AG The Chef provided a magnificent 40th outdoor social distance anniversary dinner for us on September 19,2020! The food was delightful and served with attention to every detail. My neice who was recently engaged inquired about using his service for her wedding reception. I am always excited and pleased AG The Chef!

AG The Chef was very responsive to our requests. He catered my step mother’s 51st birthday dinner and was able to accommodate every request. He even offered a kids menu so that my little sister could enjoy her experience at her mom’s celebration. You get a great portion of each dish for a great value. He’s very professional and even takes pride in plate presentation. He provided a gourmet meal for me and my girlfriend’s anniversary dinner. Everything was great and everything was on schedule. That Mac & cheese recipe is hectic. The red velvet cake is sensational. I highly recommend AG The Chef’s catering services.

I would like to say he is the best Chef ever. When it comes to food, meal preparation... HE IS THE BEST!! All I had to do was inform him of my goals and allergies and he taylor made a meal plan for me the was affordable and met my exact needs. Unlike others, he makes himself available and understands what your trying to communicate when you don’t have the words. Chef AG, thank you for everything!! My wife and myself love him!! Thanks Chef!!!
