About

I have had a love for cooking since I was a little girl watching Julie Child and Justin from Louisiana! I pride my business on quality of ingredients, dishes made from scratch and good food all can enjoy. You can get food from anywhere but with me you get a chef that is personable, easy to work with, top notch food at a reasonable price.

What a fabulous dinner we had! Meagan was efficient, friendly, sweet and above all else, an amazing chef! Our eight grandkids - who fuss over food like all 5-10 year olds - went to the kitchen to thank her ON THEIR OWN because they looooved the chicken nuggets and mac & cheese. And the adult menu was superb! Unbelievable lampchop and crab appetizers and mouth-watering steak and chicken piccata for the entrees. Everyone loved even the green beans. Strawberry shortcake for dessert and we're still talking about the shortcake. We didn't think to take photos until it was all over. A shame but a culinary triumph, judged by the rapid disappearance of every dish. Endless cheers for Chef Meagan!

Everything was amazing! Megan was great to work with. Starting with the communication, execution, and quality of food! I decided to host a birthday party for my husband last minute. My husband and guests had the best time and enjoyed every second. Mission accomplished :) I will be reaching out to Palate Sensations again soon!

Chef Meagan's food is DELICIOUS! Our dinner party enjoyed every course and barely had room for dessert. She has a special gift and by the way it tastes your know it from the heart. I'm look forward to hosting my next dinner party with chef Meagan!

Never responded to my inquiry. Hoping this is just a one off for others!

Palate Sensations's reply

I'm sorry to see the 1-star rating and wanted to offer some context. Your request came through while I was on vacation and offline from work, which is why I didn’t respond. As a Thumbtack pro, I do my best to prioritize inquiries—especially when clients reach out directly to me, as that usually signals a genuine interest in hiring me specifically. In this case, the request was sent to multiple pros and, with limited availability and the nature of the event, I made the decision not to respond while away. It's also worth mentioning that Thumbtack charges us pros each time someone expresses interest, so if you're truly looking to work with me, the best way is to reach out solely to me—or contact me through my website (as long as I’m not away). I truly value clear and respectful communication, and I hope this helps explain the situation.
