Personal & Private Chef Jon Stokes

I messaged (via website) Chef Jon at the very very very last minute in September 2022 hoping he had availability to cook for my husband and I in our home in celebration of my husband's birthday. He emailed and called me right away. I got to speak to him, and he was super lovely via telephone, confirming he had availability and explaining his cooking/prep process. He emailed me details that same day, I made the food selections, and paid his deposit immediately. This was a Wednesday. He came to cook for us on Friday of that same week. Very Last Minute!He arrived promptly on Friday 1.5 hour before the time we wanted to eat dinner. He came super prepared, and I left him alone in the kitchen downstairs while I got ready to have dinner. I will say, our home smelled sooooo good almost immediately after Chef Jon began cooking. We were upstairs and excited to eat!At dinner time, my husband and I came to the kitchen, cracked open a bottle of wine, and Chef Jon told us to sit at the table in an area he had set beautifully and he served us a DELICIOUS 4-course meal that consisted of: 1) Warm Lobster Mac and Cheese with Talleggio Cheese2) Campari Tomato Salad / Fresh Mozzarella / Balsamic Vinaigrette / Micro Basil3) Duo of Boneless Beef Short Ribs / Crispy Alaskan Salmon / Bourbon Glaze / Basil Beurre Blanc / Buttermilk Yukon Mash Potato / Portabella Mushroom and Pearl Onion / Roasted Brussel Sprouts4) New York Style Cheesecake / Fresh Berries / Whipped Cream / WaferALL OF THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AND PRESENTED BEAUTIFULLY. We were so satisfied. Chef Jon was such a pleasure to have in our home. While he served each course, he described the food contents, and provided wonderful conversation. He also cleaned up after feeding and serving us. I highly recommend booking Chef Jon for your personal chef needs. You will not be sorry. I will be booking him again for a brunch party!

You won't regret hiring Chef Jon! I recently had him cater a holiday dinner at my home and his dishes tasted as good as they sounded when he first described them to me. We had a vast menu which catered to vegetarians and non vegetarians and it was fabulous ! His lamb chops with the chimmichuri were perfection ! My guest list was fluctuating but he made sure I had plenty of food for the dinner. I will be working with him again due to the ease of working with him and fair pricing.

I highly recommend Chef Jon! He's quick, makes amazing food, and left our kitchen sparkling. 10/10!

Chef Jon is amazing! He cooked our family a 4 course dinner for 2 nights and the food was soooo good. Everything tasted wonderful and was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Chef Jon and his team!

We had Chef Jon cater a lunchbox event for both lunch and dinner. The food was delivered on time, clearly labeled, and most importantly, delicious! The portions were very generous and everyone loved it. Thank you!

This was a first for me, and my experience with Chef Jon was perfect! Family from out-of-state was in for a celebration of my mother's birthday. I wanted to just enjoy myself and not fuss in the kitchen all night for a party of 14. I had an idea of what I wanted, and Chef Jon sent options. We tweaked the menu and details from there. Communication with him was prompt, pricing reasonable, food fantastic. His assistants and he we're totally professional without being "stuffy". Set-up, cooked, served, clean-up - went perfectly. Highly recommend.

Chef Jon was very quick to respond and was flexible with timing, course, etc. During service, Chef Jon and his assistant provided a beautiful 3 course meal done very professionally at our home. Everything was cleaned up nicely following service. We would highly recommend Chef Jon for any in home special occassions!

Chef Jon prepared a flawless dinner for my mother's surprise dinner party last night. 3 course meal with crab cakes, duo of salmon and short ribs, and chocolate Bundt cake with strawberries. Everything was so delicious and beautifully prepared. From quote to event, communication was excellent. He arrived promptly to my address with another employee, whom was friendly and nice. They were professional and ready to provide their services. They even left my kitchen cleaner then I left it for them. I will 1000% use his services again.

We hired Chef Jon for an "elevated tailgate" in Oct '23. He was great to work with on the menu as we brainstormed ideas and tweaked the menu. Dropped off equipment the day before and the operations the day of the event went smoothly.Now the food. Fantastic! Everyone loved the 3 types of sliders, the chimichurri tri-tip, the mac and cheese, loaded potato skins, home made guac and chips, enormous charcuterie board and fresh fruit. Amazing that everything tasted great.The only "downside" was that we had so much food - even giving away food at the end of the event.We used Chef Jon to provide a bartender and she was also great!Friends were so impressed, they used Chef Jon for a party in Nov. '23. We'll be using Chef Jon again in 2024 - maybe for the NFL playoffs and a private dinner party. You can't go wrong with Chef Jon and team. We highly recommend him.

Looking for a culinary rock star? Chef Jon is your guy. The food he and his assistant chef, Ingo, prepared was better than the fine dining restaurants in Las Vegas...and that says a lot. Our guests were blown away with each dish and were photographing their food. It made the evening very memorable.
