Chef Bandy was great! We made last minute plans for a big group dinner and Bandy did everything right! He responded to my original request quickly and worked with me to create a menu that satisfied a group a large group of adults and kids. He set e everything up at our house so we could easily enjoy the appetizers and mains, AND he did a great job cleaning up afterwards.

Chef Bandy prepared about two weeks worth of meals for me in under three hours, including 4 different entrées. I couldn’t be more pleased. His cooking is solid, tasty and healthy. He is available for group dining, and special occasions, but I really appreciate the fact that I don’t need to think about dinners – shopping for them, preparing them or cleaning up from them – for a couple of weeks. Big problem solved.
Details: Regular meal • 2 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - casual • Italian • Southern • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • French • Indian • Meal prepared onsite • A few times per week • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
