Hired on Thumbtack

First off, I want to say that Chef B is a total professional and culinary genius. We hired Chef B to cook for our wedding rehearsal dinner at our home. We had family and friends flying from all over the country and wanted to make sure they got a great meal of local foods that would be memorable and bring every one together, Chef B completely delivered. To add to the complexity, we live in Williamsburg and the power had been knocked out by the storm that hit on October 11th, with only the gas stove working, Chef B pulled off a miracle and delivered and incredible meal that fed over 40 friends and family by candlelight. Every one raved about the food, Chef B is not only talented but also extremely funny and can easily turn a situation like no electricity into a memorable one. I would absolutely recommend him for any event and we look forward to hiring him in the future for any other events we may have. Thank you to Chef B, we couldn’t have done it without you!!

Chef B is fantastic! He was very punctual, his arrival to the facility made it helpful with assisting others in e.g DJ, photographer, and bartender; that relieved the stress of having to deal with it. And he did so with no annoyance, he seemed happy to do whatever was needed to make the event a success. He was also very helpful in the planning phase, as me an my husband were not entirely sure of the menu, we loved his suggestions. He gave us a free tasting of all the items before the event to be sure we were satisfied. After the event, we got nothing but kudos for the chef we picked for our event. Food was hot and stayed replenished. And we appreciated how personable he was with our family and friends. He will definitely be called for our next event.

My last year birthday party was catered by worth the wait and the food was excellent and it was more than enough for all of my guests. Worth the wait will also be catering my graduation party because the food was just that amazing. I also love the presentation of the food choices because they look so good. Worth the wait is definitely a quality business that I will use for all of my major events for now and for years to come!!!
