Great catering experience!! Chef Luke did an amazing job with the sushi and the process was seamless. Highly recommend LK Culinary for anyone having an event.
Chef Luke provided amazing food, an awesome customer experience and great cooking lesson. This was my first time having a chef in my home, but it will not be the last! He served my party of 14 with amazing elegant gourmet appetizers, entrees and dessert! A great time was had by all, and I did not have to worry about cooking or clean up. Chef Luke did it all. I can't express enough how amazing he was and how wonderful his food is. It is 2 months later and we (us and our friends) still talk about it when we get together. Thank you Chef Luke!
Luke was hired for a bachelorette party in Dallas and we had a fantastic evening. We wanted to have an intimate dinner at the house to catch up and reminisce, which can be challenging at a crowded and noisy restaurant. Luke was quick to respond and easy to work with when coordinating the dinner. We chose the "Brazilian Evening" menu and it was nothing short of delicious. Thank you Luke for your professionalism! He arrived right on time, cooked and served a fantastic dinner, and left the kitchen spotless afterwards. HIGHLY recommend this experience!!!
Chef Luke hosted a Sushi night for 4 people for my mom's birthday this past August. We opted to stay in due to COVID-19 concerns for my mom and I must say we had the absolute BEST evening!! Luke prepared a fantastic menu with Thai chili dumplings, an assortment of nigiri and sashimi, and banana nutella wantons with caramel to finish off the night. My dad does not like sushi so he even threw a steak on the grill just for him! Everything was beyond amazing not to mention Luke was very personable and fun to have around the house for 4 hours from start to finish. He even cleaned the entire kitchen before he left!! I would highly recommend Chef Luke for anyone looking to have a fun dining experience at home that will be the talk of your family/friend group for months and years to come! Thanks Chef Luke!
Great dinner and awesome chef for a bachelorette party!
LK Culinary is delicious and Luke is so great to work with! His hands on instruction made the evening truly memorable!
We hired Luke for a small private dinner for a bachelorette party in Fort Worth. We had so much fun with Luke! We had a five course Mediterranean meal that started with chicken skewers and the best creamy feta salad I have ever had. Our courses followed with shrimp with braised kale and red peppers and a filet with couscous. We finished with a dreamy molten chocolate cake with cinnamon ice cream and blueberry compote. All of the ingredients were fresh and all of the courses were perfectly seasoned! Luke went above and beyond by serving our wine and leaving the kitchen cleaner than when he started. By the end of he meal, we were all brainstorming what events we could hire Luke for next! I would recommend him for any occasion! Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Luke at LK Culinary has catered a few parties for us. He does a great job with menu building and execution, as well as staying within a budget. I never have to worry about anything once Luke and his crew arrive. Everyone always raves about how wonderful the food is at our parties! LK Culinary will always be my first choice of caterer for future events.
We used Chef Luke for a bachelorette party to surprise the bride-to-be and it was the best decision ever. It was the highlight of our weekend, and she absolutely loved it. We all felt so spoiled and well worth every penny!!! Chef Luke was very flexible with our schedule and showed up with everything including the dinnerware. All of the ingredients were very fresh, and I really can't explain how delicious EVERYTHING was! It was such a treat to have someone cook and clean while we just enjoyed good conversation, good wine, and good food! Thank you, Chef Luke, for making it such a wonderful experience!!!
Luke catered a dinner party of 20+ people for me and did a fantastic job! He incorporated what I wanted into the menu ahead of time and made the day of effortless for me. He and his staff did a great job of serving my party and I would hire them again for cuisine and service. Looking forward to having him and team cater the next party I throw.
Our party of 11 booked chef Lukefor a bachelorette party dinner. He arrived on time, was very professional and engaged in conversation with us all evening. All food was cooked exceptionally well and tasted delicious. I’d highly recommend him!
