Excellence is never accidental
Over 300 five-star Google reviews for Chicago’s highest rated private chef and catering experience.
“We have been using Chef Francis/Vendador for catering various events and occasions over the last two years, and they have exceeded expectations every single time. The level of professionalism, elegance, and consistency they bring to every event is truly exceptional.Chef Francis creates elevated, beautifully executed dishes that always impress our guests — not only in flavor but also in presentation. Every menu feels thoughtful, refined, and perfectly tailored to the occasion.Beyond the incredible food, the service is what truly sets Vendador apart. The staff is polished, attentive, and seamless from start to finish, making every event feel effortless and sophisticated. They even leave the kitchen cleaner than it was.If you are looking for top-tier catering in Chicago, I cannot recommend Chef Francis and Vendador highly enough. They never disappoint.”
“Chef Francis and his team put such a unique thoughtfulness and passion into curating a beautiful luxury dining experience! A true gem of the Chicago food & hospitality scene.”
“The dinner and experience were out of this world. I frequent fine dining establishments several times a month for recreation and work events. Vendador was gifted to me and my wife. Being able to have Michelin star food in the comfort of your own home is amazing. The food was insane, the conversations were super cool, and the experience overall was one that will be extremely hard to top. We did a chef’s table setup and were served at our kitchen island as we watched Chef Francis prepare our courses. 10/10 would recommend!”
“I had the pleasure to attend an event catered and hosted by Chef Francis and his team. To say the least we all left a little in awe. Not only was the food creative and delicious, but the curated experience overall. Erinn was the perfect host, both cocktails and wine pairings were thoughtful and on point (w/NA options) and the team in general were professional but also sincere in their love for the job.I’ve been in hospitality for 25+ years and own a venue, rarely do I enjoy a dining experience from start to finish.”
“Great food can be found in a lot of places. Great technique can be found in a lot of places. Great preparation can be found in a lot of places. Great service and attention to detail can be found in a lot of places….BUT to find someone (or a team) who does all of these in elite fashion, is a rarity beyond real comparison.Chef Francis Pascal and his entire team are nothing shy of elite professionals. Then you add in the variable that they execute these events (because it is far more than just a dinner) on foreign territory (your kitchen or some event space) and it gives you an even higher sense of appreciation for the magic they’re providing.Whether it’s an intimate dinner with family and/or friends, or it’s a special evening meant to celebrate a memorable occasion, you could not leave the food and drinks in better hands. The only regret I have after using Vendador, is that I didn’t know about them sooner.”
“If you’re planning a special occasion and want an experience beyond just going out to dinner, I highly recommend Vendador! The food is delicious, stunning, and makes you feel like you’re dining in a 5-star restaurant built just for you. Chef Francis and team does all the work while you get to enjoy every moment with your guests.”
“Chef Francis crushed it at our 40 person park BBQ. It’s one thing to cater in a kitchen, it’s a whole other skillset to manage an outdoor event with no electricity or infrastructure. Robust setup, spot-on timing, and food so good people went back for more. Flawless service, amazing flavors, and genuine hospitality — can’t wait to book him again!If you’re hesitating at all, you won’t be disappointed with Chef F!”
“Absolute amazing experience!! Francis and team made it so easy, and the food was divine - makes me rethink needing to go to a restaurant again!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“Would give 10 stars if I could. Food is as beautifully presented and as delicious as it appears on Vendador’s website. The team is highly professional and took the time to understand the event and customized it to our preferences. Communication before and after the event were also superb. An amazing service!”
“Perfection. Thats the single word I would use to describe Chef Francis and the curated experience Vendador puts together. Having hired and worked with other private chefs no other chef and private dining experience compares. The attention Chef and his team give each client and event is unsurpassed. Paired with his resume and work experience, trust me when I say that Chef Francis and Vendador are who you want to curate your own private event.”
“If I could give them 10 stars I would. Not only is the food expertly and thoughtfully crafted, it’s absolutely delicious. This dinner is intimate because the chefs who are with you intimately created and prepared it. The service is beyond 5 star, and the team goes above and beyond to make your dinner an experience, not just a meal. I will never forget the night they created for me and my staff - it was unforgettable. I can’t wait to work with Vendador, Chef Francis, Erinn and the entire team again.”
