Chef John

I’m Maurice “Mo” Farmer, and my career has taken me through world-class kitchens around the globe—from Dubai to Norwegian Cruise Line—shaping a style that’s confident, flavorful, and built for unforgettable experiences. I’ve been recognized with a James Beard Award nomination and have been featured on “Deadliest Catch,” along with multiple culinary nominations and placements that reflect my drive to keep pushing my craft. I thrive in fast-paced, high-volume environments while keeping every plate polished and intentional. Whether I’m creating a refined multi-course dinner or a lively buffet-style event, I focus on execution, pacing, and delivering food that feels both indulgent and personal.

What you can expect when you book me

I cook with passion and purpose

My favorite place to be is the kitchen—especially when I love what I do. I bring passion and culinary drive into every menu, every service, and every detail on the plate.

I built my foundation through formal training

I trained at Atlantic Cape Community College in Mays Landing, New Jersey, earning my Gourmet Chef credentials in 2004, and I’ve carried that disciplined foundation into every kitchen and every event I cook.

I deliver under pressure with smart execution

I’ve worked in high-volume restaurants, fine dining, and cruise ships, so I treat timing as a key factor. I adapt to the space you have and the equipment available, and I plan service so everything lands at the right moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 221.60 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook French, Chef's special, Seafood/Fish, Mediterranean, Japanese and Local. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