I first contacted Luke to cater a seated dinner party with a cooking demonstartion at my house for 6 couples. I was so impressed with the food, service and professionalism! It made my evening so relaxing and enjoyable - which is often hard to do when you are hosting at your house. After the dinner his team cleaned the kitchen spotlessly as though there was never a meal cooked in my kitchen . Many guests of mine asked me for his number as they loved the food and service so much. I contacted Luke again a couple months ago to cater a heavy passed appetizers party for my husband's 40th birthday. He did an incredible job: from planning the menu with me, to arriving on time, and serving more incredible food to my guests. The party was a big success due to the execution of great food and great service! Again the kitchen was left spotless and my guests were left raving about the food. I'll definitely contact Luke again for my next dinner party! Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
Luke and his team were wonderful! He showed up on time, knew his way around the kitchen, cooked delicious food and he was personable, which is very important to us. We will definitely hire him again.
Luke was amazing. Arrived right on time. Food was absolutely perfection. Was very professional, and timed each course out just right. When he was finished , my kitchen was left in perfect condition. My friends are still talking about the experience 2 weeks later. Highly recommend.
This was an amazing experience from the time they arrived at my home! I wasn’t sure what to expect because I have never done anything like this before! I did absolutely nothing except show them where my kitchen was! They took it from there! They cooked, served and cleaned everything! The food was incredible and there was plenty of it! They were friendly and attentive to my guests! I would highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again! Kim Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
LK Culinary did a great job at our sushi night- everything was delicious. Thank you chef Luke!
The experience was phenomenal. The food and cooking lesson were truly special. The service was excellent including accomodations for some changes to support my guests, and the chef did great even when my dogs were trying to be assistants (lol). It was a wonderful evening and I will do it again. Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
LK Culinary completed a sushi catering event for large group that was a huge success. Luke and his team consistently bring quality ingredients and a fun atmosphere.
We used Chef Luke for a 50th birthday celebration. Not only was the 5 course French inspired meal amazingly delicious, Chef and his assistant were exceptional!! Everything was prepped in my kitchen, all we had to do was give him the space. They even included a hands on lesson! They cleaned EVERYTHING after as well! Our 16 friends were impressed and full at the end of the evening. 100% highly recommend. Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
I hired Luke as a personal chef for my significant other's birthday. He taught us how to make sushi rolls and made TOO much amazing food. We were full for two days and had all kinds of sushi leftovers. He brought everything he needed making it seamless and cleaned up afterwards. Highly recommend!
If you are looking for a private chef for dinner or a party in the Dallas area, you should consider Luke Keller of LK culinary. I found Luke on thumbtack. He had many high ratings so I reached out by email and he quickly responded. We talked over the phone about the party that I was planning, general numbers on size of party (20), what we wanted (courses with wine pairings from my wine library) and when. Luke responded with a sample menu that was pretty much exactly what we did. He was spot on with the suggestions. (Descriptions In attached pictures). Luke and his assistant arrived 3 hours early for prep and were great conversation as we prepared for the party. We changed the order of courses to better fit the wine progression and he was helpful and adaptable. They brought almost everything they needed. Luke used our oven, range, blender and countertop, but otherwise had everything they needed. They also brought plates. We had the wine glasses and disposable silverware. They served the dishes and poured the wine coursing for guests and we did it in casual fashion with people standing and mingling. Every course hit the mark and at least 3 people asked for his information to use him. I will add more details on the individual dishes later, but if you read the descriptions in the pictures know they were each executed very well. After dinner they cleaned all dishes and glasses as well as the kitchen. It was very refreshing late the next morning when we rolled out of the rack to survey the damage. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
Luke made everything so easy I was able to truly enjoy the event. He can manage his way around any kitchen without questions. Food was amazing. I really appreciated how he paced dinner so it was truly an event and not rushed at all. Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Chef Luke made the night at my sister’s bachelorette party & the food was out of this world! Positive Quality
Luke and his cuisine made our weekend perfection!
We hosted a small dinner party with a cooking lesson for my wife’s birthday and hired Chef Luke to prepare the meal for us in our home. The food was absolutely amazing: prime rib, sea bass, ricotta flat bread. A five star dining experience all prepared in our home! Luke engaged us and was happy to share tips and techniques. Luke provided the wonderful dining experience and entertainment for the evening. I would highly recommend Luke for your personal chef or catering needs.
