We used Chef Matthew for my bachelor party and he was phenomenal. His Mexican food was so fire, especially his elote street corn cups that we did for appetizers. His carne asada and al pastor tacos were also super good which had some avocado pico and habanero pineapple pico that really made them perfect. The tres leches cake cups were also great. He was super cool and chatted with us while he cooked and over all was just an awesome experience that only cost $700 for 11 hungry guys.

I hosted a birthday dinner for my husband, and Matthew was the perfect chef for the occasion. From the very start, he was incredibly responsive and helped create a personalized menu based on my husband’s favorite foods. He was easy to communicate with, professional, and a pleasure to have in our home. The meal he prepared was absolutely outstanding. One of the best we’ve ever had! I couldn’t recommend Matthew highly enough.

Shelby C.

Chef Matthew and his lovely wife Jenna cooked dinner for us for a girl’s weekend. The food was absolutely delicious, and Matt and Jenna were truly lovely. The timing of the meal was impeccable. The menu had blackberry and mozzarella skewers, spicy shrimp skewers, and phyllo dough jalapeño purses. The mains were parmesan crusted chicken, short ribs, green beans, and potatoes. The warm brownies for dessert were a perfect end to a delicious and fun meal. Exceptional value for money. Could not recommend more.

Jordan R.

Hiring this private chef was a fantastic experience! The steak fajitas were a standout—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a true crowd-pleaser. All three courses were delicious, beautifully presented, and tailored to accommodate my groups dietary sensitivities with ease. The chef was approachable, professional, and worked within my budget to create a memorable meal. One friend was so impressed that they’ve already booked the chef for a baby shower. Highly recommend! I am going to look for photos! Will update if any of my girls took some. It looked incredible!!!

Jenna A.

A flawless experience with Matt. From the first interaction to the end of the event, he exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly responsive, creative and thoughtful / every detail was excellent. The food was amazing and I got a huge amount of compliments from our guests. I highly highly recommend.

Matthew prepared an incredible meal and provided an all around wonderful and professional experience for our girls weekend in the mountains! The filets, which were cooked to absolute perfection, were served over savory garlic mashed potatoes which followed the most wonderful candied pecan salad I’ve ever tasted! I wasn’t able to try the app as it was gone before I could get to it! Matthew truly is the real deal and is a 10/10. We can’t wait to hire him for our next event!!!

Jacob G.

Mathew is 5 ⭐️ hands down! To start, the menu options are amazing and such great option to choose from! He makes locking in the event so easy, the food he makes is AMAZING and he is so easy to conversate with. My 4 year old loved watching, asking all the questions and Mathew was so nice answering everything and keeping him in the loop. The avocado crab cups, hot honey chicken skewers, pan seared fish and za’atar chicken were out of this world along with the vegetable medley and beer cheddar scalloped potatoes. My 4 year old gave the longest mmmmmms, he loved it all too! You can’t find better than what Mathew delivers. We will most definitely be calling him every year we come back!

Morgan C.

Attended a dinner party tonight and was so impressed by the food and service. Everything tasted delicious and he even overheard me joke that I don’t like seafood and went out of the way to accommodate my plate! Great experience and would definitely recommend. The hot honey chicken appetizer, strawberry salad, and short rib with mashed potatoes were all delicious!

Amanda C.

Matthew did an exceptional job in providing my fiancé and me with Mexican food buffet that both tasted AMAZING and looked beautiful! Every dish was delicious and satisfying.

Matthew and Jenna catered a celebration of life for my wife in late January. I have had a number of comments of the celebration being the nicest one they had ever attended, including the reception done by Matthew and Jenna. The variety and quality of the food was exceptional, as well as the quantity of food. They are the best!

C Humbargar

Matt is a phenomenal chef! We were staying in Colorado and my husband and daughter surprised me for my birthday by having Chef Matt come to our condo and prepare a meal. He was punctual, professional and prepared. He allows you to watch and interact as much as you would like. We woke up the next morning still talking about how good the food was. Taste and presentation were 10 of 10. I would highly recommend!

Angela L.

Booked a last minute event with Chef Matthew and he was Amazing! I was so grateful that he agreed to do the 27th birthday party for my daughter at the last minute, but then he went on to make the experience awesome! He showed up at the time he said he would, he brought everything he needed and he created the most delicious Asian food dinner ever! She was surprised and the food was next level!! Thank you Chef Matt for making the party a huge success! You were fun and personable! The whole family loved Chef Matt!

We had the most incredible experience with our chef! He drove up from Denver to Beaver Creek to cook for our group of five couples and 12 kids under 10, and he absolutely knocked it out of the park.

He prepared an amazing hibachi-inspired dinner along with delicious appetizers, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The kids loved the train whistle to call everyone over when dinner was ready.

Not only was the food fantastic, but he left our kitchen cleaner than when he arrived, which every host can appreciate. Professional, fun, and incredibly talented…we’d hire him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Erin R.

We had a party of 22 in Beaver Creek. 12 of those were kids. Matthew was great to communicate with. He arrived with all the supplies to prep and cook for 22 of us. The hibachi was so good with incredible appetizers. There was PLENTY of food for all of us and all of us (kiddos included) inhaled it! Matthew is personable and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed having him in our home. We all highly recommend!!!
