I booked him for a proposal dinner and he was not only an excellent chef but someone gave some great advice. I really helped out with getting things set up. I highly recommend booking him for literally anything and I will be using his services again in the future.

Chef Rashaad was friendly, funny and made our experience worthwhile. The food was amazing and we had great laughs. Setup and cleanup was a breeze and there were leftovers. This is a one of a kind experience that I wish I could do more! Thanks Rashaad!

IF YOU ARE READING THIS….DO IT!!! Chef Rashaad was more than worth it. My first thoughts were that it was a little pricey….however once I actually experienced him it was amazing! This man DID NOT MISS. Every single course was PERFECT. The energy was unmatched. And he cleaned up after!? I’m telling you…book it. It’s worth the money.

We genuinely enjoyed having Rashad and learning from him. We loved watching him perform his craft--and he is talented! The food was beautiful, thoughtful, and delicious.

Chef Rashad was great! He showed up early and ready to get started. He was very funny and his food was AMAZING!!! Book him ASAP! Everyone enjoyed themselves and he handled everything we threw at him (diet restrictions- vegans and pescatarians) with no issue.

A very fun experience. Rashaad was personable and an excellent Chef. A+ from beginning to end.

This was not only the best Airbnb recommended experience, but the most interactive and truly person centered experience that has been suggested. Food is something people often come together over, and this Chef ensures that you feel comfortable enough to discuss everything you would over the “typical” family meal, but without the stress associated with cooking and cleaning. He was engaging, added to conversations being had, brought forth valuable stories, insight and pure fun and laughter that may not have been had otherwise. I strongly recommend this experience to everyone!

Highly recommend for a girls trip or special event. The food was amazing and set up way better than expected!

I was kind of worried things wouldn’t be as great! Our initial contact was a little vague. I assumed he’d be this boring chef and cooking bland food. However, that was absolutely not the case. From the food to his charming personality, it was all A1!! He even catered to my personal preferences. It was so cool to have someone else cook for my husband and I. Why? Because the food was great; and the vibe was nice! I’m trying to think of a reason to hire Chef Rashaad right now! He was prompt and cleaned up behind himself. Thank you Rashaad for making it easy on me and cooking a special dinner for my husband’s birthday!

Chef Rashaad is a terrific chef and as good of an entertainer. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and dinner was fantastic. The blueberry sauce with the salmon was a favorite. Would recommend Rashaad to anyone in the Atlanta area!
