My wife and I both worked in the service industry in New Orleans--me as a chef and my wife as a…read moresommelier--so we have high standards for food. When we hired Chef David Hargrove and his catering company, 2brother1love, for our 130-person wedding at Music Box Village, we were absolutely blown away by the level of care, creativity, and service he provided. From the start, Chef David went above and beyond. He was incredibly communicative, listened closely to our needs, and worked with us to design a custom menu that reflected our tastes. Not only was the price more than fair compared to other options in New Orleans, but Chef David took the time to make sure every detail was perfect. The food itself was phenomenal. For appetizers, we had fried green tomatoes with crab salad, quesadillas, watermelon and feta skewers, and tuna tartare in crispy wonton shells. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The tuna tartare was a standout--bright, spicy, and perfectly balanced. For dinner, Chef David delivered an unforgettable feast. The braised lamb yassa with semolina dumplings was rich and succulent, while the seared salmon with lentils was perfectly cooked--no small feat for 130 guests! We also had Moroccan spiced chickpea stew, rice pilaf, stewed collard greens, and a halloumi-strawberry salad. Everything was seasoned to perfection, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. At one point, we had to provide to-go boxes because so many guests wanted to take the food home! What really set Chef David apart, though, was how he went above and beyond throughout the entire event. In addition to preparing the food, he agreed to cut our wedding cake and serve coffee afterward--something that made a big difference and added such a personal touch. His attention to detail and the care his team took to ensure everything ran smoothly truly made our wedding day stress-free. If you want creative, delicious food paired with outstanding service, Chef David is the way to go. He not only met our expectations but exceeded them in every way. We couldn't recommend him more!

During the 2020 pandemic I've been sampling a variety of fried chicken sandwiches. I saw Chef Nat's…read moreKitchen advertising on Facebook and decided that I needed to try it. I'd never heard of them before, and when I went looking to order there wasn't much information. The primary ways of ordering were Uber Eats and DoorDash. Deciding that I didn't want to pay a delivery fee, I opted for pickup and was given the address of a house. Turns out that Chef Nat's Kitchen is literally Chef Nat cooking in his kitchen. LOL, can't say he did any false advertising in that regard! I didn't actually go in his house to pickup, but he seemed to have a good set up from what little I saw. The carport was fenced in with some seating and a little "Open" sign on the carport fence. He did also have a "Chef Nat's Kitchen" banner on the house, so you knew you were approaching the right house. There was an empty lot diagonally across the street, so it was easy to park out of the way. Chef Nat was very friendly. I asked permission to add him to Yelp - I felt I had to ask first due to his setup - and he quickly agreed. He also said he appreciated feedback, which seemed to be true; more later. The fries and sandwich were good. I usually find white fries boring and avoid them, but these had enough seasoning on them to give them a little interest. The piece of chicken was huge, hanging off both sides of the bun, and was topped with a sauce that had a nice little kick to it. The thicker sections were maybe a smidge dry, but in that "white meat chicken" type of way. The only criticism I had was the bun - it couldn't handle the awesomeness of the chicken - and Chef Nat said he'd look into it when I mentioned it to him. Overall it was good food and a small, friendly, black-owned business. Chef Nat said he'll be getting a brick-and-mortar store and I'll be looking forward to it.

GOSH where to begin. I am sorry to say I had high hopes for them. We were suggested this caterer…read moreby our Venue Race and Religious. They hold a very high standard so thought this would be something thats a no brainer. I talked to a few other caterers and we like Aaron (our sales person) he was personable and responsive. We came into town and did our tasting and he took us for a drink. I should have known at our tasting. My food standards are high as well as service and the food was MEH. But at this point I was in it! People always say wedding food is does not have as high of standards as fine dining restaurant but it sure cost us the same. Aaron told us we had "more than enough food" and our price per head was not cheap. Aaron also told us he does not go to weddings but would come by ours (He never came, never let us know and he told us one things and our wedding planner told us another why he did not show up). The day of the wedding everything went south. There were SO many issues but will highlight a few of them as I am sure there were more I was not told or did not find out about. They ran out of CUPS, soda water (yes soda water) our wedding was only 70 people on the guest list. the last table they ran out of food for (they did not make enough food or all the items we ordered, veggies, rollos, shrimp and grits and so on), they did not have all the items they were supposed to for the bar. To top it off one of their staff sold beer to one of our guests at the end of the wedding (beer we had already paid for) and pocketed a few hundred bucks from a intoxicated guest. This is a shame. Aaron lacked much follow through on this after the wedding and one of the other bosses there gave me a 15% reimbursement. Honestly I would never use them again and feel so upset this went down the way it did. We have guests as our wedding that did not get all the items we had selected when we were supposed to have tons of food. How do you run out of items like cups and soda water at a bar for a 70 person wedding?

No name, number, or acknowledgement of whose order is who. When he saw us, he asked you want your food?!? We said what about our sausage. He said you don't want it?!? Mocking us. We asked why he was being rude and he started yelling at us. We told him we don't want his food and our money back..we gave him the food and he threw the food back at us. Who does that?!?!!! Avoid this place as much as possible!!!!! See picture of the shirt from all the left over wings that's was thrown back at us..worst place in the world.
