Testimonials

“Kevin was responsible for customizing menus and preparing delicious and comforting meals for my guests and family. I hosted a family event and New Year’s Eve gathering with friends and I hired Chef Kevin for both.  Everyone was blown away by how amazing the food was. Chef Kevin arrives to work prepared, organized and with a great attitude. Each meal is meticulously prepared with great presentation. Kevin is as kind and honest as you could hope for which is most important to me and my family.’’  

~ Brian

 

 “Chef Warren distinguishes himself with the immense care he puts into the preparation of his food, from ingredients to execution. Chef Warren is highly skilled and he has a great ability to take familiar dishes and take them up a level. For example, his mashed potatoes are the best I have ever had.’’

“Chef Kevin Warren’s menu has been thrilling crowds at Bird’s Nest Jazz Party—a monthly concert series—for the better part of a year now. We serve his gourmet small plates at the break between sets. I always ask for fresh and seasonal and Chef Kevin always delivers with a combination of tastes and textures that are mouth watering, creative and crowd-pleasing! I have received so many compliments from people who want to know how he manages to deliver again and again and I just tell them “Well, that’s Chef Kevin’s secret!” We are so proud and pleased to have him as part of Bird’s Nest Jazz Party.”

~ Cathi Walkup, Bird’s Nest Jazz Party

~ Patti

 

“I have known Kevin for several years. I would like to take this moment to share a story of the time he came to my rescue. My younger sister aspires to become a chef. During her moment of confusion and finding her path, Kevin provided a way. My younger sister, whom I absolutely adore, was in limbo as many of us are at one time or another. I’ll never forget the look on my sister’s face when she would speak about feeling helpless, wanting—but being afraid she would not be able—to become a chef. I will never forget the day I picked up the phone and called Kevin. I was so embarrassed to disclose details of my personal life, but I was desperate and I wanted my sister to feel encouraged and know that there was a way. He invited us to come meet him in San Francisco at the restaurant where he was working at the time. “No dream is too big!” he told her. She walked into his restaurant one way and walked away with a new outlook, inspired and ready to pursue her career as a chef. The connection my sister made that first night meeting Kevin was profound and would forever change the course of her life. My sister left that night with an ally at her side! Thank you Kevin for affirming and encouraging my sister. You will forever be a member of this family!”

~ Alicia

 

“Sitting outside Chef Kevin’s apartment before my cooking class begins, I think back on all the new cooking skills I have learned and how much fun it is to be in the kitchen making an amazing meal for my family.”