“Well, consider this the 126th 5-star review. Chef Francis and his staff prepared an incredible 5-course meal plus appetizers (AND two cocktails) for us and 7 of our closest friends who were visiting from out of town. Some of our friends were staying in an AirBnb since they had children and Chef Francis and his team had no problem setting up shop in the (actually decently sized) kitchen. They brought EVERYTHING and did EVERYTHING. I think they left the Airbnb kitchen cleaner than when the two 2-year olds had wreaked havoc hours before.The FOOD was outstanding. We loved and appreciated Chef Francis and his staff’s interaction with us. We loved learning about where many of the dishes came from. We had a French-American inspired dinner. The asparagus and caviar was incredible. And the lobster course lives rent free in my brain. There was more, but you might have stopped reading already, so I’ll leave you with this...they left us with some extra ice cream and just today I found my husband with the pint container in front of him with a spoon while finishing his work day. Yes, Vendador is THAT good.”
“A meal by Chef Francis and his team is truly something one-of-a-kind and memorable. I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying the company and talent of Vendador team for more than 5 years now and the experience and food are 10/10 every time. Highly recommend booking he and his team for any private party needs!”
“Who thought you could have a 5 star dining experience in a home? I did last night while dining with friends. Chef Francis Pascal’s food was exceptional, his staff attentive and the ambiance was perfect for the birthday celebration. From the delicious appetizers and inventive cocktails, to the amazing five course dinner, the fresh ingredients were brought together so creatively. Hopefully my next experience with this phenomenal chef will be at my home!”
“The level of thoughtfulness we experienced in our evening of dining with Vendador was unmatched. We were greeted by name, handed a welcome cocktail or mocktail and seating at a communal dining table with friendly people who were so enthusiastic about the experience (which made it even better for us). I have celiac disease and I was well cared for - AND the meal was surprising, flavorful, and comforting all at once. Highly recommend.”
“Chef Francis was a true professional - meticulous with every detail, ensuring my dad’s 70th birthday party celebration was a true success. We worked with their amazing sommelier who helped curate our wines from our cellar, perfectly pairing the wine with the dishes. The menu was unbelievable - where we had fresh carabineros, Kumamoto oysters, and so much more - we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Chef Francis and team for an evening we will cherish forever!”
“I recently gifted my husband a surprise dinner for two with Vendador, and it was truly a unique and AMAZING experience.Chef Francis outdid himself with every dish, combining flavors I would have never thought of in a million years, but aside from the amazing food, to me the best thing was that he took the time to engage with us, chatting with my husband to give him cooking tips, which added a very personal touch to the evening. It’s not an everyday thing to have the possibility to see a chef working his magic right in front of your eyes.The wine pairings were also impeccable, enhancing each course and elevating the entire meal.Alexa, who was assisting Chef Francis, was equally wonderful—attentive, friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed, and explaining the story behind every wine that we were about to taste.The overall experience was exceptional, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough!”
“I cannot speak more highly of Venador. They served us a dinner for 5 to celebrate a friends engagement and not only did they make us feel so special, the food was INCREDIBLE. Chef Francis, Alexa and Erin were professional, fun and gave us just an amazing experience. They catered the menu to our preferences and restrictions, and did everything with such care and attentiveness. I will absolutely book again in the future and would recommend them to anyone.”
“Chef Francis and team did again! This is the second dinner party they have helped me host at my home, this one on the smaller side for a group of 7 women. As the hostess, I didn’t have to lift a finger. The cocktails were amazing and the passed appetizers a great way to start our night. Chef asked during our first meeting if we had anything special that we did as a group. The first thing I thought was that we love to belt out 80’s and 90’s female singers when we all get together. They took that and ran with it! Our menu’s were custom Celine Dion CD cases. It was a nice surprise! The process is east. The food is delish. The decor beautiful. And they literally take care of everything! Look forward to our next dinner party.”
“Chef Francis and his team are amazing! We had an end of summer dinner party with friends and they made the evening into something fun and special. They put so much thought and detail into every dish and it was one of my favorite nights this year.Also as the host, you are so stress free and just enjoying the evening! They completely take care of everything, leaving the house almost better than when they arrived.My husband and I are thinking we’ll make it an annual thing! So much fun. 10/10 would do it again”
“Chef Francis and the Vendador team delivered an absolutely unforgettable experience for our private dinner party of 22. From planning to execution, everything was seamless.They arrived early, handled setup and cleanup flawlessly (the kitchen looked untouched), created two fantastic custom craft cocktails, curated perfect wine pairings for every course, and served elegant, outstanding canapés. Every course was unique, delicious, and beautifully presented, complete with thoughtful explanations of the dish and wine pairing.Professional, polished, and genuinely special — an experience to die for. I would recommend Chef Francis without hesitation.”
