  • “When we asked Chef Dave to create a menu for 15 people from all over the U.S. for our mom’s birthday weekend, we quickly agreed on Mediterranean. It was the perfect choice. Not only did every person present comment on how amazing the meal was, this lifelong foodie — who lived in Greece for more than two years — found every bite from the first to last to be absolutely delicious! We highly recommend Chef Dave for any event that requires amazing food and for any host who wants a great, personable, and wholly professional chef. Thank you, Chef Dave!” 5 Star- TT

From feta and marinated olives, to the Greek salad and flavored rice with currants and the amazing homemade tzatziki (it was all from scratch!). The chicken souvlaki was flavored perfectly and melted in your mouth. He is the consummate professional and just and an overall great person. I highly recommend him for any party and/or event.” 5 Star- RW
