My Untamed Dining Experience
🔥 THE ART OF UNTAMED 🔥
Is to challenge what traditional Fine Dining is and what it could be with a fun but very comforting approach that is guaranteed to have you and your guests immersed in a non stop unforgettable Culinary Experience that all of my clients have said is far more greater than any Fine Dining Experience that they have ever had. I specialize in Nouvelle Latin Fusion Live Fire Cuisine with a Comfort approach. This truly is the epitome of Dinner Theater that will captivate you & your guests to be inspired beyond GREAT tasting food. LIQUID NITROGEN + FLAME THROWERS + BLINDFOLDS + FOAMS + BUBBLES & SMOKE are just part of the epic experience I want to provide you... The most important part of this is a Chef with the energy to match and execute Culinary Perfection... 🔥 My food is passionately curated by supporting Small Farms and growers who work tirelessly to help me create you the perfect Untamed Experience. I only use USDA PRIME House Dry Aged cuts of Beef, Air Chilled never frozen Poultry, Fowl & Seafood, Organic Vegetables. Fresh Hand Made Pastas, House Made Cultured Butter, Breads & Cheeses as well as Masterful Sauces, Fun Confections & Candies, Fresh House Churned Ice Creams & Sorbets. Only the best quality all the time 100% from scratch & always cooked on site. I BRING ALL THE FOOD, NAPKINS, DISHES, SILVERWARE AND PLACE SETTINGS FOR THIS DINNING EXPERIENCE 😎
MY GUESTS HAVE SAID MY DINING EXPERIENCE & MY FLAVORS ARE FAR GREATER THAN EVERY RESTAURANT ON THIS LIST.... ALL GLORY TO GOD🙏🙌

Experience My Untamed Flavors
Whether it's an intimate dinner or a grand event, Albert J brings his unique culinary vision to every Occasion
Albert J cooked one of the most memorable dinners I have ever eaten this last Saturday Eve....
At the risk of sounding pretentious, I have dined at every single Michelin starred restaurant in California, including the 3 starred French Laundry, Manresa, Atelier Crenn , Benu, Quince , Single Thread , The Restaurant at Meadow Wood and Aquerello ( which is beyond me how they even received one star ) I have also dined at the 3 starred New York restaurants Per Se , Eleven Madison Park, Le Bernardin and Jean Georges ( they recently lost a star I believe ) along with several Michelin starred restaurants in Italy including the 3 starred, And no 1 ranked in the world Osteria Francescana and at several other restaurants in France of the same caliber.
I am one 100% percent certain that Chef Hernandez belongs in the Michelin starred club. His dinner was creative with explosive , complex flavors , it was absolutely fantastic.! The only negative was my inability to contain my appetite for the very abundant size of the beautiful, presented portions . After our dinner , I reserved the chef for my upcoming birthday and Christmas dinners .
I highly recommend this talented chef without any reservations for a dinner to remember.
