Our "rolodex" includes many of the best vendors for all your event needs, whether it be entertainment or lighting to photographers and waitstaff. We take pride in our work with making your job easier as our highest priority. Wonderful food always begins with amazing ingredients, especially produce. We source directly from local farmers, we work with an organic butcher, a wild fish monger and importers of select cheese and specialty products. We make our own duck and lamb prosciutto, smoke our own duck breast and make our own kimchi amongst other things. Food is the heart of every catered event. We work with your ideas and curate the menu based on seasonal delicious produce, expert preparation and beautiful presentation. The produce inspires us and we often build a dish around vegetable.

My company hired Ellen to prepare a breakfast spread for a client meeting we were having last week, 20 people total. Ellen was fantastic, she went above and beyond our expectations and the food she served was delicious. Everyone was very happy with how it turned out, we would absolutely recommend Ellen for any personal chef needs!

We had a great experience working with Chef Ellen. Not only did she do an amazing job on the food, she also helped with furniture rentals and staffing as well. She was extremely accommodating and worked with us to create some unique dishes based on my wife and I’s background which she absolutely nailed. During the whole process she was very responsive and really went above and beyond to help us stay within budget while providing excellent service. Highly recommend!

Chef Ellen and Renegade Outpost did a fantastic job for our event. In the leadup she was very transparent, consulted on all menus, and was quick to respond throughout. At the day of the event Chef Scott and Claudia did an incredible job throughout. From independently preparing everything for our event onsite without assistance from our event attendees, going above and beyond cleaning the space, and ensuring all the guests needs were met while preparing great food, I'd absolutely use Renegade Outpost again and would recommend to anyone looking to hire a great chef.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 21 - 35 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • Italian • Barbecue • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
