Gastro Personal Chef Service

Chef Dan created a beautiful evening for my family in February. We hired Dan to prepare dinner as gift for my aunt and uncle. From the moment I first reached out to him, he was easy going, professional and courteous. He was helpful with providing ideas on menu items while being mindful of the budget we discussed. It was wonderful to have a meal prepared while we relaxed, chatted and enjoyed a few cocktails.
The entire meal was incredible! Appetizer, soup, salad, main course and dessert were all prepared and everything was absolutely delicious. It was a perfect way to have a five star quality meal at home. Dan went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy; the kitchen was left in perfectly clean condition, which gave everyone more time to enjoy the evening and relax. No shopping, no cooking, no clean up and a superb dinner made for an excellent evening!
I definitely would recommend Dan at Gastro PCS for your special event; he was great!

Chef Dan did an amazing job at my holiday work party this past weekend. He gave me great suggestions prior to the party and we went with a southwest theme. He made a fantastic meal for 13, entertaining us and teaching us a few techniques in the process. He arrived 3 hours early to make sure all the prep work was done, worked the entire time he was here, all the while being very engaging with the guests and my children. He even went above the call of duty to prepare a last minute gluten free option, so my son could enjoy the churros. He even cleaned up all of the dishes. This chef is a true professional and you can tell he enjoys what he does. I am already planning my next party with him.

We hired Chef Dan for Moms birthday. He was professional throughout the entire experience, from selecting the meal and pricing, to being respectful in a stranger’s home. He came to the home prepared with everything and ready to go. It was a treat to see him work. The house smelled incredible the entire day as he prepared a beach themed meal. We had a group of 8 that he personally served and explained the preparation of each course. He made lobster bisque soup to start which was one of the greatest I have ever had. He also made a pulled pork taco that rivals some of the top Chicago Mexican restaurants. Once finished he cleaned the entire kitchen and left the place looking better than when he arrived. This is truly a great option if you are looking to have a unique private dining experience. I 100% recommend Chef Dan.

Great night. Chef Dan cooked for my girlfriends Birthday party and the food was truly amazing. First off, Dan was very patient and understanding as the number of party guests kept changing along with a date change or two. Thanks Dan. As far as the menu goes, Dan took the time to discuss what type of food we liked and came up with a truly amazing menu. We decided to go with heavy apps and he truly covered all aspects such as variety of apps along with wonderful flavors. A few of the apps included Sriracha Shrimp Gazpacho Shooters, Smoked red pepper mango/​scallop ceviche, mini New England lobster rolls, sundried tomato/​fresh mozzarella, & basil flatbreads, goat cheese/​fig/​arugula flatbreads, & homemade chocolate chip cookies. Everyone raved about the food and there was more than enough for all of the guests at the party. Nobody left hungry and more importantly, everyone left happy. Especially the Birthday girl. We look forward to having Dan create more of his truly wonderful food at our next party. Gastro Personal Chef/​Chef Dan Demichele will work with you and your budget and really serves the highest quality of food.

My husband and I hired Gastro and his staff for an evening of entertaining surgeon colleagues. It was great to relax in our home and have Chef Dan take care of the rest. He planned an awesome menu, took care of the shopping, cooked the dinner in our kitchen, served each coarse in a timely manner and cleaned up. Chef Dan was very efficient and professioal. The service and food quality made it truely a gastronomic experience. It was a lovely evening had by all and we plan on using them again in the near future.
