Put yourself into the capable hands of personal chef Mark Tafoya. He’ll present his delicious food to your happy guests, while you are free to socialize with guests. I highly recommend him for a wonderful evening.

The Remarkable Palate is not only DELICIOUS and DELECTABLE, it is also DARING and best of all, completely DONE for DINING. Mark and Remarkable Palate are FIRST RATE all the way!

-Jon Wilner (Owner, Island Properties of the Pines)

Mark you are an honorable man and I appreciate it. Integrity will take you far in life and career. this is what life has taught me over and over again. We had a wonderful time and I thank you for being able to “tune in” so perceptively. We had a very ambitious menu and you did a great job of coming up with it. The Adobo sauce is outstanding. Next time you whip up a batch, please call me so that I can have some!

-Susheel Kurien

We really LOVE your cooking!

I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for making my husband’s 40th birthday celebration so memorable. As amazing as your website is, it doesn’t even do justice to your sensational culinary talent. Putting aside the fabulous flavors of each dish, the presentation and service was wonderful and each element of your services demonstrated how much pride you take in your work. The added bonus was that we ended up with enough left over to enjoy the next evening! I’ve already passed on your information to friends and family. Thanks again.
