a message from Chef Don Best private chef in San Luis Obispo
Food and drink bring people together and this beautiful truth is what fuels my love and passion to create unique and delicious dining experiences. My sole intention is to create meaningful and memorable experiences for our guests — ones that last a lifetime.
I have had a lifelong love of fine dining, where many of my best memories center around sharing food and drink with people that matter most to me.
As a private chef, I am able to carefully craft individual and unique menu selections across numerous courses, craft cocktails, local wine pairings and of course, we often end the evening with a fine spirit and the tastiest of desserts.
We source our produce, seafood and meats from local purveyors who are the best in class and care as much about quality as we do.
Let’s not forget the table or space where it all happens — these are specially designed in a festive, elegant or playful way — all intended to complement your experience.
A restaurateur at heart, with decades of experience, including time at the Portland Culinary Academy, restaurant owner and operator in Santa Barbara, a master barman with countless guests served at a variety of fine dining establishments — helping to shape me into the chef and host I am today. Our team pays careful attention to every detail and meticulously labor to exceed guests expectations…often surprising and delighting them.
I am blessed to work closely with my team, which includes several family members along with new friends made along the way. Each of them brings a truly special gift and vision to the table (pun intended). One that needs a special call out is Wendee, my wife of over three decades. She plays an integral role in creating all of our table settings that include specially curated elements to align with the event’s theme. She is also a master baker who creates mouth watering desserts that our guests rave about. Last but not least, she leads the charge in leaving the kitchen in better order than when we arrived.
It would be our pleasure and great joy to help envision your next special event, or if you have never tried the “home chef” experience, we would be thrilled to start the conversation.
Cheers!
