About

*Serious inquiries only. Please note that Thumbtack typically charges professionals between $40-$50 each time they receive an inquiry. I have been in the restaurant/catering business for 20 years. I was the chef/owner of Smallwares restaurant in Portland for 7 years. I then teamed up with my partner to do catering. Our experience in catering over the years involve small dinners in homes, weddings, company parties and many more. We work on a smaller scale and love to customize menus for people and work within budgets. My partner Nathan and I have a vast range of cooking experience in many different cuisines. We have worked in top New York restaurants, farm to table bakeries, Italian, Indian, Texas Bbq and of course everything in between. We love high end and low end cooking. We strive to guarantee a wonderful experience no matter what the menu is.

She was the only one that responded to my request for catering a dinner to my home. Nice to work with. Dinner was great, but salad was just mixed greens with side of dressing.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a quick phone call with the possible client first. I ask what you are looking for and food preferences are. I will also ask you what your budget is and try and work around that.