“We had the privilege of working with Chef Francis and the Vendador team for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice! From our very first meeting, Chef Francis was incredibly professional, attentive, and passionate about making our day perfect.The 5 course plant-based menu, passed appetizers and custom cocktails he crafted for us were bursting with flavor, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and drinks! The presentation of everything was absoluetly stunning and the staff was extremely attentive and made us all feel like we were dining at a Michelin Star restaurant!Another highlight of working with Chef Francis was tasting experience earlier in the year where he came to our home to prepare all the dishes from our menu!We are so thankful to Chef Francis and the entire Vendador team for helping to make our wedding day so perfect and cannot wait to work with Chef Francis again!”
“Frances and the team at Vendador delivered one of the most unforgettable culinary experiences I’ve ever had. The food was exceptional—every bite bursting with flavor, crafted with precision, and plated with an eye for beauty. What truly set the experience apart, was the meticulous attention to detail. Every element, down to the smallest nuance, was thoughtfully considered. From the perfectly curated menu to the seamless flow of the evening, I didn’t have to lift a finger. The environment was just as intentional as the food—elevated, inviting, and absolutely stunning. I was blown away. If you’re looking for an experience that feels indulgent, personal, and completely transportive, Frances and Vendador are in a league of their own.”
“The entire team is fantastic. The food quality and service are exceptional. I’ve hosted about 10 events with Chef Francis and team over the last year or two and they keep getting better and better. From small 4 person dinners to 100+ people events, this team is the best!”
“Chef Francis and his team flawlessly executed for our 30–40 person BBQ! From the moment they arrived, everything was handled with professionalism — the setup was beautiful and the timing was spot on. The food was the real star: every dish was packed with incredible flavor, perfectly balanced, and clearly crafted with high-quality ingredients. Everyone was raving all afternoon and going back for seconds (and thirds!). It was the perfect mix of delicious food, seamless execution, and genuine hospitality. Can’t wait to work with Chef Francis again!”
“You just don’t end up with an experience like this without an unimaginable amount of work and expertise! Truly. Francis and the Vendador team is able to curate the most incredible experience through taste, texture, smell, presentation and education. He is a wealth of knowledge with the ability to translate it to stunning and delicious dishes. No matter the needs Vendador is able to deliver. Truly fine dining in any space! He’s a mastermind :)”
“Wow. Just wow. Francis and Vendador Chicago truly are a hidden gem amongst the robust dining scene that is Chicago.We were fortunate enough to experience Francis’ in-home private dining experience, and I cannot stop raving about it. From our first interaction, I could feel Francis’ energy and enthusiasm for food, which directly translated to the experience itself! He was highly accommodating, even through many date and menu changes. And this is all before we even took a bite of his food (which, if this was any indication, was going to be next level!)!Just a little background to help paint the picture, we shared this experience with another couple, and throughout the meal, Francis did a great job with just letting us catch up with each other, while also interacting with us. He orchestrated the service like a true professional, which we all appreciated. Now onto the actual food itself. The salmon crudo with citrus?! I still dream of this dish. It was so fresh, and perfectly balanced in every way possible. The fresh, homemade pasta carbonara with uni cream sauce can be described in one word - decadent! He even topped it with fresh shaved truffle (drooooollll). The roasted baby carrots. Wow, I never knew a carrot could taste this amazing. I could go on and on, but in summary, all 6 courses he made for us were on par, if not better, than other fine dining establishments. Also, I must make note of one perk of having this experience at home (besides being able to change into sweatpants immediately after eating all of this yumminess) - we get to keep all of the leftovers! He had made us an entire tiramasu cake, but we only got thru half of it that evening. What’s better than cake for dessert?! Cake for dessert two nights in a row!To say that he knocked this experience out of the park is an understatement! I know everyone’s post-pandemic calendars are filling up, but if you have any free moments, you must give him a try before he blows up (which I can just feel is coming soon!)!”
