Hired on Thumbtack

Let me start out by saying that I was a little leery because Jarrod's quote was the least expensive of all of the quotes that I got, but don't' let the price fool you because we are so glad that we went with him .We had the pleasure of having Jarrod cater our wedding on October 18th. Jarrod and his staff arrived on time and they set up the wedding reception tables for us and they looked beautiful. I got many compliments from our guest about how nice the tables looked. We had a cocktail hour with 3 different appetizers served and we liked all of them. The buffet set up was nice. The food was hot and fresh and tasted wonderful. I definitely suggest that you try his wonderful pork tenderloin. Jarrod made sure that he had enough food for our guest to have seconds if they wanted. His staff made sure that our guest had their drinks filled and cleared the plates as soon as they finished. His staff was very friendly and did a wonderful job. Jarrod stayed after he finished with his cleanup of the kitchen until the venue confirmed that the kitchen area passed their inspection. I would definitely hire Jarrod again because he did a wonderful job and made sure that we were satisfied. Thanks You, J. and D. Hurley

Hired on Thumbtack

Wow! You won't be disappointed. From the moment he walked in to when he left, he was outstanding and very professional. I found Jarrod through thumbtack to surprise my boyfriend on his 30th birthday and we were highly impressed. We had 5 courses with wine pairings and everything looked beautiful and tasted delicious. He had an awesome presentation and everything was exactly what I had wanted for my boyfriend. Thank you so much Jarrod....we would love to hire you again!! And you will hear from us again soon :) p.s. we are eating the leftovers as we speak and still....WOW!!! Thanks again!!

I believe education is the key to success in the culinary world. If you stay stagnant, you'll never go anywhere.

I have always loved to cook, but it wasn't until 8 years ago that I decided to make a serious move towards becoming a chef. Since age 12, I have always been in a kitchen somewhere. Then I decided, I would go to school and make this a career. As I accumulate caterings and continue to work in this field, I find my passion for this line of work constantly growing.

The most common types of jobs are Buffet style services, and wine pairing dinners. I also do a lot of work for children's non-profit organizations.
