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!

We decided to throw mom a dinner party at home and we knew Shelley would be perfect. Mom's a vegetarian so we planned out an adventurous and delicious 6-course tasting menu without any animals being harmed haha. Chef started us off with an amuse bouche of collard harissa spring rolls -- absolutely spectacular! That was followed by a healthy and flavorful microgreens and heirloom tomatoes salad, a mind-blowing BBQ Jack Fruit pizza, a hearty and flavorful lentil tagine, "crab" cakes made with Jack Fruit (so creative and scrumptious!), a super rich medley of mushrooms over sweet potato grits, and a dessert of saffron(!) ice cream in a cardamom waffle cone. Our party was so impressed and nobody enjoyed it more than mom. Needless to say, we were all STUFFED! And for a bunch of meat eaters going all-vegetarian, it was an eye opener into how satisfying vegetarian food can be. Shelley did a masterful job of blending and experimenting with flavors and profiles from Africa to the Deep South, from Persia to Paris, and everywhere in between. We can't wait for our next special occasion with her!

I found Michelle Everett ("Shelley") on Yelp a few weeks before a big family dinner. She is…read morefriendly, helpful, & dependable. Took charge & produced a wonderful Southern-style meal. Everyone loved her cooking! One thing you should know: she is NOT a caterer, but is a personal chef. That means you will have to provide table linens, plates, glassware, utensils & decorations. I also provided all liquid refreshment. Her charge was about $100 per person.

This is my first time trying a meal delivery service. I am just about to start a major kitchen reno…read moreand didn't want to eat take out every single night, so I decided to give Chef Swole a try before the reno starts. I have to say, my husband and I are VERY pleased and have gone past our one week "trial run" and are now entering our third week. First, I feel like I spend wayyyy more money than this at Whole Foods every week, and only get a few meals out of it. Second, I am a working mom, and by the time I get home after being stuck in traffic, cooking is the last thing I want to do. Dinner is done, and I can spend more time with my daughter when I get home. Third, the food is really, really good. Ingredients are high quality and what I'd make at home if I had the time. Fourth, portions are awesome. We signed up for the deluxe, and I split my meal with my daughter (15 months old) and I am more than full. My husband is always full off of one meal too. Sometimes for lunch we will even split a container in half and be fine (and we get more meals out of it!)

I've ordered 3x now I believe and I would have to say the last delivery was the absolute best. I…read morelove Asian foods and he hit it out the park that week. Food taste: In other weeks, I've had to add my own sauces. I always order the deluxe portion for 20% more food because the regular size is too small for me. I cook and add more veggies because most prepared foods don't give me enough. The only thing I needed to add to these last meals were a pinch of salt, but this makes sense because the food is made for all types of people. Delivery: I love the fact that the food is delivered to my doorstep. They deliver on Sundays and seem to be providing service every other week now. There are 4 options available but you can adjust how many servings you want of each meal. Service: No issues and I get a prompt response each time.

We recently hired Chef Bailey to prepare meals for us after welcoming our newborn, and we couldn't…read morebe happier with the experience. She worked with us to understand our preferences, what dishes and ingredients we liked (and didn't like). We selected her 3 entrees and 3 appetizers package, and every single dish was healthy and delicious. We are vegan so they were all plant-based. As busy parents, having these meals taken care of was a huge time saver. And it was a great way to eat healthy yet flavorful foods when you don't have much time to cook yourself. Chef Bailey handled everything from cooking to cleanup to storing the dishes in Tupperware, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the food without any extra stress. If you're looking for a chef who understands dietary preferences, delivers outstanding meals, and provides a seamless experience, my wife and I highly recommend Chef Bailey!

It's truly difficult to express how amazing Danny and his staff made our wedding event. As we were working to find a chef for our small wedding reception/garden party, Danny stuck out simply because we liked the pictures of his food, but after we met with him, we knew he was the perfect chef for us. He made us feel comfortable from the start (LGBTQIA+ friendly) and understood our tastes and interests from just a 30 minute intro call. We signed our contract with him several months out from the event, but he always kept in touch to make sure our heads were still in the same place in how we wanted to celebrate our wedding. Moving to the actual event, we hosted ~22 people for a cocktail style garden party. Danny came up with an amazing menu including: - Cheese plate (very high quality cheeses; these leftovers made for spectacular girl dinners) - The popcorn project (very cute apps with a special, Danny-made seasoning I can't stop thinking about) - Guacamole three ways (fabulous) - Black bean mango salsa (so refreshing for an outdoor party) - Pimento cheese dip (if you only have one stationary plate option, you should definitely get this) - Black bean hummus (added to our menu last minute and it did not disappoint) - Gazpacho shots (refreshing and elevated) - Shrimp lollipops (perfect way to start the event) - Scallop ceviche (my wife's favorite dish) - Brisket sliders (my favorite dish) - Mini cupcakes (soooooo cute and the perfect size to allow you to try all of the flavors) - Thin mint drunken milkshakes (a perfect way to cap off the night) For drinks, we had a few signature cocktails, lots of wine, and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Danny has a knack for coming up with differentiated cocktails that still bring together all of the flavors you know and love, just at an elevated level. I highly recommend the Santero (mojito adjacent) and my wife loved his bourbon cocktail. We had a few non-alcoholic drinkers and they loved the blood orange margarita. And beyond the food, Danny's staff was perfect. Jessalyn and Camilla were so warm and welcoming and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. The kitchen was a little tight to begin with, but they made more than do with the resources they had and left the kitchen in better condition than how it started. Danny and his sous chef, Cat, were busy and possibly overwhelmed, but didn't show it at all. The cadence the food was sent out was perfect and we loved that we got to chit chat with the whole staff in between courses. When we first met Danny, we told him that with all of the money in the world, we still would want to have a very small wedding reception with a private chef. Danny's personality, food, staff, etc. etc. made it better than we ever could have anticipated.

The portion sizes were more than enough, and we had leftovers for a few days! Everything tasted great, except for the mac and cheese, which was just one item that didn't hit the mark for me. My guests enjoyed everything else. My favorites were the meatballs, curried potatoes with chickpeas, cajun alfredo pasta, and the red beans and rice. The food arrived early and hot, which was fantastic. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because I ordered fried wings and sweet chili wings but received baked wings instead. It was too late to address it, but they tasted great regardless. Jaclyn was very patient with my update requests, and I would definitely recommend this place! Overall, I was very happy with everything, and my husband had a wonderful surprise birthday. Thanks to God, Jaclyn, and her team!
