Introduction: I am the Executive Chef at Sweetgrass Restaurant on Dataw Island, St Helena Island, Beaufort, SC. I have over 25 years of professional cooking experience, from schools to care facilities, from breakfast to dinner, from diner food to fine dining meals, as well as catering experience with strict attention to detail. My service stands out because I have passion for the menu planning, the cooking, and the fine tuning of the details. It shows in every step I take in preparing each event I present. I take personal pride in my work. You will not be disappointed in the results. update- 6/2018- I now have a few years of self employment under my belt, which has been A LOT of learning based experience. I have learned staples and the very basics, while learning how I want to present my own style of food and presentation. I am lucky enough to have joined with both a Sushi Chef, and a Vegan Chef! their food is outstanding!!! Welcome Aboard Matt and Chaundra!!! I think my future clients will enjoy an newly incorporated selection of expanded menu options. I love food. I love to cook and chop and bake and eat. I love to work with people, as both clients and the Chef's and Service Staff who all work as an amazing team with me, and our goal is 110% satisfaction. I have been in restaurants for many years, and I love knowing that my guests are enjoying their dining experience. I love to design menus and and look for new recipes to try on my family of cooks and chefs, and get to share with my clients.

We are a group of 8 sisters who were celebrating our 20th anniversary of our annual "sister trip"! Having a personal chef is something we have talked about for years. Our dear Mother is 95 and had recently fallen seriously ill. We were not even sure if we would make the trip, right up to the last minute. Renee assured me that either way, she would be right on it. Renee was so easy to work with and helped me to customize a fabulous menu! She even adjusted the time, earlier than originally planned, to accommodate us. The food was FANTASTIC, plentiful, flavorful and fresh! Her homemade peach cobbler put Paula Dean's to shame! Renee and her assistant, Matt, joined right in with us; sharing stories and enjoying the banter that only a family can understand! She and Matt were just delightful AND they cleaned the kitchen and packed up all the leftovers for us to munch on later! This was definitely a highlight of our trip and we would ALL recommend Renee to anyone looking for an affordable GREAT meal! Since returning from our trip, we have suffered the sudden loss of a dear brother-in-law and are still caring for our Mother. Renee and Matt have reached out in sympathy, caring and support! We couldn't ask for more. I will try to post a picture or two but I am not the "techy" in the family. Thanks Renee for such a wonderful meal and great memories!

Renee and her assistant we incredible. They helped me in throwing my parents a catered dinner 40th anniversary dinner. There were kids, dogs, adults and kind of a hectic scene but they maintained professionalism and the food was outstanding. If we get a beach house again I will absolutely be calling Renee again!

We had an amazing experience with Dinner2Go! We had a dinner party with 10 people. Renee was very quick to respond to any and all questions I had and helped us create a lovely meal. The food was delicious and the kitchen was spotless when she left. I highly recommend! She arrived promptly and our appetizers were served on time. The crab cake dinner was delicious!

Renee and her supporting server (I apologize for forgetting her name!) were extremely professional, friendly and efficient. The food was very good, and having the two of them there really made our event enjoyable and stress free! Thank you again!