I hired Chef Luke for a Partyand they were amazed at the quality and quantity of food he prepared. They texted me several times during the dinner and stated "his food is absolutely AMAZING!" His food is "INCREDIBLE."
Exceptional service from beginning to end. I was extremely impressed with Chef Luke’s professionalism, communication and the outstanding Thanksgiving meal he prepared.. We visited family for Thanksgiving and we wanted a carefree day spent visiting family vs having to spend the entire day in the kitchen. Luke and his team provided everything we needed for an unforgettable Thanksgiving. The quality of food dishes he prepared were some of the best Thanksgiving food I’ve ever had. Our entire group were blown away by his preparation and culinary skills. We will definitely use him and his team again when we return to TX. Thank you so much to Luke, you truly made our Thanksgiving one we will never forget.
Steve is a very special chef. His talent is matched by his personality. It was a pleasure to have him in our home and to help us celebrate a special birthday. The food was great as was the overall experience.
Wow, what an unforgettable dining experience! Chef Luke absolutely wowed us with his culinary prowess.Our evening was elevated to new heights as we indulged in the sumptuous delights he prepared. Our favorites were the Short Rib Bourguignon and the Seared Scallops with Lobster Cream. First and foremost, the Short Rib Bourguignon was a revelation. The tenderness of the meat, paired with the rich, velvety red wine sauce, created a harmonious marriage of flavors that left us craving more. The melt-in-your-mouth texture of the short ribs was a testament to Chef Luke's expertise in slow-cooking, resulting in a dish that exceeded all expectations. The Seared Scallops were a true delight and showcased Chef Luke's impeccable attention to detail. Each scallop was flawlessly seared to perfection, maintaining their natural sweetness and delicate texture. Now, let's talk about the Lobster Cream. This velvety, luxurious sauce was the perfect complement to the scallops, infusing them with a burst of flavor that lingered on our taste buds. The addition of lobster to the cream sauce was a stroke of genius, creating a dish that we simply could not get enough of. Throughout the evening, Chef Luke demonstrated not only culinary excellence but also a keen eye for plating. Each dish was presented like a work of art, enticing us not only with their aromas but also with their stunning visual appeal. Moreover, Chef Luke's professionalism and warmth added to the overall experience. He took the time to explain each dish, its ingredients, and the cooking techniques used, which allowed us to appreciate the depth of his culinary expertise. In conclusion, hiring Chef Luke as our personal chef for the evening was the best decision we could have made for this special occasion. His Short Rib Bourguignon and Seared Scallops with Lobster Cream creations were nothing short of extraordinary. If you're looking to elevate your dining experience and treat your taste buds to an unforgettable journey, Chef Luke is the culinary artist you need! Thank you, Chef Luke, for an unforgettable evening of gastronomic delights. We are already eagerly anticipating our next culinary adventure with you!
Chef Angel was amazing!! Food was absolutely delicious and the group of us (10) can’t stop talking about our experience.
Chef Jeff is excellent! He came to our house twice now for parties to cook for us and both times the food was amazing! He does a great job and he is very nice!
Steve is a very special chef. His talent is matched by his personality. It was a pleasure to have him in our home and to help us celebrate a special birthday. The food was great as was the overall experience.
LK Culinary was awesome all around! We contacted them about 10 days before our event and Luke was very flexible and able to accommodate special menu request. Chef Roger was extremely professional and cooked great food. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking to host a dinner and not worry about shopping, cooking or cleaning.
We were so fortunate to have Chef Steve of LKCatering provide a wonderful dinner for my banner year birthday! So many special touches, the food was fantastic, and it was great to wake up to a clean kitchen after the party! I will definitely use LK Catering again, and have recommended them to many friends.
Luke was amazing! We hired him for a private sushi dinner event and everything tasted so good and was really fresh. We could tell he used high quality ingredients. We will be sure to reach out to him for our future events and catering needs.
