Food brings people together. That is Chef Dustin's motto and it certainly does and what is left at the end of an evening learning and cooking with Chef Dustin is a very satisfied pallett and great memories. Not only is he a star teacher sharing his wealth of knowledge, he also makes it a lot of fun and shows you how easy and enjoyable it can be to prepare simple and delicious food.

We were visiting San Diego for a week and wanted to have a chef prepare our meals and we were lucky enough to find Chef Michael. He was so friendly and easy to work with and accommodated all of our different dietary needs from pescatarian, to no fish, to FODMAP diet, to 3 toddlers. Each day he prepared wonderful meals with the freshest ingredients and it was always the perfect amount. The salads were amazing and the meat cooked perfectly. He prepared, cooked and had it all cleaned up and we couldn't have asked for more. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and my entire family was so appreciative that we met him. If you're planning a party, wanting a plated meal or more family style Michael can make it happen.
