IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A GREAT CATERER!! THAN LOOK NO FURTHER!!!! I cannot rave enough about the over…read morethe top experience given by Tim and his sous chef Lisa!! I hired Tim to cater for my dads 80th bday last weekend. Tim worked with me through the entire process beginning to end, making things easier for me. He's so great at returning calls and e-mails. Showed up on time and KNOCKED IT OUT THE PARK!!! It's like I had two wizards in my kitchen that day! They made 4 delicious appetizers they had circulating for the first hour while guests were arriving. I'll include a picture of our entire menu at the end:) I did the seafood paella and the vegetarian one. Both were just phenomenal! Everyone was so wowed by the presentation, beautiful!! They helped with cake service, refilling waters and they cleaned up after themselves very thoroughly. I'm telling my friends and my neighbors, anyone that will listen that this duo is worth every penny! Thank you Chef Tim:)

He is more than a caterer, but an…read moreincredible and talented chef with a giant passion for his food and the preparation that goes into it. Chef Tim was the highlight of our son's wedding/elopement celebration party that we had at our home. We had a meeting beforehand to discuss details and plans. This process enabled everything to be stress free. The party went perfectly and Chef Tim and his paella creation was a big topic of discussion among our guests. Everyone said it the best food they ever had at a party. He prepared two kinds (chicken and chorizo and a vegetable version) that were both absolutely divine. Each version of paella had perfectly combined flavors that created an extraordinary compilation in every bite. The guests could also watch him put it all together as all of the food was prepared on site on the day of the party! (Not brought in trays to be heated up!) Wow!!! The flavors were incredible, delicious and beyond words. Chef Tim is a true master chef and gem in our city and his kindness and caring, professionalism and talents and passion will be forever treasured by our family, as he made a very special event the best experience possible. Chef will always be our first choice from now on. We highly, highly recommend Chef Tim!

What an unexpected (and delicious!) surprise! I was hanging out at RPM when I spotted their Belgian…read moreFrites--and let me tell you, a large cone of freshly made fries is an instant "yes, please!" You get to choose one dipping sauce, but honestly...for the price, they should include two to offer a little variety. The flavors are too good not to mix and match. We tried a few: * Cheese sauce -- rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. * Basil mayo -- the standout! Fresh chopped basil throughout, bright and flavorful. * Truffle aioli -- tasty, though it leaned more mustard-forward with visible mustard seeds and not much of a truffle profile. Maybe I received the wrong sauce. Extra sauces are $1.25 The fries themselves? Soft inside, perfectly crispy outside--everything you want in a true Belgian fry. Service was fine, the menu looked fresh, and I'd absolutely come back just for those fries.

I was referred to Brandy to make sure that my nutrient needs were still being met despite such a limited diet. She specializes in pregnancy and postpartum nutrition, takes insurance, and I have found our sessions super valuable. I was really worried her recommendations would be to spend the whole weekend doing meal prep or how an artisan frittata with slow smoked roasted veggies would be a great breakfast -- like yea right let me just do that with all my free time, hello I have a newborn?? But to my delight, everything that she suggested was extremely reasonable and manageable even in the complete chaos that is my life right now. She gives you specific goals to stick to and doesn't make you feel bad when your typical lunch consists of a fruit leather and 10 sun chips. Instead, she's just like "okay well if that's your lunch, you're lacking in protein -- here's how we can help that." I've found working with her to be extremely valuable and I can definitely notice a change in how I'm feeling on a daily basis! Definitely would recommend her to anyone!

Jessica is amazing! We started having Jessica cook for us after the birth of our first born. We…read morewere so exhausted our first week. All we ate was fast food, pizza and frozen meals and I could feel myself getting more unhealthy by the day. The next week we hired Jessica to meal prep for us for lunch and dinner. It was such a godsend to have home cooked healthy meals! Every week Jessica gives us a shopping list and it is so simple to instacart the exact amount needed for the week. Now we have gourmet meals prepped for home and work. I look forward to it every week. Now we actually spend less total per week including paying Jessica. I think this is because now we do not waste food. It also feels great to have an organized fridge without food wasting. The meals themself are excellent. We are on a healthy plan as well. We loved the chicken salad wraps with Greek yogurt substituted for Mayo. Cashew chicken with rice!! Yummm. She's also very creative and make dishes that I would not even conceive of and I would never make for myself. On the list for the week was ground chicken avocado spinach balls with yogurt sauce. Honestly this did not sound appealing, but we decided to go with it anyways. It was our favorite of the week. The flavors were bursting. It seemed like a fusion of Mexican and Mediterranean and we loved it! The textures we're interesting and mouthwatering. The spinach, chicken and avocado provided a complex medley of different flavors and mouth feel. The next week we had another odd ball on the menu. Strawberry chicken with balsamic? That sounded strange. We again almost discontinued this order and went with a different order however by this point Jessica definitely earned our trust as an outstanding person and chef. This again was our favorite meal of the week. The blender flavor is quite unique with the fruit mixed with the acidity of the balsamic which marinated perfectly into the chicken thighs. What started as a postpartum temporary meal plan has now turned into a fixture of our life. We gladly welcome Jessica into our home and she is very Covid conscious for anybody who is concerned. We also look forward to outstanding gourmet meals every week which far surpass our previous Trader Joe's frozen food and delivery pizza.

Watching everything get prepared right in front of us was half the fun. The pacing felt intentional, piece by piece, like sitting at a sushi counter rather than eating catered food. Fish quality was excellent and the variety kept things interesting throughout the night. The rice was dialed too, which honestly is the detail that separates good sushi from great sushi. Proper texture, good seasoning, and balanced with the fish. A few pieces really stood out texturally as well -- clean cuts, great mouthfeel, and thoughtful garnishes that didn't overpower the fish. Beyond the food, the hospitality was great. Friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about what they're doing. It really did feel like a sushi bar popped up in our friend's house for the night. If you're looking to do something memorable for a private event or dinner with friends, this is a very cool option.

Home-Kase is what you're life has been missing. Book yours with Urban Crudos and thank me later ok?…read more Chef Gerson is the best of the best and the possibilities are endless. From a private AYCE style experience brought to you, all the way up to a custom curated Japanese style omakase meal featuring countless courses of perfectly prepared sushi, sashimi, maki and more, you can do it all with Urban Crudos. As I've gotten older I want more and more time in my home, surrounded by my beloved family and good friends, enjoying time with each other, and since food is my love language, exceptional eats must be on the menu, paired with fine wine and whiskey when appropriate. So when my wonderful wife suggested I host a sushi party, I was all about it! Initially I'd planned on taking a group out or placing a big takeout order to enjoy at home, but that's when the lightbulb went off and I made the Urban Crudos call. Chef Gerson shared a number of wonderful options with me, but I had my heart set on something pretty specific. Over the course of 2 weeks we went back and forth, discussing dishes, checking supplier availability, and developing an omakase menu that hit so many of my favorites. Chef Gerson and his sous chef and brother, Yonatan, prepared more than a dozen courses for my group of 15 that included kampachi, hamachi belly, toro, uni, caviar, and even A5 wagyu, each prepared and presented individually over the course of 2 hours. It was a phenomenal experience I can't wait to have again, and every single one of my guests has not stopped talking about it since they left! Once the courses were complete Chef Gerson even went on to prepare a few more platters for us to enjoy as the party continued. These guys are true pros with a hospitality first mentality. They set themselves up beautifully in my kitchen so we could watch the action unfold, and somehow they left it all cleaner than when they arrived. This is one of the best things you can do in Reno Sparks. Skip going out and consider this for a group of friends soon!
