Wow, what an unforgettable dining experience! Chef Luke absolutely wowed us with his culinary prowess.Our evening was elevated to new heights as we indulged in the sumptuous delights he prepared. Our favorites were the Short Rib Bourguignon and the Seared Scallops with Lobster Cream.
First and foremost, the Short Rib Bourguignon was a revelation. The tenderness of the meat, paired with the rich, velvety red wine sauce, created a harmonious marriage of flavors that left us craving more. The melt-in-your-mouth texture of the short ribs was a testament to Chef Luke's expertise in slow-cooking, resulting in a dish that exceeded all expectations.
The Seared Scallops were a true delight and showcased Chef Luke's impeccable attention to detail. Each scallop was flawlessly seared to perfection, maintaining their natural sweetness and delicate texture.
Now, let's talk about the Lobster Cream. This velvety, luxurious sauce was the perfect complement to the scallops, infusing them with a burst of flavor that lingered on our taste buds. The addition of lobster to the cream sauce was a stroke of genius, creating a dish that we simply could not get enough of.
Throughout the evening, Chef Luke demonstrated not only culinary excellence but also a keen eye for plating. Each dish was presented like a work of art, enticing us not only with their aromas but also with their stunning visual appeal.
Moreover, Chef Luke's professionalism and warmth added to the overall experience. He took the time to explain each dish, its ingredients, and the cooking techniques used, which allowed us to appreciate the depth of his culinary expertise.
In conclusion, hiring Chef Luke as our personal chef for the evening was the best decision we could have made for this special occasion. His Short Rib Bourguignon and Seared Scallops with Lobster Cream creations were nothing short of extraordinary. If you're looking to elevate your dining experience and treat your taste buds to an unforgettable journey, Chef Luke is the culinary artist you need!
Thank you, Chef Luke, for an unforgettable evening of gastronomic delights. We are already eagerly anticipating our next culinary...
Read moreIf you are looking for a private chef for dinner or a party in the Dallas area, you should consider Luke Keller of LK culinary. I found Luke on thumbtack. He had many high ratings so I reached out by email and he quickly responded. We talked over the phone about the party that I was planning, general numbers on size of party (20), what we wanted (courses with wine pairings from my wine library) and when. Luke responded with a sample menu that was pretty much exactly what we did. He was spot on with the suggestions. (Descriptions In attached pictures). Luke and his assistant arrived 3 hours early for prep and were great conversation as we prepared for the party. We changed the order of courses to better fit the wine progression and he was helpful and adaptable. They brought almost everything they needed. Luke used our oven, range, blender and countertop, but otherwise had everything they needed. They also brought plates. We had the wine glasses and disposable silverware. They served the dishes and poured the wine coursing for guests and we did it in casual fashion with people standing and mingling. Every course hit the mark and at least 3 people asked for his information to use him. I will add more details on the individual dishes later, but if you read the descriptions in the pictures know they were each executed very well. After dinner they cleaned all dishes and glasses as well as the kitchen. It was very refreshing late the next morning when we rolled out of the rack to survey the damage. AMAZING...
Read moreI called upon Luke to help me surprise my boyfriend and his family with a wonderful custom 5 courses and 2 drinks dinner for 10 people. It was my first time ever going the private chef route and although I lack experience in this area of event planning, all my research points to Luke being a very qualified candidate for the occasion. I had asked 3 different chefs for a rustic farm-to-table Italian style dinner and he had presented me with a menu that surpassed the other professional chefs in the area in terms of quality and creativity! Luke is super responsive so if you know what you want, the planning will be very smooth and seamless. However if you don't know what you want, he can be of great help!
On the night of the dinner, he showed up on time "boy scout style" in his words, aka he brings all equipment and ingredients, and got straight to prepping and cooking. He and his server were amazing! Once the meal started, it was a feast for the rest of the night! Not to mention our bottomless drinks! Everyone was so pleased with the meal, level of service, and just overall experience! Luke blessed us with a night to remember and also with leftovers for days, which we were glad to have because every flavor was on point! Not to mention the best part: they left the place spotless!
I highly recommend LK Culinary and I am looking forward to planning...
