There are very few chefs who can execute such a wide variety of cuisines and do them all well. After attending a wedding and a couple of other events catered by 220 Catering, I hired Chef David to cater one of my largest events. He prepared a very upscale all Irish menu. My guests and I were thrilled and delighted with the quality of the food and imaginative presentation. To everyone's surprise, he even arranged for a bagpipe player to announce each course as they came out. At another event with a much smaller budget, I asked him to prepare a taco bar. The variety of meats, salsas and sides, complete with a nacho cheese fountain were terrific. This will now be an annual event and some of the guests even booked him to do birthday parties etc. Everything was fresh and deliciouse. Chef David has worked with some of the best chefs in the world and at some of the top restaurants in Los Angeles, yet he is humble and talented enough to accomdate all budgets and tastes. What a shame that one of the reviewers missed out on tasting the wonderful food and service provided by 220 Catering because of a missed phone call. He is professional, courteous, charitable, talented and honest. Great food for any budget! read more

As we began planning our wedding I came to find how expensive, yet cheap caterers can be. And by "cheap" I mean doing things like serving food from aluminum pans and charging extra for slicing and serving cake. I wasn't about to spend $60 a plate for cheap sevice. Luckily, I found David Fouts at 220 catering when my sister stumbled across a good review for him on Yelp. 220 Catering took care of the catering at our wedding which took place last April, and everything was amazing! Not only did David provide a beautiful, filling spread of seared Ahi and grilled tri-tip accompanied by salads and veggies at an amazing price, he also hooked us up with a delicious taco bar for the rehersal dinner. David not only brought enough people to serve the dinner, drinks and cake, but he and his guys were incredibly professional and helped our day go off without a hitch. I highly reccomend 220 Catering. Seriously, the food tastes as good as it looks in the pictures, and the service is awesome! read more

We hired 220 Catering for our high school reunion party. We couldn't have been more impressed with Chef David Fouts and his services. Not only did he arrive early for prep set up, but he and his staff, stayed and cleaned...During the event, 220 Catering constantly monitored the levels of food and drink and mixed easily with our guests. The impressive table display for our Taco Bar was thoughtful and beautifully decorated....All of the food was extremely fresh and grilled and prepared on site...I must say his guacamole is the best I've tasted! Accolades were received all night and after the event by the guests that attended. The price quote we received was very competitive. We are extremely pleased and happy to have hired 220 Catering and most definitely will call upon Chef David Fouts and his wonderfully professional and trained staff again for any of our future personal or corporate soirees. read more

When you cook professionally the hardest part about choosing a catering company for your own wedding is the fact that you wish you could some how get married, create great memories all while making sure the food is perfect the way you have made it for so many other's big day. When I first met with Chef Fouts it was clear that he took pride in the quality of his food. I'm not going to lie, not knowing Chef Fouts outside of reviews I had read online made the control freak in me a little nervous on the big day. The end result is that all of my guests loved the flavors of the incredible food served. I had an incredible day not worrying about the food for once, spending my time wih my beautiful new wife Thank you Chef for being part of our day. You truly wen't above and beyond my expectations. I as well as my guests will most definately be calling you for our future events! SC Wedding read more

I had a great experience with David and his team for my August 7th, 2010 wedding. Not only did they cater my wedding day, they also catered my rehearsal dinner and a sunday brunch. The food was amazing, David worked diligently to design a menu that suited all of my needs, I wanted organic and locally grown choices. He worked everything I needed into my budget and went out of his way to make sure that our experience was perfect. I even had a celebrity chef present at my wedding and the sunday brunch and he was very impressed with the food and to this day many of our wedding guests are still commenting on how good the food and service was. This is a top notch catering company and I am a very tough critic. David is a very sincere and genuine man and a talented, creative chef. I highly recommend 220 catering and truly appreciate all of their hard work! read more

