This in home culinary experience was above and beyond our expectations! The entire evening was wonderful, starting with scratch blood Orange margaritas to the 3-course southwest dinner prepared by Chef Mort. Every course was absolutely delicious. Chef is a pro, and I highly recommend this experience!
