| - Although it seems redundant, I feel compelled to write a review about my experience, or lack thereof, with Chef Michael Denton. After carefully studying all social media sites and Yelp, I selecting Chef Michael based on his reviews and personal attention in his emails, and flexibility in his quote. I told him that we wanted to host an intimate Graduation Dinner for our daughter and, family that were coming in from out of state. The emails back and forth from Michael seemed very professional, and prompt. Never did it cross my mind that we would be a victim of Chef Michael's unreliability. Through email confirmations, PayPal deposit, and text messages, Chef Michael and I set the date and time two weeks in advance.
As the day came, we spoke 2 times via phone, and even 2 hours before the dinner (as I was entering ASU). Chef Michael told me he was at his house making the Crème Brulee desert, and then he would be heading over to our house. He said that we should go ahead and enjoy the night as he had everything under control. He even mentioned that he was a night owl and that we shouldn't rush home, which sounded great as this is a once in a lifetime moment and we wanted to get plenty of pictures.
As we were leaving the ceremony (approx 9:30pm), I checked my phone and Chef Michael was calling me. I answered in an excited tone, and asked him if he needed to know where things were in the kitchen and that we were about to head home. I had a really bad feeling when I heard him say the words "I think I'm lost! I really wanted to come and cook for you tonight, but.......". Then silence. I asked him where he was and that I could help with directions, but he seemed very uncommunicative, unapologetic, and quiet. I kept asking him over and over, "Where are you? Can you name a landmark?". He told me that his GPS was not picking up as his car is very low and it interferes with the signal. I told him we were on our way home now, and that we had very hungry people, with NO backup plan. After a couple of calls back and forth, it was very apparent that he had no intention of coming over to the house, or willingness for us to help him with directions (we had no idea where he was anyway).
HE COMPLETELY FAILED US!
We called every restaurant in town, but everything was fully booked or already closed. With utter humiliation, and feeling completely mortified we headed home and ordered pizza. We were all in complete shock that someone would do this.
I would NEVER give a recommendation of this so called Chef Michael. His food could be amazing, but unfortunately we will never know!
