About

Scratch Test Kitchen is a farm-to-table private chef experience by Chef Dorian Southall. A pop-up dinner social, combined with teaching and consulting.

My style of cooking is complex and carefully crafted, yet has a touch of simplicity. Whilst the style is technical and the presentations elaborate, the food itself is not intimidating, having its roots in familiar classical themes. The textures, flavors, and ingredients complement each other rather than jostling for position on the tongue. Although everything is easily identified by the guest it still possesses that “WOW” factor. My food philosophy is based on a no-nonsense approach that products in season, when possible, should be offered on the menu for maximum flavor. Source great quality ingredients and let them sing.

    Chef Dorian and Susan are UNREAL. I met them during the pandemic and they were able to bring the service of a tasting menu to my home once a month. At the time there were a lot of dietary restrictions in my home and they were able to cater to EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! The food was not only delicious and paired eloquently with cocktails and wine but the company wasnt too shabby either! The personality the Chef Dorian and Susan bring to your table truly compliment the entire experience. Top 3 restaurants Ive ever been to and the best part was I never had to leave my home.

    Scratch Test Kitchen provided us with an elite in-home dining experience curated to our specific palates and preferences. Chef D and his partner Susan execute the preparation, plating, service, and clean up seamlessly. We originally hired STK for our anniversary dinner during the pandemic. Chef D provided us with a preview of the menu beforehand and answered all of our questions and even made modifications to the menu when we requested them. They arrived on time and were very respectful of our home and mask wearing. The food was incredible - plated beautifully and tasted even better. STK blew my socks off. I have since booked them for more than 10 other occasions and events. The quality of the food and service carries through whether its for 2 people or 12. If you want a bougie, fine dining experience in the comfort of your own home - this is it!
