We do a company…read moreoffsite twice a year where we fly in an international team of ~30 for a full week, and this last retreat Chef Marlo and his team came up and joined us. The food they made was just insanely good, and everyone raved about it (they said hands down this was the best food we've had at a retreat). But more than that chef Marlo was perfect to work with- he catered to the needs of a pretty diverse crowd, and got really custom with the menu to help curate an experience which matched exactly what we were looking for If you get the chance to work with chef Marlo you won't regret it. He thinks outside the box, knows how to surprise and delight, and is just a great human all around

Chef Marlo absolutely killed it at the NYCWFF this year! His mini tacos was a hands down hit. Word…read morespread how good his tacos were and the line went from a few at the beginning of the day to one of the longest ones at the event. Everyone that had one raves about it! Can't wait for him to open a restaurant here permanently in NYC. You can't just keep him for yourselves in Atlanta. He needs to come here! But if you do go to Atlanta and looking for a place to eat. Go look him up and you'll leave happy. Sad he won't be at the entire show because I want to eat more of it . Thanks for treating our palates with yummilicious tacos. Your newest fan from NYC!

PHENOMENAL CHEF! We hired chef Jarvis for our baby shower and a personal dinner for two!…read moreBaby shower: he prepared shrimp and grits, seafood pasta, and fresh fruit tray. ALL FRUIT WAS GONE! The freshest fruit! The shrimp and grits were light but well seasoned! There was just enough shrimp in each bite and he wasn't stingy with the portion size. The seafood pasta was an ultimate hit! There was seafood in every bite and it was the freshest seafood! I never had seafood pasta prepared this way. It contained crab, shrimp and a lobster topping! EVERYONE ATE ALL OF HIS FOOD. We ordered enough and none was left! All of our guests constantly still talk about how good the food was at the shower Private dinner: Chef Jarvis served jalapeño wrapped in bacon, seafood macaroni and cheese, fingerling potatoes, asparagus and a Tomahawk steak. The steak was extremely tender and well seasoned! The seafood macaroni and cheese was fluffy and the seafood taste was not over powering the Mac and cheese. The asparagus and potatoes were fresh and seasoned perfectly! To end the night we were served a brownie that was sooooo soft! I don't eat sweets because I don't like the way they taste but I ate the whole brownie! That says something! I would definitely hire him again! There is no one better in Atalanta! Typically everyone is about presentation and no taste or vice versa. Chef Jarvis comes with both! You get great tasting food, beautiful presentation and stellar service !!!

Not only did we get rave reviews, our guests were stoked about the grazing table and crostinis. Everything was delicious. Thrilled with the results and all of the coordination. Shodan showed up and got everything dialed in right on time for our event. Our son and his longtime pal invited their friends and family who tried a wide range of tasty treats and there was plenty of time spent gathered around the goodness. Only advice I'd give is to make sure you order more crostinis. I saw plenty of quick word of mouth drive traffic right to them and everyone loved the unique flavors that the filet with smashed avocado, honey goat cheese topped with roasted tomatoes and pesto drizzle, and caprese delivered. The grazing table is something I'll daydream of often now that I've seen and gotten to taste so many amazing things from it. I can't recommend Ooey Gooey enough and can't wait to line up our next event with them.

Where do I even start? I have to give it up to Hannah because her patience with us was next level…read more She was locked out of our cabin for a brief moment and I couldn't even get in touch with her because my phone died after a full day at the local vineyards. Luckily, I had her email and knew she'd respond right away. What can I say? From the very beginning, I knew this was going to be quite the experience. Hannah and I were in touch everyday curating the perfect menu for my girls trip. She was extremely accommodating as one of the girls did not like meat so she quickly made her own choices for my friend. She's extremely communicative which was my favorite part about her services. She made this experience 10/10 for us. And the FOOD?! Phenomenal! We devoured everything. Hannah took care of all the courses and one I didn't include was the kale Cesar salad that tasted so yummy and added the lightest clean touch to our steak dinner. I have no complaints with Hannah and if you're looking for a chef in the Blue Ridge she is your girl. She will take of you from beginning to end with upmost southern hospitality. We do enjoyed having her and will book her again no questions asked! Love you Hannah you were wonderful!!
