Hired on Thumbtack

Chef Tater provided a fabulous meal (and experience) for our group of 6. From the initial outreach, he was responsive, a pleasure to work with, punctual, and the food was beyond delicious! He made our dinner party a stress-free and joyful event and our guests are still talking about the food and his engagement with them. This was my first time working with Chef Tater but it most definitely will not be my last!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - casual • American - formal • Mexican / Latin American • Southern • Meal delivered • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