220 is probably the most established vendor we used, and there is a reason for that. The food at our wedding was incredible. We were too busy to really go after it, but several guests told us that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. David Fouts, who we worked with, welcomed any and every idea, and his execution was flawless. We wanted to start the guests off with pink champagne and raspberry mojitos. Done. We wanted some of the food to be buffet style and some of it to be served family style. Done. We wanted a rice krispie cake in addition to a traditional wedding cake. Done. 220 Catering was probably our best wedding splurge but it was worth it. Nothing makes guests happier, it seems, than really good food. The compliments are still coming in. read more

I booked 220 for my wedding and there really aren't enough words to express how pleased I am with their professionalism, great attitude, and quality food and service. My guests THOROUGHLY enjoyed the wedding/reception, and I will definitely be using their services again. The food.. heaven! My friends and family are still talking about the hors d'oeuvres and dinner (see fresh kobe beef sliders (amazing!), duck and ahi. The dinner was also amazing, carving station, spring rolls, great side dishes (and more). They also took care of my alcohol... which went over extremely well (wink wink). Overall, I am thrilled with 220 and will definitely be using them again for something (baby shower maybe?) Thank you David...and the pricing is amazing. read more

We had been working with David Fouts of 220 Catering for weeks to plan a birthday party our grandson's first birthday, a special and important event. Admittedly my son is on a budget but had a modest plan of a taco bar. We spoke with David, agreed on a price and then when we finally got the written estimate it was much higher. We called to discuss and he claimed there was a misunderstanding. The new plan was to scale back on some of the set up materials to save money. David said he would send a new estimate but instead several days later, we got an email canceling the event altogether. Since then he has gone so far as to bad mouth us on social media for being cheap. I simply don't understand how this person has any clients at all. read more

The pictures speak for them selves .. But I will say he was really nice and overly accommodating..... Until he suddenly just stopped responding after weeks of planning out a menu and agreeing on pricing etc. My fiancé and I are appalled at his bizarre behavior.. But most importantly he completely wasted our time... (**update- no need for more pictures of his obscenities, but this guy continued to text me for TWO HOURS after I stopped responding to him. Borderline harassment. I have better things to worry about while planning a wedding- most importantly finding a legitimate & professional caterer) read more

David Fouts is a class act and an amazing chef. We asked him to be the personal chef for a dinner party and we could not have been happier. He created an wonderful menu, prepared the meal with top notch ingredients for the finest sources in San Diego, Chino Farms Venisemo Cheese etc.....He arrived early with much of the prep already completed. The meal was FANTASTIC!!!!! and he is charming and entertaining as well. We hope to use him again for either a charity event, cocktail party or another special memorable dinner party!

Id recommend reading the filtered reviews! even though yelp claims to fairly screen, somehow all of his negative reviews end up in his filtered reviews... yet they're ALL true, which I learned the hard way from personal experience! This guy treated me and my Fiancé terribly, told us to "f-off" etc. ... I wish I hadn't wasted my valuable time on somebody so unprofessional. I'd NEVER trust him to do an event for me or anyone I know based on his flakiness & erratic behavior read more

What a fun company!!! I got a call Friday from David asking me it I was doing anything for Sundays games.. I said no just the friends and family. He told me he would come over and do Carnegie Asada for us.. I asked him the cost and he said not to worry it was a Thank you for my business. Turns out he spends a lot of time building relationships in the community. He came over and surprised us with a great meal... Love the stories and food.b read more

FANTASTIC FOOD!!! I loved the job they did. From set up to break down, these guys were great. The stuff eggplant was out of this world as were the various skewers. these guys give you a lot of bang for your buck. The Chef took the time, hours, to work out our menu, and he went out of his way to save us money. I would recommend these guys with out a problem. They also help us with the flowers and bar set up at no extra cost. read more

I was very Impressed. The appetizers that they provided were unique, and very tasty. Most of the dishes I had, were better than what I have had at top restaurants. I have to say, that the duck tostada was incredible. What I liked even more, was that they never ran out of any of the tray-passed appetizers. They went out of there way to make my event great. read more

I love these guys, they offer the best quality product at a very fair price. I had no problem with dealing with David, I even got him at home one night at 10pm. I have a feeling that if you're having a problem dealing with him, it might be that you might have an attitude or you're very impatient. If he does,your event you will be very happy. read more
