Guest impressions
Chef Chris uses my commercial kitchen; he always communicates and executes professionally and punctually. Chef Chris is direct, diligent, and open to constructive conversations.

Last summer, I engaged Chef Chris to shop, prepare, and serve a seated dinner for twelve celebrating my husband’s birthday at our house on The Greenbrier Resort Property. Though our dining room is spacious, our kitchen is relatively compact. However, we were all impressed that each course was beautifully presented and arrived in perfect timing, which showcases his organizational and quick-thinking skills.

We were thrilled with the exceptional service and delicious menu provided by Chef Chris at this year’s office Christmas party. Every detail—from presentation to flavor—was handled with professionalism and creativity, making the event truly memorable for our entire team. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their next event with an outstanding food experience.
