Chef Tater was a spectacular addition to my Mom's 70th birthday. In fact, he really made it. He helped me craft a menu with her in mind and was able to plan his arrival and the meal around our surprise for her. Every course of the meal was magnificent with every guest going back for seconds and even thirds! I highly recommend hiring him for any catering or dinner party needs. You won't be disappointed!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Southern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I can't express how delighted we were with the culinary experience provided by Chef Tater at our recent corporate event. Not only did Chef Tater arrive early to set everything up, but his professionalism and attention to detail throughout the event were truly impressive. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to their craft and their clients. The breakfast and lunch he prepared were nothing short of exceptional. We had a BBQ for lunch and tender, smoky meat was falling off the bone, infused with the deep, rich flavors, left everyone at our event raving about the food. It's not easy to please a diverse group, but Chef Tater managed to do it effortlessly. Our team was not only satisfied but also genuinely impressed. Chef Tater went above and beyond to ensure that our event was a memorable culinary experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Tater for any catering needs you may have!

Details: Regular meal • 11 - 20 guests • Lunch • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Cold beverages (non-alcoholic) • Mexican / Latin American • Barbecue • Meal delivered • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
