Chef at home Richard

We carefully chose Chef Richard from his bio and his culinary experience. We were looking forward to watching him work, enjoying his food, and talking with him about his TV cooking contest experiences. We were very surprised and disappointed when, without any notice to us, a different chef showed up. Chef Craig was very nice, but not the chef we thought we were going to see. The apps were ok tasting, but we were told they were most likely 'bought', and not made by our chef, nor Chef Richard. The steaks were tasty, but nothing special. The 'molten lava cake' dessert was not molten, and seemed like something that we could have bought at the grocery store. Overall we were very disappointed.

Chef Richard did a great job and the food was all excellent. Only small issue I had was that we spoke about menu items for a guest that were dairy free (for my wife). He mentioned he could do that and it was not followed thru on. But the food and evening were both really great other than the non dairy options.
