This man and his team are amazing! They were on time, amazing at set up, and the food tasted so good! Everyone kept asking how where we found the caterer and my father in law took a plate home for himself. I honestly can't say how blown away we were. We had a taste testing before our wedding and it was good, but this food was 10 times better! I'm referring them to everyone who needs catering for an event.

We invited Chefsprep to cater our annual band banquet at our high school. The buffet line presentation was professional, the Southern Comfort food menu was of outstanding quality, service was great, and Chef Marcus was so hospitable he feels like a friend. Thank you so much for being there for our organization! I highly recommend!