“Francis and his team were INCREDIBLE. Everything from the food to the service to the vibes were 10/10. No notes. The next morning after the party my husband and I agreed that we need to have a "Francis Party" at least twice a year because it was worth every. penny. If you are considering hosting an event with food for more than 6 people, at least reach out for a quote. You won’t regret it!”
“A PERFECT TEA PARTY!Start to finish, the tea party exceeded my expectations. I wanted to set the bar high and leave guests with a memorable experience, and thanks to Chef Francis Pascal and the Vendador team, we did! They are the best! It was a wonderful experience working with them and seeing Chef Francis and his team in action.The guests absolutely loved the square table arrangement, black tablecloths, and gold and black plates, which set off the black and white art on the gallery walls. The space was tight, but the Vendador team got the square arrangement to work, and it was perfect aesthetically, and worked well for guest visibility and conversations.The food (taste and colors,) presentation, and service were all beyond fabulous! The menu of finger sandwiches, veggie roll, mini savory tarts, watercress soup and more was on point. Appreciated the vegan options too. The custom cocktail, scones, and desserts were delish!Providing guests with individual tea strainers, loose tea, and serving hot water from teapots were small details that everyone enjoyed. Guests raved about how fabulous everything was and said the Sunday afternoon tea party was a fantastic idea and experience. So many functions are cocktail parties or dinners; but, apparently, everyone also loves a good tea party! It’s the talk about town.The Vendador staff was beyond marvelous! Friendly, engaging, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, efficient, and just topnotch overall. There were no details with service that were overlooked. The Vendador team is a Dream Team!The rental company delivery and staff were also great. All went off without a hitch. Thanks for organizing. I hope in the future to throw an over the top (less formal) huge Mad Hatter tea party. GOALS!! Continued success to Chef Francis and Vendador. Cheers!”
“We hade Vendador cater a birthday dinner and it was absolutely fantastic. They made a beautiful Indian fusion menu and it was delightful. The team was so kind and meticulous with there work, and it couldn’t have been better!!!”
“Francis created a truly wonderful, private dining experience for my family, making my Mom’s 65th birthday an unforgettable night. Prior to the event, Francis was very accommodating to our tastes, requests, and dietary requirements. He provided multiple cuisine styles and menu samples to choose from and we settled on an American-inspired four-course menu. He arrived with his cooking companion on time and was polite, friendly and interactive. I even got a fried chicken cooking lesson. The food was unique, creative, elegant, and delicious. And plentiful. Francis even brought along some black truffles and a foie gras mousse that was not even planned to incorporate into the menu. As someone who loves to cook, I learned a great deal throughout the night from talking to Francis. Overall, it was truly one of the most memorable dining experiences of my life. My family was very grateful and we’d recommend Francis to anyone, we already have. Cheers!”
“Chef Francis and his entire team were absolutely incredible! If there was a rating higher than 5 stars, they would deserve it! We hosted a kitchen counter dinner for 9, and it was truly a unique and beautiful experience. Chef was able to curate the perfect plant forward menu, that even the meat eaters couldn’t stop raving about. All his ingredients were hand selected, seasonal, and locally sourced, and you could taste the freshness in his food. We loved being front and center, seeing the artistic presentation and the detail that went into each dish first hand. Our sommelier was so knowledgeable and was able to perfectly pair wine or whiskey with each course, and provided such beautiful insight into every tasting she provided. Chef Francis and his entire staff were so kind and wonderful, we really enjoyed getting to spend this special evening with them and we cannot wait to have them over again!”
“Chef Francis is a talented artist, plain and simple. He curated a private dinner to celebrate Father’s Day for my partner. He paid attention to detail to the point that my partner, who is a shameless foodie, complimented each dish and wine pairing by Sommelier Kim. The experience was shared with our children, which was their first time indulging in a fine dining setting. They enjoyed the commentary by Chef Francis and learned so much about the inspiration behind each dish. Chef Francis and Sommelier Kim were inviting, down-to-Earth, punctual, professional, knowledgeable, detailed-oriented, passionate, and most of all the presentation and food along with the exceptional wine pairing were above par!! I would recommend Chef Francis over and over again - if I could give him 10 stars I would. Thank you for making Father’s Day so special.”
