Jeannette was super responsive and easy to work with. She solved all the problems and attended to all my catering needs. Delivery was on time, and the break down was perfect! The chicken piccata was so soft I still find hard to believe. The assorted desserts were definitely a talking point, they sure were assorted (was not even able to try them all!) and so delicious I couldn’t pick a favorite either. My wedding cake was everything I dreamed of! I can’t recommend chef johns more, and it sure was one of the best investments of my wedding.

The Crain Experience 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA

Welcome. Chef Jason started out in the kitchen at 15 years old as a dishwasher at Red Lobster washing dishes and baking. From there, he worked many cook’s lines until I earned my first chef position under Emeril Lagasse over ten years ago. He's went on to operating casino kitchens, private dining clubs. Since relocating from Atlanta, GA Jason has gained experience in kitchen consulting and new restaurant openings. After 25 years in the industry, He is now starting a new journey into the Private Chef sector. He refers to his style of cooking as Southern Creole cooking, where it’s much more than cooking…it’s about the overall experience.

The Crain Experience was so amazing and easy to work with! Anytime I had questions they were so quick to get back to me. The food was delicious, the drinks were phenomenal, and the staff/bartenders were easygoing, professional, and personable. I could not recommend them more!
