Lorn Randall

I was planning a 70th Birthday celebration for my husband and was fortunate to have found Chef Lorn from Round Trip Kitchen. We started corresponding months before the event. Chef Lorn helped to plan an amazing dinner which he customized to include 1 vegan guest and one GF guest. After we planned the menu and timing for the event, Chef Lorn made me feel confident that it was going to be a memorable dinner. It was so nice to not have to worry about anything! From the early planning through the night of the event, Chef Lorn exceeded all expectations. He arrived promptly. And since we were staying at an VRBO he even brought the dinnerware. He was accompanied by his Sous Chef Barbara. (We are grateful because she was willing to take some group family photos before the dinner began). We had several little ones that we needed tending to while the adults enjoyed the private dinner. Chef Lorn was able to bring a caring ‘sitter.’ The kids adored Miss Ana. Chef Lorn is very professional but also very kind. He created an exquisite meal with beautiful presentation. He provided a warm and relaxing environment and left the kitchen spotless! If you are considering a private chef for a special occasion, don’t hesitate to contact Chef Lorn…you will be so pleased.

We recently attended the Mardi Gras party at Cante Ao Vinho where Round Trip Kitchen was serving gumbo with rice and hush puppies. The food was authentic and delicious with just the right amount of spice! Lorn and staff were friendly and gracious which added to the fun and relaxed atmosphere of the night. We saw Lorn take the time to visit each table, making sure everyone was enjoying the evening. Looking forward to RTK's next event!

Thank you Round Trip Kitchen for taking our Superbowl Party to the next level for the second time! I especially like how Chef Lorn waits to see which teams will play in the big game to create a menu that reflects the regions those teams represent. Anticipating what deliciousness is arriving is half the fun! Some of this year's Fan Favorites... BBQ Seahawk Wings New England Clam Chowder K-Town Short Rib Tacos Seattle Smoked Salmon Dip The thoughtful, delicious, and generous presentation makes everyone comfortable loading up their plates, having seconds, and just enjoying themselves. This professional personal Chef takes care of the real heavy lifting for the Party making hosting stress free. Just a wonderful time, free to visit and enjoy family and friends. Donnie and I highly recommend Round trip Kitchen for any size celebration.

As an unforgettable birthday surprise for our sister Kathy, Chef Lorn created a beautiful experience from start to finish—thoughtful, professional, and incredibly talented. Every dish was delicious and perfectly timed, and the presentation made the evening feel truly special. You could feel the care and passion in every detail. Thank you, Chef, for turning a birthday into a memory we’ll be talking about for a long time. If you’re looking for an amazing chef, we highly recommend his services!❤️

Great food, excellent service. Every dish was superb in every way. I've known Lorn for many years and he is an amazing chef and great man. Will definitely be using his services in the future!!

Chef Lorn stands out for his dedication and professionalism, both in the kitchen and with clients. His natural ability to connect with people, combined with his passion and creativity, shines through in every dish he prepares. Round Trip Kitchen is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a chef who not only delivers exceptional food but also elevates the occasion by engaging with guests and creating a truly memorable culinary experience.

Excellent chef providing top-of-the-line service. Very professional and accommodating. If you want a down-home, relaxed experience or an elegant seven course meal, this is who you call. You will not need to spend one minute worrying about anything. Round Trip Kitchen will see to it that your every need is met. The food he prepares is an event in and of itself, speaking from personal experience. You will not be disappointed. I would give 10 stars if Google would let me.

Cooks for my wife and I frequently. The food is always delicious. Highly recommend Round Trip Kitchen for catering.

Hired them to cater an intimate evening for 10 at my lake house. They were professional and an absolute breeze to deal with. I didn't have to think, he just showed up and made some phenomenal dishes that my whole party enjoyed. We didn't have to argue about where to eat and who's driving home. It was all delicious and exquisite. It was also cheaper than 10 people going out and getting drinks and multiple dishes at a mediocre restaurant. Very reasonable for the entire experience. I would jump on this while they're still affordable!

We had Lorn come to prepare a family dinner of 15 for my grandmothers 90th birthday. Lorn provided menu option and pricing with plenty of time. He provided side options as well as appetizers that he and his assistant had walked around serving to us. It was such a special occasion and we were so thrilled with the experience. He truly made it feel special. And everything WAS CLEAN when he left. Dishes were all loaded in dishwasher or hand washed and counters wiped. As a host- this was such a blessing! He offered to provide dishes etc but we had some already picked. This was an all inclusive experience and I highly recommend.
