Chef Alana was absolutely wonderful! She catered my wedding and the food was a HIT! Everyone was commenting on how good it was 👌🏽. In my opinion, Alana went above and beyond for us. She sent samples of her food out to our house and, of course, it was delicious. She was flexible with dropping off the food with our wedding schedule (our venue was an hour outside of Austin) and then even hung around so she could meet us. She is a gem and I highly recommend booking her. Thank you for being so awesome and filling our guests bellies on our special day!

Hired Alana and team for a 30th birthday brunch for my daughter. We came into Austin from out of town so I needed someone to take the ball and run with it. I had no idea what the Airbnb would have in it kitchen wise, but Alana adjusted accordingly. She came up with an amazing menu and delivered on the food. It was delicious. Her team were friendly, professional, and easy to work with. They even had a lot of stairs to deal with!! I am giving MWC four stars because they were almost 2 hours late in arriving and I had to reach out to see what the issue was (while experiencing a bit of a panic attack that they weren’t coming). Granted it was the Saturday of the eclipse weekend and traffic was crazy, but I would have thought better communication when they knew they were late would have eased me sooner. Also, Alana did not tell me she had to leave to go to another event before our ending time until she was leaving. Her team did an amazing job of finishing and cleaning everything up. All in all, food was fabulous and my daughter was happy!

Details: Birthday or anniversary party • Lunch • Breakfast or brunch • Dessert • American - casual • Barbecue • Vegan • Mexican or Latin American • American - Southern • I'm flexible • No, drop off only • Home • Yes, full kitchen • 20 - 29 guests • Serving and warming equipment • Table décor • Premium (high end ingredients)

Chef Alana and her crew were amazing! Everyone enjoyed the food she provided for my birthday party of about 50 people. I started out with a 15-20 min call describing my party, the type of food, and what Chef Alana could provide. She asked me about my favorite foods and catered the menu around it. From there, she arrived at the venue on time and spent the night partying with us after the food was served. Will definitely be calling chef Alana again for any of my catering needs in the future!

Details: Birthday or anniversary party • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • Vegan • American - casual • Mexican or Latin American • Food stations • No, drop off only • Office • Yes, partial kitchen (fridge and sink only) • 50 - 59 guests • Serving and warming equipment • Standard (basic ingredients)

Alana came to our home and cooked a delicious meal for my mother’s birthday. The food was amazing and exactly what we wanted. We had a wonderful conversation with Alana during the meal. In addition to preparing a great four course dinner and a beautiful cheese plate, she was fun, real, and interesting. Absolutely loved our experience with Most Wanted Chef!
