I really can't say enough great things about Chef Devlin. Â He's cooked for my friends and family a half dozen times now and each time has been incredible! Â His food is outstanding; innovative dishes, cooked to perfection every time, & professionally plated! Â Not only is his food off the charts, but his service is impeccable! Â He brings all of his own dishes and tableware and always leaves my kitchen cleaner than it was when he arrived! Â He'll engage with you and your guests as much or as little as you'd like, he's great at picking up the vibe of the room! Â I wish I had more pictures to share but I never leave the food on my plate long enough!!! Â I highly recommend you check out Chef Devlin for your next dinner party! More...

Definitely hire this chef. I hired Devlin for a bachelorette party in Denver and it was an amazing experience. The food was incredible and he was very sweet and professional to everyone. He really exceeded my expectations, the girls loved it. He was very easy to work with and accommodating to our needs. I have had one other private chef experience in Denver that was kind of a let down so I was extremely relieved that this was everything I wanted and more! More...

If you are reading this right now, hire him!Devlin is such an incredible chef! My fiancee and I had such an amazing four course meal with him tonight. Â Not only was the food amazing, but we learned so much about food, cooking and everything in between! Â He worked with my fiancee to come up with a menu tailored to our pallets (see attached) and everything was a 10/10. More...

What’s your signature dish?
I can't really say that I have one specific dish that defines me, as I love to change my menus and dishes frequently. I've once heard a chef answer this question by saying, "I can't name one favorite dish that I cook, because I may not have cooked it yet." However, my favorite technique is braising. I love to take less expensive, tougher cuts of meat and nurture them slowly to make it fall apart while eating it.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
I always try to listen to my client's likes, dislikes, and dietary restrictions to use my two decades of culinary experience and technique to create unique dishes.
What do you love most about your job?
I love owning my own business. I have 100% creative control over my menus.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Covid layoffs left me jobless after managing the front of house at a restaurant in Chicago. I decided that it was the perfect opportunity to start fresh in Colorado and go back to my culinary roots.
Why should our clients choose you?
I love to be a part of my client's special occasions. Creating a unique experience is why I do this.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can. During Covid, many of my colleagues and I provided cooking classes via Zoom. Let me know if you are interested!
Personal Chef
I can create 3-10 course meals for you and your guests. I love preparing my menus with the highest quality ingredients and utilizing classic technique to create unique dishes.
Catering
Whether for a small party, corporate event, rehersal dinner, or wedding, my team and I can provide many styles of service and cuisine to accommodate your needs. I’m always open to suggestions or special requests.
