Chef Alana and her team were true professionals. They picked up a very short timeline request to cater a party at our house. The menu was amazing and the food lived up to the menu descriptions! FYI - ALWAYS order the meatballs and the lobster rolls! A fantastic time was had by all and Chef and her team made it look effortless and enjoyable.

Chef Alana was absolutely wonderful! She catered my wedding and the food was a HIT! Everyone was commenting on how good it was 👌🏽. In my opinion, Alana went above and beyond for us. She sent samples of her food out to our house and, of course, it was delicious. She was flexible with dropping off the food with our wedding schedule (our venue was an hour outside of Austin) and then even hung around so she could meet us. She is a gem and I highly recommend booking her. Thank you for being so awesome and filling our guests bellies on our special day!

Chef Alana and her crew were amazing! Everyone enjoyed the food she provided for my birthday party of about 50 people. I started out with a 15-20 min call describing my party, the type of food, and what Chef Alana could provide. She asked me about my favorite foods and catered the menu around it. From there, she arrived at the venue on time and spent the night partying with us after the food was served. Will definitely be calling chef Alana again for any of my catering needs in the future!

We had the best experience with the team at Most Wanted Chef. They were super communicative from start to finish of our project. They also understood our budget and gave us options that fit within our scope, and their team worked hard to create an amazing spread. The event was high stress with a lot of moving pieces and they handled it with grace and a smile. They were also able to offer us other services we were missing, like bartenders who were great at making elevated cocktails. I would definitely use their team again and recommend them to anyone in the area looking for food and beverage needs.
