Introduction: Chef Stef is YOUR Personal Chef; meaning he provides the services YOU personally want and need. I offer many different culinary services including: - Full Service Catering - Drop Off Catering - Weekly Meal Delivery - Personal Meal Plans (adhering to personal or professional dietary restrictions) - Private Cooking Lessons - Personal Chef Services My job is to make sure your experience is a positive and enjoyable one. Your job is to be able to enjoy without any worry. When we begin discussing an event I use some preliminary questions to craft your custom menu or lesson plan. Each menu or plan I create is custom, so it best complements your theme and preferences. From there we discuss how the service will run, and any other details we need to go over. Once everything is settled then it's show time!

    Wedding and Event Catering

    Chef Stef jumped in with great food and total professionalism when we needed a caterer last minute. With very short notice, he was extremely responsive to our needs in selecting from his extensive menu and rescuing our event. The food was excellent, generous and an all-around crowd pleaser. Thank you for everything. If we need a caterer again, we know where to find one who is a pleasure to deal with. Will recommend highly to everyone!!

    My experience with Chef Stef was very good. He was very flexible in planning the menu and the food was delicious. I received many compliments on the food. My only issue was that the morning of my event Chef experienced a power outage the result of which made him late for my event. I would definitely use his services again and would recommend him.

    We had an amazing experience working with Chef Stef! We did appetizers for a small party and everything was perfect. The food was outstanding! And the team was so professional when setting up. Chef Stef was so easy to work with— I picked some appetizers from a set menu and then requested some others, and Chef was so accommodating and flexible. The price was also incredibly reasonable— especially for the quality! I highly recommend using Chef Stef and can’t wait to have him cater our next event. Thank you, Chef Stef!!!!!!

    Chef Stef saved our Thanksgiving! We were in the middle of a complete kitchen renovation. The room was an empty shell. We had to host the event, but there was no way to cook. Fortunately, it was Chef Stef to the rescue! Chef Stef delivered a savory, hot meal to us on Thanksgiving day! He carved the delectable turkey, and separated the white and dark meats into separate containers. There were delicious mashed potatoes, the sweet potatoes were out of this world, and the sausage stuffing was amazing! All of the veggies were fantastic. He made his own distinctive cranberry sauce. We also had salad, gravy, rolls and a scrumptious apple crumb pie. Everything was delicious! The portions were extremely generous. We even had leftovers. In addition, the price was reasonable. Chef Stef was open to anything we wanted. I could go on and on about how exquisite this meal was, but let me conclude by telling you to hire Chef Stef. You won't be disappointed. Bon appetite!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
    My pricing is very up front, and is based on what you want. I will explain what is included in any price I propose from the beginning. I do not have hidden fees, or surprise you with additional fees at the end.
  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
    I begin with a few questions that relate to their need, and use those answers to give them the options I can provide that relate to what they want. For larger events I prefer to do a phone call or online video chat, so we can go over the details in depth without having to exchange a long, drawn out chat chain. Big events, such as weddings, are where I will get more in-depth with since there are so many moving parts, and I want to make sure the culinary part of your evening intertwines with the entire event.
  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
    I received my Bachelor's Degree in Culinary Arts Management in three years from the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, NY. The majority of my culinary tenure has been in country clubs (15 years) where I was used to having to multi-task daily to ensure different events with different plans executed properly.
