About
I’m Chef Marcus “Bossman” Jackson, a Dallas-based private chef with 4+ years of catering and meal prep experience, specializing in elevated Southern and Creole flavors.
I create unforgettable experiences from intimate private dinners and weekly meal prep to full-service catering. Every dish is crafted with bold flavor and refinement, rooted in my Louisiana heritage.
I also specialize in allergen-conscious cooking. Whether it’s gluten-free, celiac-safe, nut-free, dairy-free, or other restrictions, I take extra care to ensure safety without ever compromising flavor. Clients choose me when they want peace of mind and plates that still deliver that Bossman boldness.
If you’re looking for a chef who values flavor, style, and professionalism, I’d be honored to bring my craft to your table.

Boss taste catering co met and exceeded my expectations. I asked for an elevated brunch experience and it was that and more. He completely prepared the meal at my home then presented the meal in appetizing manner. We ate in the formal dining room with real dishes. The creole inspired dishes were seasoned to perfection. (Shrimp and grits as well as shrimp and sausage jambalaya 🤩) Afterwards, he and his sous chef picked up the dishes stored the remaining food and completely cleaned everything. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend his services.

Chef knocked it out of the park this weekend. With less than one week before my event Bossman and his crew accepted the job and delivered two amazing meals. I could not have asked for a better experience and look forward to more of his delicious catering.

We really enjoyed our time with chef bossman! His exec strategic assistant was quick to respond and really kind. Chef created a personal menu based on the type of food we were hoping for and gave us a few options within the menu as well. We asked if it could be a partial cooking class instead of just a private chef and he was able to create a great mix of letting us do some hands on steps but also having some food already prepped so there wasn’t a lot of down time or waiting around. Needless to say the food was amazing. 10/10 recommend chef bossman, worth every dollar!

Thank you so much, Tess, and happy birthday again to your husband. I truly enjoyed creating a hands-on experience that felt fun, personal, and smooth from start to finish. I appreciate your kind words about the menu and my assistant thank you for trusting me with such a special celebration.

Chef Marcus was amazing. From the beginning to end. The food was delicious!! And it was a pleasure having him in our home cooking for us in a very special day for my husband and I. It was such a smooth process since the beginning when I contacted them for the first time; they responded promptly and were very attentive to all requests. Would highly recommend hiring him for your event, whatever that is.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing reflects both the quality of ingredients and the professional service I provide.
• Meal Prep: Starts at $375 per week (includes groceries, 5 meals, 2 options, and delivery).
• Private Dinners: Begin at $450 for two guests (3-course experience, customized to dietary needs and event style).
• Catering: Dallas market minimums apply for an experienced private chef, with events starting at $1,000+ depending on guest count and menu complexity.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with a consultation to learn your vision, dietary needs, and event details. From there, I create a custom menu proposal. Once finalized, I handle all planning, shopping, cooking, and presentation. On event day, my focus is on making everything seamless so you can relax and enjoy your guests.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold an Associate of Applied Science degree from Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, and I’m also ServSafe certified. Beyond formal education, I’ve built over 3 years of professional catering and private chef experience in Dallas, from intimate dinners to 100+ guest events. I specialize in allergen-conscious cooking and continually refine my craft by working with athletes, executives, and families.
