Wow! Jeff, that was such an amazing review! Thanks so much for leaving it, we couldn't have said it better ourselves. I am so glad to hear Chef Amanda was able to provide you all with a delicious, stress-free evening! I've spoken to Chef Amanda, and she had even more great things to say about you and your party! I know that planning can often end up being a chore of it's own, and it makes me even more happy that things went simply and smoothly in that regard. Whenever you and Brian decide it's time to treat yourselves again, I look forward to setting up another magical evening! Cheers, Jake.
An exceptional meal including a tray of cheeses and several course meal. My friends were very impressed as Amanda made a fabulous meal and cleaned up. We literally had to do nothing except spend time with our friends
Chef Amanda Miller came to our home and prepared a gourmet dinner meant for royalty! She was engaging, personal, excited, and, of course, talented. We had an amazing dinner which would rival the finest restaurants in Dallas. She made her way around our kitchen like it was her own and cleaned everything up afterward. Thank you to my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson for giving me an over the top DaKine 60th birthday present! I will always remember the experience!
