“It’s Your Money – Spend It In Scottsdale.”
A Childhood Passion for Cooking. Scottsdale, Arizona, resident, Will Turner, has always loved cooking. As a child, he was the kid who was adding new and interesting toppings to his frozen pizzas at 8 years old. Will’s first job was at a small seafood restaurant in South Carolina. At age 15, he was cutting fish, peeling shrimp, and washing dishes. One day a line cook didn’t show up, so Will had to jump in and cook. He loved it!
A Successful Start in the Kitchen. Will worked in restaurants from that point on. He found that he was really good at it, and his bosses noticed. At age 16, Will was managing a McDonalds restaurant. The restaurant business is a hard life though, so every now and then, Will would get burned out and try a different career. He later earned a business degree and tried construction, but nothing Will tried was as fulfilling as cooking.
Eventually, Will tried catering and found that it gave him an opportunity to cook for people and make them happy, but without the stress of a line cook in a restaurant. That is when Will’s career really took off!

Chef William Turner Reviews
“Great evening! Will was patient with the fact our Arbnb rental had problems with the air conditioner in the kitchen. He was fun to be around, helpful and on top of it all made us a great meal. From starters to salad, great amazing salmon main, sweet perfect desert it was a memorable moment. Good luck Will! Thanks for making our Scottsdale vacation even better!”—Chris B.
“Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The food was incredible, conversation incredible. Just an all around awesome time. I searched for a chef in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area. I picked Will based on the reviews. But they don’t do him justice. He made us laugh all night, had just the right amount of interaction, and even stayed after our meal to hang out before we called it a night. I can’t say enough good things about him. We had him over to cook for our girls weekend. Of all of the vendors we used, he was the best by a landslide. If you are considering a chef in the area, look no further than Chef Will. I assure you, you will not be disappointed!”—Marissa T.
“Such an awesome night with Chef William! He was hired for a group of 8 women for a Bachelorette dinner and everything was perfect. He got along with all personalities and made it a fun experience for everyone. The food was nothing short of amazing, we didn’t want it to end! He arrived on time, brought everything he needed and cleaned up as well. Highly recommend!”—Gabbi R.
“We had a great dinner with Chef Will! Because we had a large group (18 people) who were flying in the evening of the private dinner, we decided to go with a more casual option. Chef Will was quick to suggestion a made to order pasta station, which not only let us mingle as we pleased, but also meet a wide variety of dietary restrictions across the group. The food was delicious! Plus Will is so nice and made it a fun night for all of us. We had a great time and would highly recommend!”—Supriya S.
“For the second time this year, Chef William catered my corporate event in at a lovely home in Desert Mountain, Scottsdale. There were 20 high level executives attending an all-day meeting so William prepared, cooked and served 3 meals that day which were all fantastic and had rave reviews from the guests (including the prime rib, grilled salmon and chocolate cake!). The highlights were as follows: he arrives on time, the food is fresh, original and very tasty, his staff is super energetic and efficient and he always delivers service with a smile. I highly recommend Chef William for your next event and look forward to working with him again before he’s fully booked next year!!”—Holly P.
