Introduction: Hello, my name is Marcus Childs. I am a culinary arts graduate from Sullivan University and Lorain County Joint vocational school. My passion for cooking first started at a young age when my grandparents would let me get a feel in the kitchen. I loved making pancakes from scratch that my grandfather taught me or grilling ribs and then making baked macaroni and cheese with some cornbread from scratch from my grandmother just to name a few. At 15 I knew what I wanted to do in life and I found my gift from God. I’ve been catering and doing private events since 2012 and I must say, I love it. I love people and I love cooking and creating amazing dishes. Hiring me for your small or big event you’re getting me as your contact and face that’s present as well. Just in the past year we have done over 50 weddings up to 400 guest, corporate events, anniversaries, reunions and private personal events as well. I’m thankful for each call and or email we receive and we try to be responsive as quickly as possible because we want you to know how important your event is to us. Let’s talk soon

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!

From beginning to end, working with Marcus was great for our wedding. His communication and response time was incredible. Day off, he and his team showed up so helpful and on time. Food was great- especially those mashed potatoes. Thank you!
