Food Fire + Knives Reviews 

Julia is an amazing chef and a wonderful individual ❤️

Chef Simmy just prepared a delicious dinner for our bachelorette party. The Tuna was insane, and all of the other courses were amazing. Would 100% book her again!

Chef Joe did a fantastic job for a guys’ weekend group of 12 people. It was a fantastic meal that was varied and delicious. I highly recommend using him and his awesome assistant (his wife)!

Chef Joe and Jamie were fantastic we had them cook 3 lunches and 3 dinner for our extended family (from 2 to 80 years old) as a 70th birthday gift. They were easily able to make gluten free accommodations for every meal including making their INCREDIBLE chicken tenders and biscuits gluten free, on top of a gluten full batch for the rest of us. There was no greater gift for my mom then 6 meals she didn’t have to touch cooking or cleanup made by caring hands. We look forward to using them again…. Did I mention every meal was super yummy!

My husband and I had Chef Julia Wilson cook for us for our second wedding anniversary recently. She came prepared, communicated well ahead of time to build the menu with me, came with a vibrant personality and made us delicious food. We especially loved how she made everything dairy free for me & had a multi-cultural food background. We would definitly work with her again in the future!

A group of 8 came into town with such different tastes, likes and allergies. Chef Patrick & Megan accommodated everyone!! Their cooking was AMAZING! To say everything was delicious, is a complete understatement!!! Hire them and you won’t be disappointed!!!

Food was absolutely amazing and the chefs were so personable. Such a fun and unique experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, even better company. They seamlessly dealt with shenanigans of a large group of moms on their book club retreat. This couple is top notch. I plan to utilize them again for family vacations.

What an incredible experience! Everything from the appetizers to dinner and dessert was absolutely delicious. We truly enjoyed every dish they served, and the entire team was so friendly and welcoming. You could tell how much care went into both the food and the experience. Highly recommend and would absolutely use them again!

Chef Joe made our weekend exceptional! He was prompt, professional, and handled 12 rowdy women for an entire weekend with ease. His food was delicious and let us relax without having to worry about who was cooking or cleaning or what the next meal was going to be. Highly recommend!

Chef Joe was a dream! Arrived promptly, worked with us to accommodate tastes and allergies, and created a fun and lighthearted atmosphere; perfect for our event!

Chef Joe was awesome! Food was excellent and he was very courteous. He was able to adjust based on our group’s needs. Wonderful experience!

Chef Joe was A++, a recipe for success. He was prompt, accommodated us on timing for a few meals, and most importantly made us some super delicious food!! He also put up with 12 ladies worth of shenanigans :) thanks much chef joe!!

The BEST decision my wife made was to have a Chef make us a meal, but a close second decision was choosing Patrick and Meagan as our Chef team. The food was exceptional! But the added bonus was their fun personalities that created such an enjoyable experience! We really think of them as “family” and look forward to another opportunity to have them create another masterpiece dinner!

WOW is a perfect way to say how wonderful tonight’s dinner experience was for our family of 6. We rented a home on Tybee Island and wanted to enjoy a steak dinner and Chef Patrick and his sous chef Meagan delivered exactly what we wanted. We had homemade potato skins to start then Filet with whipped potatoes ,asparagus. Caesar salad and dessert was flourless chocolate torte. It was casual dining and they brought everything and cleaned up after. Exactly what you want for your vacation. Thank you again and be sure to ask for Chef Patrick he and Meagan were the BEST!

Chef Saskia was amazing. From the communication while planning the menu to her professionalism throughout the dinner, we are so impressed with the entire experience. We look forward engaging a lovely dinner with her again. The food was amazing and the evening was magical.

Chef Steph Tuttle was phenomenal!!! Made our birthday celebration super special and food was 10/10 :-) :-)

Jared was amazing to work with! He drove to Galena, IL for a girls birthday weekend, which is not an easy drive as you get closer. When deciding on the menu, he considered allergies and the audience, and made sure he delivered a delicious meal to all. He had some great stories and was very personable! Would definitely work with him again!

The entire experience was over the top (in a great way). Chef Jackson exceeded all expectations and provided wonderful dinner conversation while prepping and cooking. Loved it to much we decided to book him again for our friends retirement dinner. Highly recommend and you'll be blown away by the food & service
