I had a small gathering with a few friends of ours for my wife's birthday. We wanted to do this at home instead of going out to a restaurant but I did not want to do the cooking as I wanted to spend more time with guests rather than with the cooking. So I decided to try having a personal chef do the work for our dinner night. I searched available chefs in the area and decided to give a try with the Daily Chew Catering. Carly was quick at answering all my questions. It was very easy to work with her to come up with the menu. She told us that Jesse would be the chef for the dinner. He arrived promptly, one hour before the dinner started, to do the prep work. From the start to the end, Jesse was very professional, courteous, and was over the top in his cooking. He made sure that I did not have to worry about anything. He only needed a few minutes on my time to show him where things were in the beginning, and the rest of the evening just went very smoothly. His execution on the cooking and plating was excellent. The shrimp and Salmon were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We were all very satisfied with what we had and had a great dinner evening, thanks to Jesse. Furthermore, we did not have to worry about cleaning up, as he did all the work for us before leaving! I would definitely recommend the Daily Chew Catering!

Carly and Christian of Daily Chew were exactly what our HOA needed for a spectacular catered New Year's Eve event. The menu choices were plentiful, the food was flavorful and served hot, the presentation was beautiful, and while I appreciated the planning and professionalism from Carly in the months leading to our event, our 100 guests thoroughly enjoyed their top quality dinners on our big night! With our guests' ages ranging across multiple decades, pleasing them has proven to be no easy feat, yet Carly hit it out of the park with every one of them.

Details: Holiday party • Dinner • Dessert • American - formal • American - casual • Mediterranean or Middle Eastern • Buffet • Yes, full service • Banquet hall or ballroom • Yes, full kitchen • 90 - 99 guests • Plates, utensils and glasses • Cloth napkins • Serving and warming equipment • I'm flexible

It is very unfortunate that I didn't take any pictures to share. The daily chew team was a fantastic catering choice for my 2023 command holiday party. My guess complimented me on the professionalism, the attentiveness the team provided during the party. They went beyond my expectations and even helped with setting up my drinks. If you are looking for a team of professionals to not only cater your even also to give your guess a dining experience, look no further. It was a pleasure working with them.

Details: Holiday party • Dinner • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • Coffee or tea • Non-alcoholic drinks • Mexican or Latin American • Italian • American - formal • Buffet • Yes, full service • Banquet hall or ballroom • Yes, full kitchen • 100 - 124 guests • Serving and warming equipment • Cloth napkins • Plates, utensils and glasses • I'm flexible

We were in San Diego for our annual cousins trip and had Carly prepare a meal for one of our nights and it was amazing. She catered to all the dietary restrictions and the food was fabulous. Every question I had was answered with great professionalism and kindness. She was a joy to work with and I would 100% hire her in the future.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Pricing is dependent on the number of people and dishes ordered. For a catering estimate, it costs about $20-$25 per person for 2 entrees and 2 sides for basic proteins. We require a minimum order of $400 with at least 12 servings of each menu item. If you send me your email address I can email you my pricing sheet. Pricing does not include tax, so keep in mind that an additional 7.75% will be applied to your final quote.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    When working with a new customer I make sure I understand their wants and needs to ensure that we're are on the same page from the beginning. First, I have them take a look at my menu; then, if they want something specific or want additional options that aren't on the menu, I'm happy to customize orders so that the event turns out better than they envision.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I've done a variety of events that range from bridal showers, bachelorette dinners, weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, and holiday parties.
