“Lionel is a masterful chef who can make a diverse array of menus for any occasion. Everything he creates is delicious - he is French after all! Lionel will also organize every other part of an event that might be required, and brings along a great crew of competent, pleasant , and efficient colleagues as cooks, servers, bartenders - all as needed. I have worked with many chefs and caterers over the years - Lionel is the best, as I am sure you will agree.
