I contacted Big CityChefs via their online form to inquire about a dinner party for my sister's bachelorette. I was emailed shortly by Chef Thomas, and we hashed out the details of regarding time and menu. I told him that we were looking for a relatively light, healthy and tasty menu.
We ended up with a great menu:
(1) Ahi Tuna Tartare with Avocado, Cucumber, Pine Nut, Shallot, Parsley, in a Lemon & Soy Vinaigrette;
(2) Sautéed Shrimp on top of Thai Papaya Salad (Green Papaya, Green Beans, Bird Eye Chilis, Tomatoes, Garlic, Peanuts, and Lime); and
(3) Orange Creamsicle Panna Cotta - Eggless Vanilla Custard with Orange Segments, and Toasted Streusel.
The food was fantastic, and the chef and his assistant were professional throughout. The chef was also pretty flexible - I found out the day before the dinner that one of the girls didn't eat seafood, and the chef was able to accommodate her (though she did bring her own chicken). They also took care of serving the food, and cleaning the dishes and the cooking area - at the end of the night, we just had to start the dishwasher.
The night went really smoothly, and a lot of the girls said it was one of their favorite nights of the bachelorette! I would definitely recommend Big City Chefs and Chef Thomas!
Thanks a lot for a great night :) read more
