Chef Rashaad was great! I contacted him to come and prepare brunch for my birthday. From the first time I reached out to him, he was quick to respond and very professional compared to some of the other chefs I reached out to. He had a brunch menu selection that easily allowed me to choose which items I wanted for my birthday brunch. He helped me choose which items I could have in order to stay within my budget. When the day came, he was punctual and very professional. The food was amazing and he was able to cater to one of my guest who had a shellfish allergy by making her a completely separate plate. His presentation of the food was top notch and he left my kitchen spotless. I will definitely be using his services again in the future!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Breakfast / brunch • I'm flexible • American - casual • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Rashaad is a First Class professional private chef. I decided to hire a private chef to provide brunch for my daughter’s 28th birthday, thinking it would be something nice and different. But little did I know when I hired Grind Tome Eats that everything be absolutely AMAZING! From prep, to cooking, to cleaning up, he did it all. I can’t wait to have another event so we can hire him again! Thanks Chef Rashaad for making my baby’s 28th birthday so special!!

Grindtime eats is a highly recommended catering business! They were very punctual and professional and came through with preparing some delicious food for my husband's surprise birthday party. His attention to detail while preparing the food and plates gave the ambiance a nice touch! The salmon with the cajun cream sauce was a hit! If you are looking for a catering business, grindtime eats will not disappoint.
