Chef Marqus is outstanding. He's made a huge difference in our lives as far as not only the quality and incredible taste of the food he cooks, however he's made meal prep and adherence to a healthier lifestyle/diet so much easier for our family. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Chef Marqus has been the biggest blessing to our family. He has been doing meal prep for our family for 6 months now. He has tailored his menu to our preferences, and has helped us curate a menu that fits with our ever changing needs. He even makes pures for our baby boy. As a working mom, having Marqus curate clean, organic, and tasty meals for our family has allowed me to be more present with my family after work. We enjoy having Marqus in our home to meal prep for us. He is respectful, kind, and leaves our kitchen cleaner than when he started. Overall, I cannot recommend Marqus enough!!!

Chef Marqus does weekly meal prep for us as a busy household with two working parents and a baby. I can't recommend his service enough. Having delicious, healthy, home cooked meals ready to go in the fridge has been a complete game changer. **It has given us our Sundays and evenings back**. The time saved and stress avoided is amazing - no more last minute scrambles for dinner. Not to mention, the food is far more delicious than we could make ourselves. We basically stopped doing takeout at restaurants because what we have at home is literally better. We know it won't be long until he is too busy to take on more clients so we are grateful we caught him early!

Chef Marqus and his team cultivated the ultimate experience for my wedding dinner. Chef Marqus was kind enough to share his Sicilian chicken and filet Mignon. Nearly every single guest approached me to rave about how delectable the entire meal was. Not only was the food immaculate, but Marqus and his team were so FUN to have around. If you are researching for you events food, look no further because you have found the goldmine.
