I used J. Faljean Chef Services for an event hosting 600 guests and volunteers, and I had a pleasant experience with both working with Jarrold and the food. Jarrold has catered this event for four years in a row. So many of our attendees LOVE the food. Jarrold is always very responsive to my emails and requests, and I had many requests as our attendee list kept changing, so he was very accommodating to all of our requests.He is a joy in the kitchen and always postitive!

When planning our wedding my now husband and I were on a budget and paying for the wedding ourselves. We wanted as formal of a wedding as our budget would allow. We found quickly that a nice dinner was not going to happen on our budget... until we found chef Jarrod. He offered us what no one else was willing to. He went above and beyond what we expected. The food for our wedding was amazing. His staff was extremely helpful and polite. Apon the evening ending some of our guest were so impressed they asked for business cards for chef Jarrod. The quality of food and service is what we thought we couldn't afford. By far I would recommend chef Jarrod for any catering needs you may have.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I believe education is the key to success in the culinary world. If you stay stagnant, you'll never go anywhere.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always loved to cook, but it wasn't until 8 years ago that I decided to make a serious move towards becoming a chef. Since age 12, I have always been in a kitchen somewhere. Then I decided, I would go to school and make this a career. As I accumulate caterings and continue to work in this field, I find my passion for this line of work constantly growing.
What types of customers have you worked with?
The most common types of jobs are Buffet style services, and wine pairing dinners. I also do a lot of work for children's non-profit organizations.
