Check out the reviews for my team and I.

I am a passionate professional chef with more than 20 years of progressive culinary training, I graduated from culinary school in 2005 and have held just about every position in the kitchen on my way to becoming an Executive Chef. I own my own private chef company, I've helped open restaurants. I have worked for the world's largest and second largest food service companies and 5 star hotels. I have had the privilege of having cooked at events and establishments in which celebrities were in attendance including, former first lady Michelle Obama. Sports stars such as Troy Aikman, Charles Barkley, the 2001 World Series Champion Arizona Diamondbacks, the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants amongst others.

For me, cooking is...

A way to bring people together and open a whole new world, not just in tastes but in cultures and experiences.

I learned to cook at...

As a child in my parent's restaurant, while sharpening my craft in culinary school and everyday I've worked in a kitchen for the past 20+ years.

A cooking secret...

Treating food with respect and learning what it does, you don't force things in the kitchen, you manipulate them.

5 stars!

Fantastic experience and a great person to talk with.

Chef Rodolfo was timely, professional and interesting. Not only was his food incredible, but with 14 of us celebrating my mom’s 60th birthday, he was also entertaining and fit right in with all of us! Would highly recommend him and his brother Caesar!

Chef was great, would highly recommend ????

Chef Rodolfo was truly a gift to our family. He was extremely kind, detail oriented, and most importantly professional. The food prepared was immaculate and he even took the time to help with some last minute requests. I will definitely hire Chef Rodolfo again!

Rodolfo and Team were wonderful. Food was great! So kind and totally prepared.

Exceeded our expectations across the board by a wide margin. Food was incredible, presentation was that of a high end restaurant and the Chef was extremely easy to work with and professional.

Chef was on time, organized, and willing to work with me on the menu. He was hired for a 30th birthday and we have not stopped talking about the queso fundido since! It was truly delicious. I would recommend him to anyone and plan on using him again.

Cesar was amazing! He made me and my girlfriend some of the best food we’ve ever eaten on a very special night for us. He was right on time with everything, super polite and an amazing chef. We will definitely be using these guys again

The food and presentation were excellent.

Thank you Chef Rodolfo. You made Melanie's birthday amazing. The food was incredible. The filet was so tender that the plastic cutlery we were using due to everything being packed up for the move was more than sufficient. The last minute change on the dessert was a hit too. Thanks for leaving the place spotless too. Will definitely use you again in the future

The chef was excellent!! He is a master of his craft and the food was delicious. Best steak we’ve had in a long time.

We are so impressed with the 5 course meal prepared for our party of 10 by Chef Cesar and Rosa. They arrived exactly on time, they were so professional and efficient while preparing the food. The presentation and explanation of each dish was better than the previous. The flavors were incredible, every single person raved about it during and for days after. Cesar and Rosa are wonderful, kind and talented individuals. Thank you, it was everything and more that we could hope for our celebration. The cleanup was spotless. We will definitely be working with them in the future.

Chef Rodolfo's dinner was simply incredible. From the flavors to the impeccable presentation, every dish was a masterpiece. Chef Rodolfo's professionalism shone through in every aspect of the dining experience, making it truly unforgettable for everyone who attended our party.

Chef Cesar was the most incredible addition to our event. Every single moment and meal with him was spectacular. I can truly say our meal with him was the highlight of our trip and it wouldn’t have been the same without him.

Chef was amazing and tailored the experience to our group of 11 ladies. He adjusted things to allergies and sensitivities and the food was absolutely perfect. His dinner was the perfect ending to our girls trip! Also shoutout to his wife, Rosa, who came and assisted!

Chef Caesar was absolutely amazing. He was so sweet and friendly and extremely engaging. He introduced himself, told us a little about his background and then explained all of the courses as they came out. The food was incredible and presentation was perfect. Chef Caesar washed, dried and put away all of the dishes and utensils which we did not expect at all and we thought that was really nice of him. Overall 10/10 experience and will definitely book again!

This was an amazing experience for our family and one we will talk about for a long time. Will definitely do again!

I booked Chef Rodolfo to cook dinner for my Fiancé and his friends during his bachelor party as a surprise. He was easy to coordinate with and the guys were very pleased. My fiancé raved about the food and absolutely loved the experience. Thank you to Chef Rodolfo for a great experience all around!

Chef Caesar and Rosa were an incredible team that arrived early, presented the menu on time and in a beautiful fashion. Chef was kind, funny and very knowledgeable. The dinner was made even more comfortable by their presence. We would definitely do this again!
