I had the opportunity to work with Chef Trent for a dinner party I recently hosted at my home and it was certainly a pleasure. He was very responsive to my initial message and within days I was able to schedule a meeting with him to plan a three course dinning experience. His attention to detail in determining which combinations of flavors would work well and his overall professionalism was quite impressive. Once we decided on the menu, he took care of the rest. He was very polite and engaging when interacting with guests. Still getting text messages on what a wonderful time everyone had at the event.