“Chef Francis and his team helped host my husband’s 40th birthday dinner, and it was truly a memorable experience. Each of the eight courses was impeccable—somehow, each one better than the last. From my very first call with Chef Francis, I knew he was the one I wanted to help celebrate this special occasion.The menu was thoughtfully curated to our preferences, the cocktail hour was divine, and Zaida made excellent wine recommendations to pair with dinner. What amazed me most was how the entire evening felt like we had been transported to a fine dining restaurant, all while in the comfort of our own home.I can’t wait to plan our next event with the Vendador team—they are simply exceptional!”
“We had an incredible experience with this private dinner company from start to finish. Chef Francis created a meal that felt thoughtful, creative, and perfectly executed. Every course was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, and the attention to detail made the whole evening feel truly special.Beyond the food, Francis brought such a warm and professional energy to the experience. The atmosphere felt intimate, relaxed, and elevated all at once. Our guests are still talking about the dinner days later.If you’re looking for a unique dining experience that feels personal, memorable, and restaurant-quality in your own space, I can’t recommend this company enough.”
“My wife and I had never hired a private chef before and had no idea what to expect. A friend recommended Vendador for our anniversary and we are so glad we listened. Chef Francis and his team were incredible. Warm, professional, and genuinely great with our three little ones while we actually got to enjoy our anniversary dinner uninterrupted for the first time in years. The food was outstanding, and we had amazing wine pairings. Every course better than the last, and they left our home spotless. Our kids were playing “chef” the next morning in the living room! It was such a special night and we are so grateful. 10/10”
“I can not say enough about Francis and his team at Vendador. Francis was a dream to work with leading up to the event- worked with me on my crazy ideas, had perfect contacts for other vendors we might need (I.e. space rental, flowers, etc), and was wonderful with communication. I had a few of my guests cancel last minute and Francis worked with me to make the intimate event perfect - on a short timeline!His attention to detail (the menus at the place settings, the welcome cocktail, the prep) is next level. He truly goes above and beyond. His operation is a well oiled, professional machine.The food was out of this world. Francis is a talented chef - each course was better than the next. I am still dreaming of (and drooling over) that salmon crudo! He delivers a luxury dining experience in the comfort of your home - my guests and I will never forget that unbelievable meal.Francis and his team left my kitchen spotless- they were incredibly respectful of our space- and he was very sweet to my kids (they loved that he made them a special mac and cheese meal).The best part of the entire experience is that Francis is just one of those good humans who you want to continue working with and referring people to. He cares about what he does with true passion and his customer service shows it. We enjoyed chatting with him all night and can’t wait to have him back.10 out of 5 stars.”
“Not to be dramatic, but one of the best evenings of my life as a parent to young kids was an home dining experience we hired Francis for. The way he cares so deeply about both the cuisine AND your experience is incredible. We had the best evening of catching up with dear friends we see once a year and we laughed and talked and cried and celebrated milestones all while Francis and his team attended to everything! I’m beyond thankful for the amazing menu and experience they curated for us!!!🥹 the best thing about working with Francis is that he will put 100% effort into every aspect of your event. Hospitality is in his blood. And the team he hired reflects that exact same passion and level of dedication. I could go on and on but just book him. Just do it. Now.”
“Vendador hosted a private dinner for us in our home and the experience was phenomenal. Our meal began with “PB&J” (foie gras) on toast; so delicious. We requested buttermilk fried chicken as our main course; mouth-watering, juicy with perfectly crisp skin. Dessert was sponge cake with berries and ice cream; a perfect finish to a perfect experience. I would highly recommend Vendador and plan to have them prepare another dinner for us in the near future. It’s like bringing a Michelin restaurant into your home. Can’t beat that..”
“I’ve eaten at multiple pop ups and had the privilege of attending a private dinner hosted by vendador and just, wow. Delicious is an understatement. What really stands out is the level of care taken to make sure each of us were having a great time. Chef even remembered we loved oysters and surprised us with an oyster course! They are hospitality, personified. Do yourself a favor and book before the price goes up!”
“Chef Francis and his team are the very best. As promised, we were able to be guests at our own party and had a great time. Every person in the team was a very skilled professional and worked together seamlessly as a team. All of our guests had a great time too. Thanks Chef Francis and the team.”
