I hired Chef Franco and Nicki to prepare a tasting menu for 11 of my closest friends for my 60th birthday. It was absolutely amazing! Every course was “lick the plate” delicious and there was not a single dish that anyone didn’t care for. They handled an issue with our rental houses’s oven with complete professionalism and they went above and beyond to make our experience so special. Nicki has such a cute personality and she and Chef Franco work together seamlessly. They left us the leftovers which we all enjoyed the next day and they left the kitchen spotless. Overall experience was phenomenal in every way!

We've made this an annual tradition, and it never disappoints. The dinner cooked for our family was fabulous from start to finish — the food, the service, all of it. He makes the whole evening effortless for us, which is exactly what you want when you're trying to actually enjoy your family. We look forward to it every year. Highly recommend.

Loved everything about this experience! We had 20 people for a corporate event at an amazing VRBO in Inlet Beach. We wanted a private chef for our last night! Chef Franco and his assistant, Sharon, did not disappoint! Nikki was a DELIGHT to work with pre-event and post-event! Would highly recommend! Food was out of this world! Chef's kiss!

We highly recommend Chef Franco & Nicki to cater your special event. They made celebrating my Dad’s 90th birthday in Seaside one of the most memorable events of his lifetime! The food was delicious, from the spicy chicken skewers, the bacon wrapped and crab cake stuffed shrimp to the filet mignon and perfect grouper topped off with key lime pie! EVERYTHING was fantastic and very elevated. The little ones loved their Mac and cheese and chicken tenders as well. A plus is that they are so fun to be around! This was our 2nd time experiencing Nicki & Franco’s magic- Until we meet again- Cheers!💕

We used 30A Vacation Chef for three nights of our recent vacation, and I highly recommend them! Our party was 15 people ranging in age from 2-72, so we did not want to attempt going out to eat as a group. Everything Chef Franco made was delicious, from the taco bar, gyros, and seafood for the adults to the kid friendly foods he prepared for the littles. He and Nicki were so friendly and professional, and they make a great team. We will definitely use them again for our next big family vacation.

I found 30a Vacation Chef on line. So glad we did. Chef Franco and Nicki were amazing people to work with! And the food was DELICIOUS! Definitely recommend anyone in the Panama City Beach area who are visiting or wanting a special dinner even if you’re not visiting - to call Nicki and/or go online to their website. I wanted to plan for our family a “Welcome to Florida” dinner and picked the LOW COUNTRY BOIL. Dinner consisted of fresh Gulf shrimp, Southern style sausage, red potatoes and fresh corn. I added Snow crab legs and Skillet Mac-n-cheese. Oh my goodness! We ate and ate and still had leftovers! Oh and for dessert a delicious piece of Key Lime Pie! Highly recommend 30a Vacation Chef!
