When we fed 300 ROTC soldiers at the Air Force base in Syracuse. Chef Brian Isbell made sure to add an extra label to show how much we love our soldiers. Happy Memorial Day everyone.

Day off FINALLY. What's everyone doing today in CNY? No plans but need to get out of this house!

Well the whole “I’m not going to cook today” lasted a short 7 hours. That’s ok. Family kabob night for everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying there weekend.

Do you remember? Early 80's on the Northside, 500 block of Catherine St. Filled in our fridge with "purple drink." Recipe: One Flavor Aid grape packet (10 cents each lol), 4! Oh yeah FOUR cups of sugar, fill with water and stir. Boom, a whole day's worth of "purple." Who else remembers?

Two more days left. I want to thank all my followers for your votes. Please consider me while voting.

Last night's Personal Chef Experience client just sent me these photos. They were blown away with their experience. Safe travel back to NC Ms. Ashley.
AIR BnB, VERBO, SPA OWNERS ADD MY SERVICE TO YOUR RENTALS! I hear it over and over and over. “You cook AND clean!”
They don't want to shop, cook, or clean, believe me.

I can’t thank Vanderkamp enough for making me their featured Chef and offer my Personal Chef Experience to all their guests. Our partnership now features Chef Brian's Meal Prep meals in the Kempwick Commons area to also offer guests. Out of 13 beautiful cabins they have, 3 of them wanted PCE’s for 5/11. We’re only one team & booking fills fast!
Again, AirBnB & VRBO owners, wineries, spas, and other businesses add my Personal Chef Experience to your guests. Believe me they want to stay and not shop, prep, cook, & clean. Plus I bring all plating & serving.

That being said, I’ll be at the STUNNING Boathouse this weekend. Mom, Grandma & child are popping in for the weekend from Charlotte to visit some Syracuse friends. They chose Vanderkamp to get away from all that “city noise” for the weekend. Of course who wants to cook!? A Personal Chef Experience? They clicked add to package hehe. They’ll be horseback riding until 6pm, we’ll arrive early with everything. They’re served elegantly while they relax and enjoy the menu we built. Here’s pics of the Boathouse, the menu and you know FOOD.

Course One
Shrimp Cocktail w/ Jumbo Lump Crab Meat
Roasted Red Pepper Bruschetta w/ Baked Crostini

Course Two
Classic Caesar Salad

Course Three
Pan Seared Sea Scallops Wrapped in Canadian Bacon w/ a Maple Brown Sugar Demi Glaze
Grilled Asparagus w/ Lemon Mosto
Yukon Gold Dauphinoise Potatoes

Course Four

I went to an event last weekend at Freight Yard Brewing. Food and vendors, a great setup. I wish it wasn’t raining so guests could see what a great time the outdoor seating is. Check out these REAL GOOD sweet treats from Sweet On Chocolate.

Stopped into Cafe Bee You this morning figuring I'd get a plain coffee, 2 sugar, 2 cream. Ah you know what "when in Rome '' right. I read the description of all the offerings, and there are tons, A+ and chose the Bee Mallow. I asked Ms. Alison if she could hold back the marshmallow as I don't enjoy that flavor and she easily obliged. I took a sip and thought wow what a great taste. Espresso, caramel, white chocolate HOLD the toasted marshmallow.
I absolutely loved it and an inviting environment. The outside seating was beautiful and in full swing. Last time I was here I got the Wake Up Green Smoothie, loved it! This time Bee Mallow, loved it! That's 2 for 2 or 100%! Passed the test.
I'll return. Check it out in B'ville.
Like and share.

Those that know even though I'm a Chef I eat pretty darn plain. Steak & taters don't like spicy food. Pretty plain from what I cook. Tonight I'm going to Carrabba's. Looked over the menu. What do you order? I've never been.

My Personal Chef Experience is pretty intense & fast paced when it's go time. Timing, plating, serve are vital! Especialy serving 11. "Getting the shot" as I call it takes a back seat. Next time I'm at Vanderkamp at The Grace Manor cabin I'll try and get more pics. This weekend, 5/18 we'll be at VK at The Boathouse. www.chefbrianisbell.com
