Patrick was retained as THE chef for our week-long family gathering of 25 people in July 2014. From the first contact with him he exemplified professionalism, and as we discovered over the course of the week, immense capability. In preparation for this gathering, he partnered with me in the advance planning, suggesting menus for 3 meals each day, and accompanying appetizers, desserts and snacks. He flawlessly executed the plans as well as being responsible for everything else involving the meals--food shopping, preparation, serving, and clean-up! Because of Patrick, this large family was able to totally enjoy being together AND have wonderful meals with no fuss on our part! I will seek Patrick for our next family gathering, whenever that may be, and pray that he is available!! Thank you, Patrick!!

I am a Heart Patient. I recently was hospitalized for Congestive Herart Failure. My diet was a critical element of my eventual recovery and recuperation. Mr. Leeman was able to prepare Heart Healthy meals for my wife and I, which were delivered to my home while I was still to weak to prepare my own meals. Mr. Leeman prepared recipes for my wife and I for several months that had been reviewed by certified dieticians. I found his meals to be of excellant quality and quantity. I was also pleasantly surprised at how much variety Mr. Leeman could offer which really added to the excellent dining experience. As pleasant and pleasing as the food was Mr. Leeman also had a very good grasp on his scheduling which accomodated the food delivery and his pricing which is very economical. I knew that I was not Mr. Leeman's only customer, but his mastery of his business model made me feel like I was his sole employer. Additionally, I have on occasion hired Mr. Leeman to assist with food preparation for large groups dining at my home so have had the opportunity to observe how he works as a member of a group and how he supervises assistants. All of these skills are quietly rolled up in a pleasant and friendly young man. 5 Stars A very Satisfied Customer, Bud Merritt of Virginia Beach

Easter Party for 100 with an elaborate menu of pastas, sandwiches, and a chocolate fountain. The second time we have used Patrick because his food is always fabulous. We could have used more staff with this event to keep trays full and tables clean, which led to Patrick being a bit stretched, but he managed well in spite of it and always keeps his cool. He has a wonderful even non-stressed personality.

My Family's Chef catered my 2014 Daddy Daughter Dance. The food was delicious and presented very well and price per plate was very reasonable.
