In Their Words

What guests say about an evening with Story From The Kitchen.

We had the pleasure of having a meal made by Kobie, and every course of this meal was exceptional. My top favorites were: prosciutto & jalapeño crostinis, grilled halibut, and creamy cheesy risotto. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and it was clear that each dish was prepared with great care, skill, and a genuine love for the craft of cooking. It was a thoughtful, delicious meal from start to finish.

From start to finish, Kobie handled every detail with ease and genuine care, so all of us could simply relax and enjoy the evening. None of us had to lift a finger. It truly felt like private fine dining without ever leaving the house, in the comfort of my home, in our pajamas. I will absolutely be using him again.

If you're looking for more than just an incredible meal, this is the chef you want. His passion for cooking comes through in every dish he creates. What makes the experience truly special, though, is who he is as a person. He has a warm, genuine personality that instantly makes you feel like family. His food is exceptional, but it's the combination of his culinary talent and his authentic, caring spirit that sets him apart. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Kobie crafted the most beautiful cocktails, each garnished with fresh flowers and as stunning as they were delicious. Combined with wonderful food and even better company, it made for a truly memorable night. Highly recommend.

Where do I start? The crostinis had the perfect touch of sweet and savory, and the crab cakes were the best I've ever had. That flounder and risotto? Hands down the best that has ever met my lips. Everything was divine. I can't wait for round two!

What sets Kobie apart isn't the menu, it's the atmosphere he builds around it. He has a gift for blending longtime friends with newcomers so seamlessly that no one feels like an outsider. I've left his gatherings feeling more connected to the people there than when I arrived. If you want someone who can turn good food into a genuinely memorable experience, Kobie is exactly who you want.

The chef cooked several vegan dishes for my birthday: oyster mushrooms, vegan potato salad, coconut rice and peas, plantains, and mango cabbage slaw. Everything was well prepared and full of flavor. I will definitely be using the chef for future gatherings.

Kobie invited me to his home for a get-together, and that's when I first experienced his passion for using food to bring people together. I immediately felt at home, as we ate, laughed, and reveled in Southern hospitality. It's been almost two decades since that first gathering, and that very first one set the tone.

Kobie is a master of all things tasty, from main courses on the grill to scratch-made sides and sauces to crispy, flaky fish fresh out the fryer. Do yourself a solid, hire him, and thank me later.

I had the privilege to experience some of the best food this past 4th of July. Kobie served up BBQ ribs, jerk chicken, and red beans and rice. Every bite was amazing.

TomDallas, July 4th Celebration

Great evening, great company, and amazing chef.