We had the absolute pleasure of hiring Luke for a private dinner, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented, thoughtfully crafted, and bursting with flavor. From the first bite to the last, you could taste the quality and passion behind their cooking. Beyond the food, Luke and his team were professional, warm, and incredibly attentive—creating a seamless, elevated dining experience right in our home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a truly memorable and luxurious meal!
LK Culinary provided us with a fabulous meal for a special event! The service and execution was top notch. We got to sit back and enjoy a delicious meal without any planning or clean up. Will definitely use again! Thanks Luke!
LK Culinary provided a luxury dinner experience in the comfort of our home. Chef Luke is very professional and a great communicator. He made finalizing the menu a very stress-free experience. All the dishes were prepared beautifully, the ingredients were fresh, and the taste was delicious. We look forward to inviting LK Culinary to help with our private dinners and events again!

We have used Chef Luke's team twice now. Both were great, high end experiences. Great way to have fine restaurant dining in your own home for a larger group. As host you can relax and enjoy the food and service and visit with friends and family.
Luke did a great job cooking for our group. We asked him to walk us through the preparation as he made sushi and we learned a ton. The only problem was that we ate too much because everything was so delicious. Great experience for a birthday dinner.

I hired Luke for my birthday celebration for a special sit down sushi dinner with my family and friends. He arrive earlier than I expected which was amazing and set up everything before the time I wanted to start the dinner. His server and him were so professional and patient because it took sometime to get everyone situated. When it come to food the fish was very fresh, every ingredient was amazing quality, everyone raved about every single dish, and he gave us more food than I expected so everyone had their fill and there were still leftovers. I also did not have to worry about any clean up and his prices for private events were more than reasonable. If you need a private chef for anything this company is amazing and I will always recommend them.
Chef Luke was so, so great and made our party truly memorable. He prepared a delicious meal for 19 guests and was super easy to work with in the process. I cannot recommend his team enough and already look forward to hiring them for a future dinner, soon!
Chef Steve came and provided us an excellent Michelin quality dinner. Each course kept hitting better. My favorite was definitely the sushi and the chef made a cilantro sauce that was to die for and made us some incredible cocktails as well! Amazing 10/10 would def do again!
Had an absolutely lovely 5 course meal for our Rat Pack themed dinner party. Chef Jeff communicated with me a few day days before the event to make sure he had all the details. He was on time and everything was seamless. The portions were huge (much larger than expected) and the food was delicious. Everyone’s favorite was definitely his spin on pasta fazool. My kitchen is super small, and I was amazed that he was able to do 5 courses for 8 people. Chef Jeff timed everything perfectly. We had the exact right amount of time to eat and didn’t wait long between courses. Miguel was our bartender and he made amazing drinks. I had a cocktail pairing for every course and he had the drinks ready and served them promptly with every dish. After everything was finished, my kitchen was returned to a clean state with nothing left for me to do. Our glassware rentals were washed and put back in the bins and my personal silverware was rinsed and put in the sink. I had to prep absolutely nothing and clean up absolutely nothing. They made it too easy. We will certainly be using this company again and requesting Chef Jeff and Miguel. Could not recommend them more. Wish we had taken pictures of the food, but everyone was enjoying themselves so much we completely forgot.
We had a wonderful evening with friends and a delicious meal prepared by Jeff. Jeff’s wife Becky was also on site to help pass fresh sushi & nigiri for our guests. From start to finish, the process and communication with Luke & his team was phenomenal. We had such a wonderful time, we all started planning our next get together with Luke & his team to prepare our one of a kind meal. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience & will absolutely book Luke & his team without hesitation in the future.
Chef Luke created an unforgettable dining experience in my home! The multi-course meal was absolutely delicious, and beautifully and thoughtfully presented. He took the time to explain his techniques, share cooking tips, and answer all of our questions, which made the evening both fun and educational. On top of the outstanding food, Chef Luke was professional and personable throughout—and he left the kitchen spotless when he was done. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly special private dining experience!
Chef Angel was amazing! The food was incredible! He was very professional and timely. Will definitely be using this company again!
