About
I think I’m close to pretty much all of my clients booking again after our 1st meal & that’s the most humbling to me. The reason why you’ll hire me, isn’t just because of my 40 years of experience but the joy I’ll get when you ask me if I can make this for you next weekend. Which is a yes! Farm to table, regional/coastal, vegan, Mediterranean or a vision your taste buds have, let the #foodartist exceed your expectations. What I’ve found in the Culinary Arts Arena is work-life balance, emphasizing the importance in execution, consistency, and marketability between innovation and unique universal appeal. With a understanding of each client, brings forth a wealth of Corporate Catering experience in establishments that include: The Refectory Restaurant in Columbus, Oh; Michelin-Star Patrick Lanotre Restaurant in Paris France; The Savoy Hotel in London England. His excellent knowledge provides accountability in P&L management in the public and private sector, managing private estate, world-class hotels clubs and resorts.

My partner and I hired Chef Jeff to cater a plated dinner for our 18-person civil wedding, about a month before our ceremony. Chef Jeff and his team went above and beyond to ensure that our day was as wonderful as could be. From the very beginning, Chef Jeff worked with us to create a menu that we loved, incorporating and re-creating dishes from special meals we've shared over the course of our relationship. He also made sure to accommodate the dietary restrictions of our guests. When we were left without tables at the day before the event, Chef Jeff came to the rescue with tables of his own! On the day of the event, he and his team arrived early and set up in the kitchen. They were respectful of the space and were courteous to all our guests who had to walk through the kitchen to get to the restrooms, etc. The presentation of each course was beautiful - right from our passed appetizer canapés and charcuterie board, to the salads and our main courses. Our guests particularly appreciated the fact that he uses local and home-grown ingredients (like the basil for our pumpkin seed pesto) in the meals. And honestly, it's touches like those that show that Chef Jeff is passionate about his craft. Chef Jeff and his team went the extra mile to ensure our guests were taken well care of! In addition to constantly having a member of his team circulating, they set our tables beautifully, helped decorate our plain wedding cake with flowers, sliced and plated our cake for guests, and left the kitchen spotless! Chef Jeff was always responsive to our texts and treated us and our guests with patience, kindness, and care. I highly recommend him and his services!

Incredible! Was easy to work with on the menu, his team were great, and it was a great value. Everyone was raving about the food quality and presentation. His team was professional, courteous and did a fantastic job throughout the whole event including cleaning up. There was nothing for me to do or worry about. I would highly recommend Chef Jeff and will use him myself again.

Chef Jeff was absolutely amazing. Not only did he show up right on time, the food was excellent, he explained what each item was on our taco bar, And even helped us out with extra things like mixing our sangria and helping us make coffee for fifty people! We can’t thank him and his staff enough My daughter and her fiance were absolutely thrilled, and the guests couldn’t stop saying how wonderful the food was. Despite several guest count changes, and having to set up at a remote location, this caterer took everything in stride, he was very personable to all our guests, and the kitchen was spotless when he left. Can’t recommend this business enough.5 thumbs up!