“Anyone thinking of hiring a private chef should reach out to Vendador. Anyone not thinking of hiring a private chef should start thinking about it, then reach out to Vendador. They provide an incredible fine dining experience in the comfort of your home that is so much more special than just going to a restaurant.Chef Francis is responsive, accomodating, and extremely talented. His staff is experienced, professional, and a joy to be around. They turned what could have been just a nice dinner into a memorable, one-of-a-kind celebration. I can only hope to work with them again in the future, absolutely worth it.”
“Chef Francis and Vendador did it again! We’ve had the pleasure of enjoying a number of his private dinners the past five years and they knock it out of the park every time! Incredible flavors, the freshest ingredients, and the best experience every time. They’re the absolute best!!!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Vendador. First, let’s start with professionalism. Always on time, they clean up SO well, are kind, guide you through the meal, and are so knowledgeable & passionate about their craft. Their work ethic is phenomenal, and it clearly stems from how much Chef Francis cares about delivering an exceptional experience.Second, let’s talk about the FOOD!!! We’ve booked them twice now and both meals I still dream about to this day. The most recent booking they cooked up a cod dish that my family still talks about, even months later. Don’t even get me started on the presentation. In summation, you will be amazed! Half my family is vegetarian, the other half is pescatarian - they navigate dietary restrictions like pros and make sure everyone has something they will love.Chef Francis + team, you are amazingly talented and provide a delicious + memorable experience every time. Keep up the fantastic work, and we’ll see you again soon!”
“My experience with Vendador was truly five stars. I asked them to do a private dinner for my husband and I’s first anniversary and they delivered! Both Chef Francis and Zaida were very professional, but so personable at the same time. We had a great time chatting with them while they were setting the table and prepping the food. Their process is seamless. They bring all of their own equipment-- pots, pans, plates, silverware, wine glasses etc. and leave everything spotless after they are finished. The food was true fine dining restaurant quality and absolutely fantastic. The tuna tartar and tortelli dishes were standouts for us. Chef Francis even did a special rendition of our strawberry mousse wedding cake for dessert. Zaida’s wine pairings went perfectly with each dish and were the cherry on top of a wonderful dinner. Thank you both for a fantastic meal and making our first anniversary so special! We will be raving about you to everyone we know for the foreseeable future!”
“What a wonderful experience and fantastic meal! It was fine dining brought right to us complete with wine pairings and a sommelier. Would definitely recommend👍🏼”
“Vendador is an amazing luxury private dining service that the company I work for has had the pleasure of partnering with a few times now. I can honestly say the cuisine & cocktails blow our guests minds and mine at each event. They are extremely professional and go above and beyond to curate the experience you request at the highest level!”
“It was a great experience and service by this team led by Chef Francis. They were very professional, and served high-quality menu. The food had a great presentation and it tasted amazing!The logistics of arriving, setting up, packing up with seamless and smooth.I highly recommend his service a private events and/or corporate events.”
“My husband and I attended Vendador’s spring equinox pop-up dinner. It was incredible. Every detail was intentional - the decor, the plating and, of course, the presentation and food experience.The passed hors d’oeuvres were outstanding—I’m still thinking about the smoky yet spicy ceviche. The seven courses were some of the best food I’ve ever had. Chef Francis told us a bit about each course and what inspired the food choices, which made each dish even more special. We opted for the non-alcoholic wine pairings and left taking pictures of the wine labels because they were incredible.Chef Francis and his team clearly take great pride in their craft. Their joy in sharing the experience with all of us with us was clear and added such warmth to the evening. The food, the ambiance, the service—every element reflected care, creativity, and talent. Highly recommend them for private dining needs!”
“Chef Francis and his team helped me throw an absolutely fabulous fiftieth birthday party for my husband at our house. A lovely mixologist hosted a cocktail class and chef Francis paired delicious passed appetizers with each drink. He also prepared amazing seafood, charcuterie and crudités platters. And his pastry chef did chocolates and candies as a special treat. What a night. The spotless kitchen afterwards was the icing on the proverbial cake. Our guests raved about the party. I can’t recommend Chef Francis and his team more highly. One other note - they seemed to be having fun too. Working their tails off, of course, but in great spirits and really enjoying the night. That makes a huge difference when you are working in someone’s home and it was something that I noticed and my guests did too. Thanks Chef Francis and Team ❤️🥂”
