Chef Christina and her team were absolutely amazing. I needed a personal Chef for a private birthday dinner because our original chef cancelled just hours before the event. The Exotic Chef responded immediately, secured my requested menu, showed up on time, prepared meals onsite for both days, served and assisted with our theme. Beautiful private chef experience. Great energy and very professional. Food was absolutely amazing. Very flavorful and to top it off the presentation and set up was just what I had envisioned. We will definitely be booking with them again.

My friends and I had a great time at our event and the star of the show was the delicious food cooked in home by The Exotic Chef. She and her partner were great and did an AMAZING job. I would definitely book with her again!

10 stars if allowed!!!! I will be hiring Exotic Chef for my next event. She worked with my budget and also gave me an amazing deal I couldn’t say no to. She connected before my event started to make sure I had what I needed. Showed up exactly ON TIME!!!! The set up was beautiful. More than what I was expecting… We both wish we would’ve taken photos. But of course I was extremely to busy to do so. My menu was crab balls⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, Pepper steak with white rice⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, chicken and waffle, burger sliders, salad ( which everyone loved), fruit and two flavored drinks. People were packing up to go boxes. Thanks you again Exotic chef!!!!! I will be seeing you again.

Details: Birthday or anniversary party • Lunch • Non-alcoholic drinks • American - casual • Barbecue • American - Southern • Food stations • No, drop off only • Banquet hall or ballroom • Yes, partial kitchen (fridge and sink only) • 50 - 59 guests • Serving and warming equipment • Standard (basic ingredients)
