I first favored the Naples Catering/JN Culinary bid because of their pricing but upon performing web research on ALL the other contenders I was even more drawn to JN Culinary for many reasons. First, his clientele's comments were numerous and all favorable. Second, his education (masters) and certifications in the field coupled with his work experience (executive chef) make for an outstanding resume. Third, his web page is very professional containing very valuable info about menus, ideas, as well as pictures of his kitchen. I could tell this person took his business very seriously. I contacted Paul and gave him an overview ...I was looking to serve 30 people for a birthday party for three different ages (70, 55 and 50)! Did I mention that the 50 yr old is very Italian and the 70 year old didn't want any cake! The food needed to be dropped off, no serving or attendants necessary. Paul was very easy to work with. We came up with an anti pasta appetizer, salad, chicken francaise, veal bolognese, meatballs, whipped potatoes with celery root, braised Brussels sprouts with fennel sausage...for dessert bite sized cheese cake and key lime pie! Everything was fantastic...I've never had a party where everyone Raved about the food! The moment you smelled the Brussels sprouts (which in general aren't my favorite, but these were awesome) your mouth started watering. Here are some comments (verbatim) from some of our guests. From Marina: "The food I had was great! I heard everyone raving about the food, especially the men. Everyone seemed like they were going up for seconds. I would definitely use the caterer if I had a party. If you provide me his name and number, I'll keep it and also pass it on to my friends in the area who are in Naples a lot!" From Jane: "The chicken was moist and you could cut it with your fork and it just melted in your mouth. After each bite I just wanted to take another. And the meatballs were fantastic. The flavors all blended in your mouth like heaven. The bread didn't need butter it was so flavorful but not over done! The roasted peppers on the appetizer tray were fabulous too! From Sarann: "I thought the caterer was good and especially liked his presentation and taste of the [appetizer] and his presentation (very unique) and the taste of his desserts! Since these are my two favorite parts of any meal, they are always MY focus!! " From Bill: "It was all great but the Bolognese was over the top." From Chuck: "I thought the food was very good!" Need I say anything more??. Oh yes, he needs to bring business cards because many guests wanted them. Your mistake if you pass this guy over!

Excellent job by Mr. Daniel right from the start. Clear concise communication with several menu options, easy to work with and the food was very very good. All of our guests remarked how delicious everything was (25 guests) The price was very reasonable and there was enough food for 5-6 more guests easily. I would strongly recommend JN Culinary to anyone looking for a great caterer

We had Naples Catering by Paul Daniel for a wedding rehearsal dinner at our home. Everyone raved about not only how delicious the food tasted, but how bountiful and beautiful it looked at our buffet table. He was very professional and followed through on everything he was contracted to do. We highly recommend Naples Catering by JN Culinary!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each service has an associated expense. Linens, glassware, china, service staff, equipment rental all effect the price of an event. As a caterer, I earn my living producing food, unfortunately the price of the food cannot cover the cost of ancillary services or custom setup. Given the fact that each client has a different requirement of services we price the food separately from each of these other expenses.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I research and write for my blog, continuously update menu offerings and research new cooking techniques, remain certified with the ACF.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I love the creativity and variability of each event and client.
