Introduction: Welcome to the Culinary Carnival starring The Starving Gypsy. The goal is to not only provide you with exceptional food but to also create an experience for you and your guests like no other. The team is dedicated to tantalizing your tastebuds, your mind and soul. We pride ourselves on using locally sourced ingredients, providing a bit of history, food knowledge and a genuine good time. Chef D has lived all over the world so there is no ingredient, no technique and no cuisine she is afraid to bring to life. It is all about providing a fully collaborative, curated event. Whether its your first time wanting to try a particular dish or your 70th, no request is too outlandish for her magical culinary skills so do not shy at asking. As a sidenote: We provide fully immersive and collaborative menus. Our goal is to provide an experience so at least have an idea of the cuisine, a color, a smell, a taste, a memory or an event that you want to celebrate. We want to frame your event with whatever you see in your head and the more ideas you have, the further we can both go. Policy: Upon booking with us, we have a 25% deposit to be made 3 weeks prior to the event. If for any reason you need to cancel, please do so before your final payment to receive the deposit back. If after the final payment is made, you will receive 50% back (if it is before 7 days before the event.) If a cancellation is made the day of the event, you will forfeit all the funds paid unless a reschedule is planned and made within 48 hours.

    Demeatrie was a wonderful chef and collaborator in planning a diverse and innovative menu of six different dishes to a dinner party of 8 guests. Even in the midst of a possible schedule conflict, she remained calm, collected, and kept communication open. During the event most guests were so enthralled with the food and talking to the chef that we only took this single photo of one of the delicious appetizers. I would definitely book The Starving Gypsy again, and was so excited to learn they even offer cooking classes.

      Demeatrie was an amazing personal chef and one of the best elements of our weekend. The food was amazing, far beyond what we could have asked for. She was responsive, accommodating, and the service was awesome, a million times better than a restaurant.

      Demeatrie and her team were fabulous!- we had a last minute change of bachelorette party locations due to COVID, so I reached out a week before our weekend in a slight panic to set up the dinner request. Demeatrie was quick to respond, decisive to help me choose a menu, and delivered amazing, quality food to a group of very hungry 15 bachelorette gals! And her energy was bubbly and friendly on top of great food- This type of service was awesome for a girls night in on the last night of our trip to enjoy each other’s company- would highly recommend!

        Thank you so much! I am glad you guys enjoyed everything. It was refreshing to be able to present Hawaiian food in this space because that is where my professional culinary journey began.

      FAQs

      • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
        I do offer discounts for Veterans. We are also offering a discount during the first month of Summer. There are additional charges for allergies or specified dietary preferences. There are also additional fees for travel, dependent upon the location.
      • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
        I like to first discuss with the client what they want to accomplish and then build upon that. We have seasonal featured menus that customers can choose from but we will create whatever options you need to achieve what you desire.
      • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
        I attended culinary school in Hawaii. Also, as a military veteran, I know how to think on my feet and work under extreme pressure. I have worked in high end fine dining establishments, resorts, hotels, catering companies, bakeries, film shoots, private clubs, etc. in various parts of the world. Therefore, I pride myself on being able to create and cultivate any experience asked of me.
