The best six days of food I ever had!

We use Patrick as a private chef to cook dinner and prepare a lunch for the next day. We had 21 people in a large beach house in Saint Augustine. All 21 of us enjoyed his food, his personality and his talent. The servings were generous And prepared excellent this event was to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and he made it as special as everything else on our family reunion. I would recommend them for anybody’s catering needs. Quite simply they are the best. Thank you Darrell and Joan from California.

Highly recommend!

Live Fire Chefs did an amazing job for our wedding. They were quick to respond to my catering inquiry. Setup a nice food tasting for the menu items we wanted. The food tasting was incredible, which convinced us to use them for our wedding. They had all the sides prepared and everything else was prepped but cooked on site, so everything was fresh and hot. Even though we were running behind schedule, live fire chefs was perfectly on time and had all the food ready at the time I requested. We got nothing but compliments on the food. The coconut shrimp is the best I’ve ever had and this food was the best wedding food I’ve ever had!
