Michele. Was. Awesome! I had a chef cancel on me the week of my event! Frantic, I contacted Michele and thankfully she was available!! Not only did she travel an hour and a half to do our event, but she was punctual and sooo entertaining!!! Now on to the food...OMG!!! Superb! We had a three course meal beginning with hors of mini crab cakes and spinach and artichoke dip...what a tease!! They both were scrumptious! Next, were our entrees comprised of flank steaks, sautéed chicken in a mushroom sauce, roasted Fingerling Potatoes, and cobbage...yes...cabbage and collard mix!! Everything was seasoned to PERFECTION! We were satisfied by this point, but she kept them coming with deserts - her famous apple pie and cheesecake drizzled with sauce from the apple pie...talk about AAAAMAZING!!! Michele was simply the best! This event was for our Black Love Weekend - 6 couples - all foodies - so we had high expectations and she certainly met them. I’m actually glad that our chef cancelled!! Haha. Can’t wait to work with her again! Thanks Michele!!

Fabulous food and fun experience. Michele was so easy to work with. Relaxed but extremely professional. She made having a party for 50 easy. We wanted easy to eat, passed hors d'oeuvres that would be substantially filling. She put together a perfect menu. The food was beautifully presented and DELICIOUS ! (lamb & feta meatballs, sausage bread, crab deviled eggs, beef bruschetta, coconut shrimp to name a few) She kept the food flowing throughput the night. My guests were so impressed with both the food and Michele. She was professional and engaging as was her staff. The young gentleman, David, who accompanied her was clearly experienced. He helped with everything.. from hanging guest coats, to passing hors d'ourvres to keeping the place clear of used dishes/glasses. Most of all she and David were fun. They made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our own party. I would confidently recommend Chef Ragussis and will definitely be calling her again when we have another party.

We used Michele last night for a private dinner for 8 people. She was AMAZING!! The food was spectacular - so, so good (and we are foodies!). We loved Michele: her attitude and charisma fit our group perfectly. She worked with me endlessly on the perfect menu and always responded within minutes. We’ll be using her again for sure!!

Chef Michele was awesome. Her food was incredible. Each course had fresh and local ingredients, and her menu was creative and fun. Most importantly, Michele was engaged with us in planning a special dinner and connected with our whole group to make a special occasion a unique personal experience. We loved getting to know Chef Michele as she prepped and cooked her amazing food. She was full of interesting stories and kept the group laughing all night long. We love Chef Michele!
