Chef Ken was amazing! We had a company retreat and Chef Ken prepared our lunch and dinners for each day. The food was fresh, set up was great, and tasted amazing! I highly recommend Chef Ken!
Jimmy Lamphier
Chef Kenn couldn’t have been any better for my engagement party. His attention to detail is top notch and he treated my guests with immense respect. The food was incredible and every single one of my guests said nothing but great things. I would be happy to recommend Chef Kenn for anybody’s catering needs and look forward to having him cater for another event for me. Thank you Chef Kenn for a world class experience, treating my guests with respect, and for cooking an amazing meal for us all! More...

Chef Kenn was absolutely fantastic! I can’t say enough about not only how delicious the food was, but also how beautiful everything looked.
His presentation was stunning — he even incorporated real flowers and called me the day before to ask about the party’s color scheme so he could coordinate his décor.
He went above and beyond in every way. He checked in while driving over to see if I needed him to pick anything up, and during the event he constantly offered to help with anything so I could relax, mingle, and enjoy the celebration. His personality is warm, kind, and genuinely caring. He even asked guests if he could get them anything else, and everyone complimented his service throughout the night.
I recommend him tenfold. If I ever need catering again, I will absolutely be using Chef Kenn!

Chef Kenn was so wonderful! Highly recommend him for an amazing, unique, and mouth watering personal chef experience. Our meals were incredible. His presentation was beautiful, and he tidied up after leaving the kitchen sparkly clean! The first meal was so good we added on a second dinner from him the following night because we couldn’t get enough. 10/10 overall. Thanks Kenn! More...

Kenn cooked dinners for our large group of 25 while we were on vacation. He made food to accommodate adults & children - both were excellent. He was professional, efficient, & also so personable- which made the experience feel special to us! Highly recommend! More...
Kathy
I hired Ken to cook for her family while staying at an Airbnb. His food was absolutely amazing! He’s skillfully handled serving 10 children seven and under, as well as 14 adults. The presentation was stunning for bringing everything with him, his menu was five star, and there was more than plenty. We enjoyed it so much, We invited him later in the week to cook for us again. We did not think he could top what he did for us the first night, but he did! I hope we are back in Orlando soon to invite him again More...

Chef Kenn Calder outdone himself again. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better. The Caribbean cuisine was amazing. The salmon with pineapple salsa was like butter, the honey glazed plantains was delicious & to top it all off, the pineapple fosters left us all speechless!!! Chef Kenn is very personable. He interacted with the adults as well as with the kids. The night was filled with great food, laughter & a lot of grateful hearts. Until next year Chef Kenn! More...

Chef Kenn was Excellent! The spread was nothing short of spectacular. There was an impressive variety of dishes, catering to all palates and dietary preferences.
The highlight for me was the gouda grits and salmon. The Avocado toast bar was also amazing.
Overall, this catered brunch was a phenomenal experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to host an unforgettable gathering. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the quality of the food was simply outstanding. I can’t wait for the next opportunity to indulge in such a delightful feast from Chef Kenn!

Absolute perfection! Hired Chef Kenn for two meals during a family vacation for 12 of us: 6 adults and 6 children. Could not have asked for a better experience! The food and the service were beyond extraordinary. Kenn was so accommodating and made sure that everyone had exactly what they wanted…even a very picky 6 year old :) Do not hesitate to hire Chef Kenn…or as my grandkids called him- “Chef Amazing”. You will not be disappointed! More...

We hired Chef Ken to prepare meals for our family, which included both kids and adults. Over the course of four days, he catered breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and he was nothing short of exceptional. Chef Ken skillfully balanced the tastes of both the children and adults, offering a wonderful variety of dishes. He was consistently punctual and well-prepared, and his food prep resulted in delicious meals that everyone enjoyed. It truly was a fantastic weekend, and I wholeheartedly recommend him. Thank you, Chef Ken! It has been a delightful experience all around. More...

Chef Kenn prepared and delivered dinner for 16 of us while we stayed in a home at Reunion, FL.
It was delicious! The presentation was very nice with fresh flowers, which added a really special touch.
He was great to work with during the planning process and was very accommodating to offer vegetarian and gluten free options. All in all, a great experience!

Chef Kenn prepared an impressive and gorgeously decorated meal. All the guests were in awe of the themed set up, with everything including beverages, flowers, and desserts adding to the atmosphere. And on top of that, everything was delicious. The empanadas were a crowd favorite More...
Erin Drew
There isn't enough stars in the sky to rate Chef Kenn. He set the bar so high for catered meals and jaw dropping presentation that I know I will never hire anyone else. Kenn was a joy to collaborate with and even customized the menu to match my party theme of Day of the Dead. Anyone can order catered food. I wanted my guests to have an experience they would never forget. Mission accomplished. Kenn decorated the food display with candles, flowers and sugar skulls decor. It was jaw dropping. My only regret is that I didn't pay him to set up my bar. I bought the alcohol on my own to save costs. But the display was a joke compared to what Kenn did with his food! LOL. I should have had him style my bar too! He spent 2 hours setting up his display before the guests arrived. He has an amazing work ethic, a joyful spirit and a loving heart. He truly cares. And the food tasted amazing too. Hire Chef Kenn. You will not be disappointed! More...

I highly recommend Chef Kenn and will hire him again for any future engagements. More...

Working with Chef Kenn was the best decision made for our dinner party. He was the total package and thanks to him and his helper, my spouse and I could enjoy the evening with our guests fully confident that everything was being handled perfectly. The menu was the star of the show, it fit the theme exactly and our guests enjoyed every bite made by this talented chef. Each course was beautifully plated and delicious! At the end of the service, the kitchen was left neat and tidy which meant I could enjoy the rest of the evening entertaining my guests. Now I know that if I have another event to plan, Chef Kenn will be my first call. Thank you Chef Kenn and your team, our event would not have been as fun or as memorable without you two! God bless!

I hired a company 2 months prior to my event and unfortunately called me 6 days prior to cancel. I reached out to 5 chefs and Chef Ken responded quickly even though he was working a party.
I was panicked and stressed. He offered to help me and planning started. Only having a few days to plan more people RSVP the night before which added 5 more people to the menu.
I was a banquet Manager for 22 yrs and worked with many chefs. Chef Kenn has the qualities I could only dream of.
Chef Ken was compationate, professional,
Served unbelievable food considering we were an hour late getting home while he waited. Family and friends fought over who was taking the little bit of leftovers.
Chef Ken has amazing abilities. The food just melts in your mouth leaving you wanting more. His personality and ability to multi-task, entertain the curious person while going above and beyond and serving world renowned food is absolutely amazing. Five stars is not good enough.
He is truly amazing.
