Private Chef in Santa Monica, CA

Chef Tien Tran is a private and personal chef who comes to you, from Thermal, CA to the coast. In Santa Monica, that means your home, your vacation rental, or your place of business for your staff. He plans a custom menu, shops, cooks on-site, serves and cleans up.
