My event was on Christmas Day! We had six adults and one child – THE MEAL WAS AMAZING!! Prior to the event I explained that my guests do not eat pork and that it was imperative that he explain each dish. Chef Lemar was very professional and provided a very remarkable experience! The presentation had my guests very impressed. Here was our menu: First Course: Butter Lettuce Salad with Heirloom tomatoes, roasted corn, caramelized onions, cucumbers and buttermilk dressing (this dressing was homemade and delicious) Second Course: Shrimp and grits with chorizo spiced grits, shrimp sauce, sweet pepper relish (this was my favorite) Third Course: Stuffed Chicken Breast with Cambazola cheese, cauliflower cream and greens, red rice and crispy skin (this was so good we all laughed because we forgot to take a picture) Fourth Course: Poached pear, cake French toast, cinnamon anglaise, pecan granola, maple and ginger ice cream (long after the meal was over we talked about the taste, the presentation, the pears and ice cream)

I had a casual office work party at my house. I wanted to do burgers and brats, but didn't want to spend my time at the grill. Lamar came and brought everything needed for the party and manned the grill, so that I could entertain my guests. The food was great and the service was perfect. I will use Lamar again for my catering needs.

Lamar worked with my husband to create an unforgettable experience for our 5 year wedding anniversary. 5 years is the "wood" anniversary, so Chef Lamar setup a candlelit dinner in the woods at a nearby park. He had rose petals leading down the trail to the table. He plated each of our 5 course meals on wooden dishes, to keep with the theme. The food was PHENOMENAL! I can't say enough great things about Chef Lamar and his assistant Stephanie. Well done!

Chef Lemar has done two events for me this month--he did a great southern bbq for my family and then a classy dinner party for my husband and I and eight friends! His food is delicious and presentation beautiful. He was very helpful in preparing the menu and overall a joy to have in our home.

We had a group of 8 whom have never had an experience quite like Chef Lemar. From the welcom cocktail to the smoked tiramisu and 4 courses in between. Chef and his wife really took care of us. I am very impressed with the details, he explained seasonings, sauces, and his inspirations. I stole the show within my friend group with this experience. Thank you again Chef!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Nothing complicated. Cost of ingredients+cost of my time(reasonable)+ cost of any necessary equipment+ tax= your price. Any gratuity is optional.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I frequent food blogs daily, i subscribe to various food magazines, and at night watch cooking shows...so i'd say my time is well spent keeping relevant.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    At an early age food became my calling. I took all of my mother's cookbooks and cooked through them. Working in a professional kitchen, one often times looses that personal interaction and customer appreciation for YOUR food. So i do this to get closer to my craft and the people who enjoy it!
