My mom did not want to go to a restaurant and preferred to spend her birthday with the family. The pricing was better than I would expect at a restaurant, and we would not have been able to have an enjoyable conversation and great grandkids enjoying themselves playing at my mom's house. Rich Delivered!! Rich provided an extensive menu with multiple appetizers, salad, soup, and entrée options. I put in a venue request, and I received a phone call and emailed customizable menu within an hour. I was a little hesitant since I cook all the family meals but was not disappointed with what Rich delivered. Specific recommendations and experiences include: Bread tray homemade and warm when it arrived. Appetizers Seafood Ceviche an outstanding choice that was extremely fresh and delicious. Mini Bell's charred peppers a big hit with the family outstanding. Caprese on homemade Evoo toast simply amazing. Salad Blackberry fresh and refreshing. Soup Seafood Bisque the best the family has ever had. Entrée Braised Short Ribs and root vegetables with added crab cake amazing as well. Steak and Cake the family favorite. Sides Roasted Cauliflower Caponata excellent choice. Whipped Maple Sweet Potato my moms favorite what can I say a true delight. Desert Chocolate Mousse delicious choice. Rich is extremely personable and provided an excellent experience to our event. He left the kitchen spotless and cleaned all the dishes, cookware, and stovetop. My family was extremely impressed with everything that Rich provided, I highly recommend Rich for any private event that you are considering

I hired Chef Tawanda (The Flavored Chef) to cater my father's funeral repast for about 100 people…read morein Norfolk, VA. I took a chance in hiring her because she was not one of the caterers the church had recommended to me. (They hadn't previously had any experience with her.) Well, she did NOT disappoint! She might be young, but she cooks like an old soul food veteran! Everything on the custom menu that we selected was cooked to perfection and delivered on time to the church. When we returned from the cemetery, the church staff was ready to serve the awaiting guests within minutes. We received many favorable comments on the food. I hope she left some cards with the church, because I'm sure other folks will want to hire her. I highly recommend her and would definitely work with her in the future.

We decided to have it catered. However being from Philly we had no idea on who to use. Search the internet for black caters and The Flavored Chef appeared.

Chef Tawanda aka " The Flavored Chef", delivered a great meal, reasonably priced and delicious. If anyone is in the Hampton Va area and needs to hire someone to cater we highly recommend her and her team. Instagram @theflavoredchef Website https://www.theflavoredchef.com/ Best regards Chef T!

The crab cakes were so delicious along with the sauce. It had barely any filler with large lumps of crabmeat. This was my favorite. The pork chops were perfectly cooked and were so tasty and tender! That was a favorite for a couple. The salad was so yummy with a lot of great flavors that came together beautifully. Our salmon was the entree which had a beautiful glaze and a nice crisp on the edges. Our apple crisp dessert was a perfect ending to our delectable meal. Honestly, it was perfect and nothing I would change. She was also such a pleasure and cleaned up EVERYTHING! You can't go wrong with her! I have had other private chefs and she has been the best so far!

Where to begin? First, thanks to Yelp for allowing me to narrow my decision down! Yelpers have…read moreyet to let me down and THIS is why I automatically use Yelp all the time! To start, I reached out to Chef Bernard based on the Yelp reviews to see if he could prepare a romantic dinner for my husband and I on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2015. He was available and agreed to serve us. From the start, he was very professional and communicated well. He sent me sample menus with options galore. If there was something on the menu that I wanted mixed up a little, he had no objections. My husband is a very 'simple' eater so I wanted to know if the Chef could also prepare something 'simple' like Potato Au Gratin. Whew....he did and it was sooooooo good! He arrived at our home in what I call his mobile kitchen (because he had everything in it that one could imagine), introduced himself to us and got down to business. We had a few small plate items, entree and dessert. He talked to us while he prepared the meals and it simply felt like he was a friend. It did not feel weird or awkward having him in our kitchen at all. It was great! He gave us tips on cooking at he prepared meals and spoke to us more about who he was (in and out of the kitchen). Some of the items we enjoyed were: 1. Pork chimichangas 2. Cajun eggrolls 3. Peking duck rolls 4. Filet (cooked to order) 5. Potato au gratin 6. Broccoli w/cheese 7. Cheese blintzes wi/ a strawberry wine sauce 8. Crab cakes Everything was perfect! He served us well and we could not have asked for a better experience. We are looking forward to more dinner parties with him in our home. If you are looking for a chef to help you make a memorable event, Chef Bernard is your answer. He also prepares weekly meals for you or your family. My husband really enjoyed the food and he is still raving about it. We tried items we typically would never try in a restaurant. We loved it and we are true fans!

The food is farm to table and always arrive in neatly packaged containers every Sunday evening so we have dinners stocked to enjoy the following week. I have had meal services with others before and this is by far the most skilled cooking of farm to table meals. I think it's a good value. One recent review I read was really not fair about "scam". That's just not true but I understand the frustration that led to a misunderstanding. I know the owner/chef was busy and working to try improve their marketing, ordering app, and communications. It's a small business so you just have to contact her directly if there is an issue and she will take care of it. I did that every time and I was patient because I want this good cooking to last to feed my family. Seems like great people. I've spoken to her and met the staff who deliver food to my house. We look forward to ordering each week!

I cannot say enough great things about Chef Jamie and Meal Mate DC! We're in California and had…read moresecured a beautiful Airbnb in DC for the weekend of our daughter's college graduation. We decided that, rather than try to find a restaurant for all the extended family in for the graduation, we would host a private dinner at the Airbnb prepared by a professional chef. We interviewed a number of chefs and Meal Mate was by far the best. Most creative ideas, most responsive, and best enthusiasm for the project! We signed with them months ahead of the date, and as it drew closer, I started getting reminders from Chef Jamie. Some questions, more ideas. On event day, Chef Jamie and Chef Nathan showed up exactly on time and started getting to work. First, the table was set beautifully with linen napkins and personalized menus/place cards. As guests arrived, we were all treated with a specialty cocktail and delightful appetizers. And then dinner. Wow!! Maybe the best ribeye steak ever. Wonderfully seasoned and incredibly tender. The sides were all great but that steak - oh, my lord. Dessert was a matcha tiramisu and it was the perfect finish! Throughout the night, the service was so smooth and then, before we knew it, the kitchen was cleaner than when they arrived and they were off. Like I said, I can't say enough great things about Meal Mate. Book them for your next event!!

My husband and I were delighted with the planning process. We received multiple menu options that managed to balance picky eaters, food allergies, pregnant, and breastfeeding members of our party! In addition to a 7 day breakfast & dinner menu, we also put together a grocery list for snacks & lunch foods. The meals were over the top delicious. This is coming from 2 New Yorkers who are accustomed to fine dining and spend a lot of their time in the best restaurants around. Every meal was professional, cooked to perfection, and appealed to all. The desserts were fabulous and I'm not even much of a sweets eater. For the 4th of July we had a TON of food - we ate it for days and savored every bite. Despite the fact that the chefs were around us during our family vacation, their presence was never intrusive. We enjoyed the pool, playing games, watching TV, and chatting. They respected our time and space. We are planning the same vacation and considered a new location, but are returning to Virginia for Ambient Personal Chef. You will not be disappointed.
