Chef Alana and her crew were amazing! Everyone enjoyed the food she provided for my birthday party of about 50 people. I started out with a 15-20 min call describing my party, the type of food, and what Chef Alana could provide. She asked me about my favorite foods and catered the menu around it. From there, she arrived at the venue on time and spent the night partying with us after the food was served. Will definitely be calling chef Alana again for any of my catering needs in the future!

We had the best experience with the team at Most Wanted Chef. They were super communicative from start to finish of our project. They also understood our budget and gave us options that fit within our scope, and their team worked hard to create an amazing spread. The event was high stress with a lot of moving pieces and they handled it with grace and a smile. They were also able to offer us other services we were missing, like bartenders who were great at making elevated cocktails. I would definitely use their team again and recommend them to anyone in the area looking for food and beverage needs.

Alana absolutely saved my event. She is so passionate about her food and just amazing as a person. The food got so many compliments! "A flavor explosion," "a burst of flavor in every bite," and "expertly planned complimentary flavors," were among some of the more notable compliments my guests had about the food. Just wonderful!

I loved working with Alana. She was a joy to work with and her work was exceptional. This was my first experience with a caterer and she and her team more than met my expectations. The event was a reception for my daughter's wedding: a low key, at home affair. From the the planning process, to the party wrap-up, Alana was with me the whole way. Her experience and professionalism made it an event to remember. BTW, the food was excellent, the set-up and service classy, and being the hostess a breeze. I want an excuse to use Most Wanted Chef LLC again as soon as I can!
