Chef Rashaad was great! I contacted him to come and prepare brunch for my birthday. From the first time I reached out to him, he was quick to respond and very professional compared to some of the other chefs I reached out to. He had a brunch menu selection that easily allowed me to choose which items I wanted for my birthday brunch. He helped me choose which items I could have in order to stay within my budget. When the day came, he was punctual and very professional. The food was amazing and he was able to cater to one of my guest who had a shellfish allergy by making her a completely separate plate. His presentation of the food was top notch and he left my kitchen spotless. I will definitely be using his services again in the future!

Grind Time Eats did an excellent job catering our wedding reception! The food was amazing, everyone complimented us on how great it tasted, and he was able to drop it off and set it up without us even being at the venue yet, so it was all ready when our guests arrived. He was also so easy to work with, he helped us come up with the perfect menu and was very flexible! And on top of all that the value was unbeatable! I would 100% recommend grind time eats and will be using him again if we have another event in the future!

Details: Wedding • Lunch • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • American - Southern • French • Buffet • No, drop off only • Outdoor venue • No kitchen • 20 - 29 guests • Standard (basic ingredients)
