Hired on Thumbtack

Chef Tater provided a fabulous meal (and experience) for our group of 6. From the initial outreach, he was responsive, a pleasure to work with, punctual, and the food was beyond delicious! He made our dinner party a stress-free and joyful event and our guests are still talking about the food and his engagement with them. This was my first time working with Chef Tater but it most definitely will not be my last!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - casual • American - formal • Mexican / Latin American • Southern • Meal delivered • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

This was our first time using a service like this, so we were both open and nervous all at the same time. Chef Tater was very professional and responded to all of our questions in a timely manner. We were amazed at the ease of using his services and his amazing ideas on a menu for our planned dinner party of nine. The value provided is a huge win for us, and we plan on using him for our next special event. 5 STARS for CHEF TATER!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Lunch • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
