"I cannot praise Judd Servidio and his talented team too highly! For the second year running, effortlessly (from my perspective!!) he has created food from heaven, arranged it creatively and, with the help of his charming crew, enabled me and my guests to eat, drink and be merry! At the end of the evening the house was spotless and such of the delicious delicacies that survived the onslaught were safely stowed in the fridge for us to enjoy all over again the next day. We need him back next December so make sure to leave a slot for us!" |

"Judd’s professionalism and attention to detail made my recent event a success. I wanted to make a lasting impression to over 100 of my best clients. Judd assisted in preparing a wonderful meal, recommended a beautiful location and allowed my attention to be focused on my clients. I was also very pleased with the quality of his staff and their willingness to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend Chef Judd for your upcoming event or private party." |

"I wanted to send you a quick thank you for the dinner for my parents last week. I talked to my mom a few days ago and she gushed and gushed about you and your food. She and her guests were absolutely floored with your preparedness, cooking, professionalism, and style. Like I said, they are real foodies and were so, so impressed. I think the biggest compliment to you might be the fact that I heard my dad ate every single thing you gave him and he can be pretty picky (especially with veggies). Thanks again. I know you made their 60th birthday's very special and unique." |

"What a great time we had the other night at Doug and Connie Lawyer's Home! The cuisine was unbelieveable! You did an exquisite and spectacular array of dishes and everyone is still raving about it. I will always remember my 50th birthday. You have such a special gift as being a chef. I wish you a successful future in all your endeavors! Thank you so much for making my birthday so wonderful." |

"Thank you so much for preparing such an incredible birthday dinner! It was better than any vegetarian meal we have had here in austin or anywhere. We have tried many vegetarian tasting menus at fine dining restaurants all over the U.S. and in Canada, and this was by far the most unique and tasteful...especially the truffle oil ravioli's, and the quinoa. We can't wait to do it again, maybe make it my birthday tradition (next time without the babies). Thank you again." |

"In an effort to avoid the usual bachelorette debauchery, a group of five fabulous Austin women hired Chef Judd to cook a multi-course meal at home for us. The evening far exceeded my expectations. Judd's attention to detail, careful planning and early food preparation ensured that our event was the perfect way to send our friend towards marriage. The symphony of flavors appealed to us all, and each of us marveled at not only how well the courses complimented each other, but also how each taste seemed to top the one that preceded it. Although spouses really missed a phenomenal meal, we are already discussing the next dinner that will include them. Of course, Chef Judd will execute it with the same deft skill and professionalism that are his hallmarks." |

"Our family of 12 just spent the Christmas week in the Bahamas and knew we needed a chef to make our stay more relaxed. We could not have been more pleased with this very capable and accommodating chef, who quickly became our friend. Judd took into account beautifully our dietary requirements, for it was very evident that he wished to please us. Key lime pie is a favorite with Bahamians so, of course, we asked Judd to whip one up. When a chef can cook like this on the spur of the moment, you know you have found someone special. We could not recommend him more highly. Everyone misses you already!" |

"Thank you so much for the lunch. Everything was excellent. I have been in the restaurant business most of my life and have worked with many fine chefs. I have been to cooking school in Italy and many, many places, but I liked your food much better than anything I have eaten in a long, long time. No one in Central Texas can equal you and I would think very few in any of the states can even come close. So, I guess I am trying to say that I have had a very memorable lunch. I have all intentions of attending a cooking school with you. Now, remember, you said you would share some recipes. Thanks again." |

"Chef Judd, a quick thank you for the team building activity that you led for my team. On many different levels, it was a fun and unique way to have interaction between my team members and with our management. Breaking into five groups of two with each pair preparing a dish required collaboration and communication skills. Also knowing we, as well as our management team, would be eating the end product heightened the desire to succeed. The activity was a success and I have you to thank. If workplace teams are looking for a team-building activity besides the commonplace ropes-type courses, I recommend working in your kitchen." |

"Just deliciously amazing. That was the extraordinary experience of having Judd passionately prepare and serve us dinner. Using all fresh produce from the great Victoria Markets, Judd whipped up a four course tantalizing dinner and dessert - which seemed to appear out of nowhere. I can still taste the food now! If I could have Judd permanently in my kitchen I would. Come back to Melbourne anytime Judd." |

"Coming from San Francisco, we thought we wouldn't be able to find the same quality of food here. Judd is not only better than any restaurant in Austin, he's better than most high-end restaurants and private chefs in gourmet cities around the world. His classics such as stuffed quail and creme brulee are the best in Austin, but his best creations are innovative hors d'ouvres such as curried dumplies in sake and almond crusted foie gras truffles." |

"You and your team were amazing on Friday! I can't believe how many compliments we got on the catering at this opening - you may have overheard my boss warning me that we've now raised the bar too high! Seriously, thank you so much for your generosity and hard work - please let me know if you ever need any recomendations - your food and presentation were the best! Look forward to working with you in the future!" |

"It was so much more than just a great meal, it was an opportunity to be in my home with my friends enjoying one of the best meals I have ever had with incredible service as well. We didn't have to worry about any of the details, the service, or even the clean up. I would highly recommend Judd to anyone who enjoys quality food, quality service, and quality fun." |

"I recently celebrated my newly-found bachelorhood with a Rebachelor Party. For the food, I wanted a five-star take on bachelor food. Chef Judd kicked it out with Truffled Mac ‘n Cheese; his take on Frito Pies and Ramen noodles in to go boxes; and for dessert, his version of Hostess Cupcakes and Fried Twinkies. The service and presentation was superb. Fantastic attention to detail. Can’t wait to use him again. " |

"The meal was just fantastic! My taste buds danced around like they were having a party. I looked forward to each course with anticipation of what it was and how it would taste. We all had a great time. Having fun and a good laugh are part of what makes Judd’s meals so special.†|

"Judd cooked a Christmas dinner for my whole house. It was the best food we ever had! Everybody couldn't even pronounce the food he cooked for us. The only thing I recognized was the turkey and the roast duck. Truly an awesome cook, great atmosphere, and wonderful food. Mr. Servidio is world class." |

"Judd has the ability to turn the simplest of foods into a gourmet delight, with astounding flavour and delicate presentation to make you feel like your eating out in a five star restaurant in your own home. He has an insight when considering your favourite foods and then creating it into a meal to be remembered." |

"Judd prepared a fine French meal of duck confit with beluga lentils; asparagus soup with white asparagus and squash blossoms stuffed with goat cheese and basil – served with love. It was truly a delicious feast and memorable evening." |

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed such a superb meal could come out of my kitchen. The combination of ingredients, whilst simple, created a meal that left me satisfied yet wishing there was more. All this and beautiful presentation!" |

"I was one of 20 aspiring cooks to attend the remarkable cooking class taught by Judd Servidio. We prepared a Mardi Gras meal from scratch. I walked away with a wonderful cooking experience, a gourmet meal, lessons in keeping it simple and fresh, but most importantly with a lesson in living – cooking can be fun! I will never forget Judd's teaching and collaboration for a culinary success!" |

"Thank you so much for treating us to a special sampling of your culinary expertise! We had a delightful time and felt so pampered. Of course, the food was delicious and I can truly say I have never had such a meal!" |

"Prior to Judd cooking for me in my home I did not think it even possible to prepare five star quality meals in my own kitchen. Judd amazed me with the quality that he prepared, surpassing that which you could reasonably expect in Sydney's big name restaurants. The stuffed quail and the braised lamb racks were simply sensational." |
