Introduction

I have been passionate and fascinated with the art of cooking all of my life. Professionally I have been in the business for 5 years, exploring a range of occupations in food service & hospitality. Sharing my food and the joy that it brings to others through tailored dinning experiences and innovative dishes is what I'm all about. Fusion cuisines and creating robust and memorably delicious flavors is my specialty. If you're looking to learn new things in the kitchen & have a great time doing so, I'm that chef for you.

We booked Have a B.L.D. for a surprise birthday event for my partner. From the moment I contacted her, the process was extremely smooth. We remained in close communication, collaborated on the menus, and the final product went far beyond our expectations! Enjoy the photos- can’t wait until the next event that Have a B.L.D. will cater.

On the previous question, what do I like about working with B. L. D.? I tried to select all but the site only allows me to pick three. Chef Shantell’s cook was phenomenal. Her presentation was like artwork. I did not want to eat the food because it was picture perfect, looked amazing. The food looked like something you see on TV. The food tasted sooooo good, I didn’t want to stop eating. But my stomach was so full I had to stop eating. She was so professional and cheerful, my wife and I had already started to plan another date for her to cook for us again. Thank you to the best chef

Communication is kept open with client's leading up to the event, if their needs to be any changes made prior to service.
