PERSONAL CHEF SERVICE
About Chef Ray:
I am originally from the New Orleans area, but I have lived in Sevierville, TN for the past eleven years. Due to my Cajun heritage, I love to cook in a wide variety of flavors and styles, from complex gourmet meals to simple comfort foods.
I have attended Walters State Community College, completing culinary courses to advance my cooking skills. I am also a graduate of the Culinary Business Academy and a Premier member of the United States Personal Chef Association. I am licensed, fully insured, and ServSafe trained. I have also had the pleasure of teaching a Cajun cooking class for Walters State Community College.
While working as a chef, in two Triple A, Four Diamond bed and breakfast/restaurants, I have served others and presented them with meals to tantalize their taste buds. I desire to do the same for my clients, as a personal chef.
My passion is to serve and delight others with food. My goal is to present to my clients a taste of Heaven on earth. Many are longing for more than what they have and I hope to accomplish this by bringing the unseen into reality. I'm here to cater to your needs.
"I look forward to serving you!"

Ray, We can't thank you enough for the wonderful dinner and conversation.
It's something my sister and I will never forget!

We definitely want to get with you again during our stay. We enjoyed getting to know you.

Hi Lisa and Chef Ray, I would like to thank you so much for making our Valentine's Day dinner a huge success.
The food was excellent, but the warm personality and heart of Chef Ray really won me over. Everyone was
amazed at the value of the meal versus the service we received. Chef Ray is the greatest. He was very
professional and talked with everybody and made us all feel comfortable. I loved the idea that he shared
his recipes with us. Thank you so much. This was the best idea to have Chef Ray come to our cabin and
we will use your services next year when we return and will recommend you to all of my friends that
visit the Gatlinburg area. May God continue to bless your family and your business.
I know He will because you two put your heart and soul into it. Thank you!
~Tesa Brown
Hello. We ENJOYED EVERYTHING. Again, everything was great. Look forward to using you all again.

Ray: What a wonderful experience, from the first moment you welcomed us to giving us extra time to get ready
for dinner. Then, what a treat we had when dinner was served. The food was GREAT, the presentation
wonderful and the opportunity to talk with you an extra treat. Thanks for making our stay in
Tennessee special with two wonderful meals and great conversation. See you next time!

Again, may you have much success in your business. Blessings to you and your family.

How thoughtful you were to accomodate Mark's diabetic needs. God bless you.
~Mark and Janet Hays
We've had two meals prepared by Chef Ray now, both surpassing our expectations. Each time his menu recommendations were perfectly on target. His dishes were excellent in preparation, presentation, and oh yes,
did we mention they tasted great. His blending of flavors was imaginative and creative without being
overpowering. We can't wait until our next opportunity to enjoy Chef Ray's creations.
~Deborah and Steve Hansard
