About
Frank spent fourteen years running steakhouse kitchens before going private, and he still cooks like a grill man — dry-aged beef, live fire, and sides that do not apologize for themselves.
He is the chef people book when the occasion matters: milestone birthdays, engagements, and the one big dinner of a family trip. He cooks over fire outside whenever the house allows it.
Frank brings his own thermometers and cuts everything to order, so steaks come off at the temperature each guest actually asked for.

Cuisine & Dietary
Specialties
Dietary accommodations
Vegetarian mains are available but should be confirmed at booking so they are not an afterthought.
Tell Frank about allergies during planning and he will adjust the menu before shopping.
Cooking takes place in your rental kitchen and on outdoor grills rather than a controlled facility, so cross-contact cannot be ruled out. Guests with severe allergies should speak with Frank directly before booking.
Booked this for my wifes 40th. Eight steaks, eight different temperatures, every one correct. Frank cooked outside on the deck and people kept drifting over to watch. Worth every dollar.
