Below you’ll find some of the things people are saying about my events.
“What a fun experience! My parents arranged for Chef Chris to cook a special dinner for us during our annual family trip. A night off from meal prep, cooking, and clean up was a gift in and of itself – but Chris’s amazing food made it truly special. Chris is very personable and really knows his stuff – it was fascinating hearing about his own experiences, as well as the Frederick food scene. I know I walked away with a few new tips, tricks, and cookbooks to add to my collection (Knives & Ink by Isaac Fitzgerald and Wendy MacNaughton being one of them). And when it came down to the food – where the rubber meets the road – Chris is a 10/10.
None of us could stop eating the pepperoni spread with apricots and walnuts.
The apple fennel celery salad was light and fresh. The short ribs with herb chimichurri paired perfectly with the corn pudding and Brussel sprouts.
And the malted milk pot de crème with pretzel crunch was everything you’ve ever wanted in a dessert. So, if you find yourself in need of exceptional food and a fun experience, definitely consider Chris and Perfect Little Bites.” -Allison S
“A incredible experience that went far above any expectations!
In a part of West Virginia with few options for vendors, I hosted a bachelor party for 15 people. While outside of his service area, Chris was willing to travel for this unique occasion once I connected with him and Perfect Little Bites. Chris was incredibly helpful during the planning process, and it was difficult to choose just four items from his incredible menu. After I spoke with him on the phone and further outlined what we are looking for in terms of “the WOW effect”—i.e., experiences that guests wouldn’t ordinarily have. Chris helped create a menu that guaranteed just that.
Chris arrived on the day of the event with help and all the plates, pots, and pans he would require. making both hosting and guests’ experiences entirely effortless. With every meal during the night, I heard the WOW effect in full force. A few guests said that it was undoubtedly the greatest short rib they had ever had.
For any event you are hosting—a party, a holiday, or a special dinner—I would without a doubt recommend Chris and Perfect Little Bites. Beyond all expectations, he gives his clients exceptional attention and helps them plan the ideal night.” -Mary M
“Chef Chris Spear is in one word, amazing. If I didn’t limit myself to one word, I’d also add in: incredible, talented, entertaining, knowledgeable, friendly, intelligent, thoughtful, creative, and brilliant. My wife and I just had our third son a month prior, and it was her birthday and we were not able to go out and celebrate due to the wonderful chaos of having a new little one tethered to mom. Chris was able to bring more than just the restaurant experience to us with this incredible service he provides. We learned new cooking techniques, flavor combinations, recipes that are easy for weekly meal making with little-to-no time, and more. As advertised, Chris brought everything: the ingredients, the dishes, the serving ware, the napkins and place settings; EVERYTHING. And then he took it all home with him. Chris spent almost a solid 5 hours with us and never made us feel rushed or hurried throughout the whole experience. He explained all his dishes, discussed the ingredients with us, gave us his perspective and thoughts on the dish, all while giving us stories about his own personal life and family and how he got to where he is today. He clearly loves what he does and it shows through on the food. My wife and I cannot wait to remake the dishes, and have already started looking at new cookware that Chris recommended. Chris even gave us links and recommendations for recipes that were not part of the meal experience we had signed up for. Chris clearly cares about the food and experience first, which is beyond refreshing and hopefully what helps set him above other chefs. We have told both of our entire families and friends about this experience and could not recommend Chris more. I hope people believe us and take the opportunity to have a similarly amazing experience with Chris. Ours was truly a great experience, and for that, the least we can do is say THANK YOU to Chef Chris!” – Jesse G, McLean, VA
“Chris is fantastic! We have had the pleasure of his services and company for two special occasions, and each time it was wonderful. Chris goes out of his way to make sure that everything he puts on your plate is delicious. Have food dislikes/intolerances/allergies? No problem! There is a reason “perfect” is in his company name. Sign up with Chris for your next event, and you can find out for yourself.” – Donny F, Frederick, MD
“Chris prepared a special birthday dinner for seven in a home setting. He was creative in accommodating the likes and dislikes of each person, and their food sensitivities. Nonetheless, he served an exquisite meal, and was accessible in explaining each course and answering questions as asked. An enjoyable evening for all!” – James B, Gettysburg, PA
“This is the first time we had a chef come into our home and cook us dinner. It was a fun and fantastic experience. Chris was very friendly and shared a bit about his career as a chef and answered our questions, all while preparing the meal. He had several food choices that he needed to work around per the questionnaire we filled out before he decided on a menu. I was impressed with what he came up with. Chris showed up a little early to begin his meal preparations and explained how long the entree would take, giving us up dates along the way. He asked us how we wanted our meat cooked and then cooked it to our specifications perfectly. He set the table with dishes, silver-ware, place mats and napkins he brought with him. Then set out the “snacks” and salad we enjoyed while he prepared the meal. He shared with us how he prepared the foods we had not eaten before, a learning experience for us all. Everything he prepared looked good and was delicious. Once the meal was completed he cleaned up everything, leaving our kitchen as he found it. Chris certainly went above and beyond my expectations. I would recommend him to others.” – Tina R, Frederick, MD
“Chris did a fantastic job with my mom’s in-home birthday celebration. The service was stellar and food was delicious. Chris corresponded very promptly as well leading up to the event which I found incredibly helpful too. Would definitely use Chris again!” – Ashley D, Boonsboro, MD
“We had an unbelievable evening with Perfect Little Bites. Having Chris come into our home and prepare a delicious, gourmet meal was truly outstanding. Chris takes care of everything (including the dishes!) which allowed us to enjoy a wonderful restaurant experience in our home. And his menu choices were excellent. After exchanging information about our likes and dislikes, he prepared a terrific menu for us. We would highly recommend Perfect Little Bites for any special occasion, or as a unique gift option. Thanks Chris!” – Chris B, Falls Church, VA
“My 7 year old ditched his iPad to let Chris showed him how to make pasta. What a fantastic way to spend Friday evening with my family. Chris was very kind, thoughtful and professional. We will do this again!” – Rolando G, Frederick, MD
“Chris was wonderful to work with! He designed a menu for my Mom’s birthday based on a profile I filled out for her, and let us stand with him in the kitchen asking him questions while he prepared our meal. It was an individualized, unique experience that I would recommend to anyone – whether it is for a date night, or for a group of your friends. Sometimes it’s easy to run out of gift ideas, or date ideas, and Chris’ unique Perfect Little Bites experience allowed us to give my mom a special gift that will carry on beyond that night. Chris provided us with recipes, and assured us that if we had questions after our evening together, he would be there to support and help us with any thoughts/questions we may have going forward. I can’t recommend him and his business enough! Thanks, Chris!” – Kelsey H, Frederick, MD
“Chris came over on Father’s Day and cooked a wonderful, quiet, intimate date-night dinner for my husband and I. He came over at 6:30 and worked on our first course while we put our children to bed. He was prompt, and warm immediately! When we were finished upstairs, he had our dining room table set for us and served us our snack course- which was AMAZING! The avocado tartare was out of this world. He paced us wonderfully, checked in to see how we were doing, and made us feel like we were in our own little restaurant. The food was delicious!! He left us all of the leftovers and extras and now we have lunch for a couple of days! Honestly, it was the best experience. Having young children, it was the perfect date night without having to pay a babysitter and leave the comfort of our own home. He cleans up and leaves the kitchen spotless. We are already having him back a month for a birthday dinner. Lastly, he followed the next day sending us all of his recipes from the meal we had. It was a great experience and I highly recommend! One more thing – he is so fun to converse with and my husband and I enjoyed his company immensely. Thank you Chris!” – Alexandra S, Baltimore, MD
