Chef Arnone is one of those rare individuals capable of seeing both large and small picture simultaneously. He remains true to the "feel" of an event, while maintaining a firm hold on each detail. Working with Ken is to experience peerless diligence, imagination, and intuition. Chef Arnone's passion, professionalism and humor are infectious and true.

It has been my pleasure to work with Master Chef Arnone over the past 5 years. His culinary experience, style and diligence add not only to the culinary aspects of our restaurants but touch the entire organization. Rarely can someone impact a company and their resources as he has. I highly recommend working with him and of course enjoying his culinary talent.

There is no better way to host a dinner party at your house than with Chef Arnone and his talented staff. From the second I first spoke with him on the phone I began to relax. He really worked with us to create a special menu filled with our favorite foods presented in new ways and with interesting twists. It was a pleasure to witness the professionalism and precision with which his team works. When the first course was served, I felt like I was having dinner at one of the premier restaurants in NYC. The presentation was exquisite and the flavors and tastes were out of this world. Our guests enjoyed the opportunity to ask him questions about the meal and his techniques. Not to mention, my kitchen looked better when they left than before they got there! It was truly an incredible experience which I would highly recommend.
