The Critics

"Nothing is greater to me than feedback. I am always looking for ways to improve myself, my food, my art and demonstrations. As a person, a chef, and human-being, I am always learning, and will never stop. I look to the sky and all I see is limitations. I look to the universe and all I see is potential. I will stop at nothing and will give every bit of energy I have into making the slightest bit of difference in the world. No matter the time, length or cost, something as simple as a smile will make the world a better place. Thank you for all the continued support throughout the years." -Chef Daniel Bartlett

“This man has the ability to get a standing ovation with every show he does! Chef Dan was able to captivate everyone during a business conference and bring life to the meeting. Employee’s spirits were lifted up and energetic during and after his demonstration. There was not a single person in the room that was not laughing! He is the next Jim Carey and Willy Wonka, taking food to levels no one else can do but him!” –Mrs. Francis

“Dan is an inspirational individual telling his story of food and passion behind his love and art for food. He takes the audience through a journey and transforms the room into a world of experiences and his life conjures. It is as if Dan has the ability to take away the walls of the room and bring his guest’s into his “film” of life.”-Mr. Claymor

“It’s not just food. Chef Dan takes his food demonstrations to the next level no one else is doing. His approach to bring the audience into the demonstration is remarkable. Individuals are not just an audience; they become a part of his show. Chef Dan is THE man for the job.”- Mr. Taylor

“Dan is not just a chef; he is an innovator and pure mentalist in the sense of food. On stage, cooking or not, he can give the most heart-felt, driven, intoxicating speech to inspire the uninspired. His words are motivating and speak of what kind of person he truly is. Whether he is on stage cooking, giving a motivational speech, or just purely enjoying holding a conversation with a complete stranger, Dan really has a way with words.”- Mrs. Robinson

“Chef Dan is an energetic and a comedic entertainer. His ability to transform a show into a culinary adventure is a revelation. His life stories are personable, educational and captivating during his cooking demonstrations! Dan is one of the leading chef entertainers within the industry, surpassing many of the national talents to date!” - Mr. Johnson

“I was a little skeptical prior to Chef Dan’s cooking demonstration. I was concerned that it would be targeted just to cooking and recipes and in a sense, boring for viewers. The show was amazing and covered many areas such as skills, techniques, and stories that the audience could enjoy as well as pure entertainment. Not only is he part chef, he also holds characteristics of acting, comedian and insanity to pull of one of the greatest culinary shows anyone could possibly be a part of. Chef Dan was able to interact with the audience and put a smile on everyone’s face with his wit and humor. He is truly a professional targeting specific topics of discussion during his demonstrations and most importantly, passionate about his love for food and humor.” – Ms. Derby

“There are so many words that would describe this chef. My personal careful selection of words would consist of professional, consistent, energetic, talent, incomparable. This talented up and coming rising chef really defines the competition. He is second to none. Watch out Food Network”- Mr. Harris
