What a wonderful and pleasant experience with the chefs!…read more My cousins and I (13 of us) took a trip out to Breckinridge, Colorado for fun and we decided to hire a private chef to cook dinner for us one of the nights. We had two chefs arrive completely prepared with their own cookware and food to cook. They were very friendly, professional, and respectful. It was such a pleasure to welcome them into our Airbnb. They really made sure that we were comfortable and served well. The leader in me tried to help deliver the plates to the correct people, but they did not let me haha, which was a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend booking a private chef through this company. It was such a great experience and let me tell you the food they prepared was PHENOMENAL! Every dish was prepared so well!! I was so impressed and satiated by the end of the meal. We had appetizers, main, and dessert. Even all the dressings and sauces on the meat options were great. I did not get a photo of the appetizers but they were so delicious as well!

We did a vegetarian dinner and man, it was good and worth it. This was my first time - but not last - hiring a private chef and it was just so much fun overall. Definitely recommend them for any fun occasion you're planning!

We hired Red Maple Catering for a welcome reception the day before our daughter's destination…read morewedding and were extremely disappointed with our experience. While the service and staff was courteous and professional, the quantity of the food was very far below our expectations. We had agreed upon a menu consisting of three appetizers and two stations, yet on the day of the event we were served five appetizers instead. This created an extremely embarrassing situation for us as hosts, as the food ran out far too quickly and guests left unsatisfied. Given the cost, the reputation of the company, and the careful planning that went into our event, this outcome was deeply disappointing. We definitely do not recommend this caterer based on our experience.

Red Maple Catering was hired to cater a welcome reception for our family's destination wedding in…read moreBeaver Creek, Colorado. All of our guests were from out of town, and many were arriving the day of the welcome reception. Therefore, we carefully planned the reception to assure that our guests were well taken care of and more importantly well fed. Despite careful planning over several conversations/meetings with Red Maple Catering, we were left very dissatisfied with this caterer's end product. The quantity of food provided by Red Maple given the rather high cost of the catering was nowhere near our expectations. As one of the event hosts, I was only able to try 2 different appetizers (1 piece of each) the entire evening. Many of our guests subsequently told us they had to leave the reception early "to eat" and we ended up having to order multiple boxes of pizza for those guests that were able to stay at the reception. Needless to say, this was extremely embarrassing for us and the other reception event hosts. Again, given the rather high cost of the catered event (even for Beaver Creek) we definitely did not get our money's worth at all. Overall, our experience was extremely disappointing, and we would not recommend this caterer to anyone looking to host an event.

The food was incredible and the servers/bartenders did a fabulous job. We have been talking about how flawless the evening was all thanks to your hard work (mostly behind the scenes). We have been recapping the day with our friends and everyone has been raving about the food! The salmon and steak were cooked perfectly which must be really hard to do for a huge group. We also loved the quinoa instead of the potatoes. Overall, you absolutely exceeded expectations and we are so happy with our decision to work with Taste5!"

Everything was so delicious and the process of working with Shelby was completely painless and could not have been easier. She sent over a list of menu options with so many great choices that it was difficult to narrow it down. In the end we settled on crispy pork belly and eggs for breakfast, beef and lamb birria tacos for lunch, and a three course dinner including elk empanadas, oxtail osso buco, and pistachio tiramisu. We could not have been more happy with the experience. The food was spectacular, Shelby was a joy to work with, and it's clear she really loves cooking for people and takes great pride in what she does. It was fun to watch someone who is so good at what she does execute on some of the best meals we could have asked for. Highly recommend Eat Dank Food and will definitely work with Chef Shelby again without hesitation.
