I was incredibly happy with my experience with A Wayfaring Chef. Jessie curated a specialized menu specific to my event and participants. The food was beyond amazing-both is taste and presentation. She consulted with me on who was coming, what I was looking for and then delivered beyond what I could have hoped for. Everyone was amazed with the food and it made my event even more special. In addition, she was always responsive if I had a question or wanted to check in. On the day of the event she was right on time and set everything up perfectly. I know people have a lot of choices, but in my opinion you need to look no further. 5 stars!

I hired Chef Jessie to cook a traditional New England clam bake for my birthday party. She was so communicative through the entire process and made my party feel so special. She not only cooked delicious food but her presentation was absolutely stunning. She delivered perfectly on everything I had asked for and I will definitely be hiring her again for my next party!

Chef Jesse is fantastic! Im an event planner and needed to lock down many vendors for my client. After communicating with several, Jesse’s communication and responsiveness stood out. We recommended her to our client and booked her for our event. We were NOT disappointed. During our details call with Jesse, it was clear she was dedicated to getting every detail down specifically. On the day of she was punctual and the food looked amazing. If you want a complete professional with reliability, Chef Jesse is your best option. We are already exploring a future event with her now! She will also help you determine your menu. You will not be disappointed!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All of our menus are customized to match your event and theme. We will give you an estimated Quote and once we have all the details we can send you a final quote.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get an idea of the “experience” the client is looking for, from type of cuisine to theme to color scheme. Once I have an idea of what they are looking for, I make a customized menu that I think will make them and their guests happy and fit within their budget.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Always learning! A.S. and B.S. from The International Culinary Schools @ The Art Institutes of California-Los Angeles and Tennessee-Nashville, respectively.
