“We wanted a meal that was delicious and customizable and unlike most other wedding meals, and Cooking With Cuellar delivered! We had the most incredible build-your-own taco/nacho/fajita bar with Chris's signature Puerto Rican flair. Also, we do not live in Chicago, but they worked with our schedule to host us for tastings, often last minute. Not only that, but the entire staff is SO kind and gracious and a delight just to talk to! We'd pick them again and again.”

“I cannot speak enough good things about Franco and the experience he provides to his customers. He is communicative and clear in process leading up to the event. Once he arrives, he brings all of his own materials which takes hte stress out of a chef cooking in your own home. The food is absolutely incredible. He finds the freshest fish in the area and has an expertise in mixing flavors together. The most fun part is experiencing the chef cooking in front of you. This is especially fun for anyone with bar stools where you can watch him at work. He brings fun tools like blow torches and fryers to give you a full in restaurant like experience. And finally, nothing beats an evening with Franco himself. He is such an interesting person with a diverse set of life experiences. We could sit and talk to him for hours. In the past, we have bought a bottle of Japanese whiskey which we drink with him while he cooks. This is a great activity or date night for a special event like birthday or anniversary or just to change up your normal routine. We cannot recommend Franco enough!!!!”
