I hired Chef Travis for my small wedding last October and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He’s hilarious and so easy to work with in the planning stages! I had one f...
amily member who’s allergic to everything and he went above and beyond to accommodate and still make an amazing meal for her specifically without affecting everyone else’s meals. All of my guests are still talking about the food and how fun it was having him and Bethany there almost a year later. It’s not just dinner it’s a whole experience, and nothing beats the experience all of my guests had! We plan on using Twisted Tines for every catered event we have in the future!
Travis and his team helped curate the best meal for my wedding reception. Chef Rob, Katie and Cory made the dinner and night special with their amazing food and service. They worke...

If you want your special event to be memorable, delightful, fun, and, most importantly, DELICIOUS, you 100% need to book Chef Travis. I hosted a Scottsdale Bach where the bride was...
looking for a unique menu with Asian flavors.
Multiple chefs in the area flat out refused to deviate from their standard to accommodate our requests, but Chef Travis was immediately up to the challenge. Every single interaction we had with him was nothing short of wonderful— from intro and planning phone calls going back 4 months to the day of the event, he genuinely makes you feel like you are an important, valued friend instead of simply another booking.
Other than being one of the most pleasant planning experiences I have ever had, the food BACKS IT UP. Our group has very high standards and multiple people are “foodies” but this meal was truly out of this world. More than one person finished saying that it was the singular best meal they ever had. I am personally still dreaming about the tempura Brussels sprout which was good enough to eat about 49 of alone.
Bottom line— please book Chef Travis/Twisted Tines and have the dinner of your dreams. I wish I lived in Scottsdale so that I could book him for any and all special events in my life, but I suppose I’ll just have to pay for him to travel to Dallas instead.

mean that lightly. Quite literally EVERY SINGLE DISH was delicious! You could really tell how passionate Travis was about his food and cooking. They are such kind people and we had a great experience. Travis shared each dish with us and explained how he prepared it which was very unique. It was a very special experience to say the least. 10000/10 would book again for literally any event. They cooked, cleaned, and left everything spotless. Thank you for an unforgettable evening! We loved you! ❤️

our dietary restrictions that was perfect for the occasion. The food was absolutely delicious! The chef used fresh, high-quality ingredients and took the time to cook everything perfectly. Chef Travis took great care in preparing each dish, and it showed. The food was beautifully presented, even though it was being cooked in a home kitchen. The chef took the time to make sure that each dish looked its best. Chef Travis and his team were able to cook the food in a timely manner, prepared dinnerware, and even though we had a large group always made sure we were okay. Chef Travis and his team was also a lot of fun to have around. He was friendly and engaging, and he made sure that everyone had a good time.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Chef Travis. He is a talented chef who provides excellent service. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a private chef for a special occasion.
