Chef Stas and Chef Kam were so thoughtful and took the time out to teach and educate my 9 yr old son who wants to be a chef when he grows up. They were so sweet and included him in the prep and gave him some simple hands on tasks. My son really enjoyed it!!! Chef Stas and Chef Kam arrived at the arranged time to cook and prep everything from scratch! Dinner was also served on time starting with our appetizers. Our menu was for 6 adults and 7 kids. The kids menu consisted of Mac and cheese and fruit. The adult menu consisted of 2 appetizers that consisted of Tuna tartare on tarp chip and crab cakes. Festive salad which was mixed greens with dried cranberries, bleu cheese crumble, candied pecans with a maple balsamic dressing. An entree of pork tenderloin w/bourbon apple Demi glaze w/truffle risotto and grilled asparagus and brussel sprouts garnished with pumpkin seed and bleu cheese crumble. The other entree choice was a halibut with a creamy lemon chive sauce served with truffle risotto and the same veg. Everyone was served dessert which was a molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream! Everything was delicious! After the meal, Chef Stas and Chef Kam cleaned up and washed everything! Chef Stas is very honest and very talented! I would highly recommend hiring him for your personal chef needs!!

We only had a few days to prepared for a group of 30+ but he made the experience very easy on my end. We worked together to come up with a menu suitable for buffet style dining. He was communicative and helped take the stress off me planning for a big group with such short notice! As you can see I was so busy day of worrying about our party that I didn't even get photos except 1 starter but it was delicious!

Jason created a fabulous and delightful event, all of our guests raved about the experience. All the planning was done from my home on the east coast--Jason couldn't have made it any easier, with his responsive communication and great menu ideas. He created a fantastic menu, which was only surpassed by the beautiful presentation and delicious food. Everything was amazing--especially The Mexican White Shrimp "Gambas Al Ajillo" and the Maple Pecan Bread Pudding, both were off the charts. Portions were generous and leftovers were meticulously stored to enjoy later! Clean-up was impeccable. I couldn't recommend Flavor Affinity any more enthusiastically, Thanks Jason!

I have now hired Chef Lee and Whistling Pig Catering for two events. The first was my wedding two…read moreyears ago, when the company was called Urban Eats Catering, and he helped me with menu planning and (with his staff) cooked and served an extremely elegant and beautifully presented multi-course meal for 115 people. The second was a casual western barbeque last weekend for 75 people. This one had a more down-home flair, and Chef Lee again helped me with menu planning for salads and sides, and on the day of the event, he and his assistant kept two grills running continuously with burgers and brats. A couple of people told us it was the best burger they'd ever had! As a repeat customer, I can say from experience that Chef Lee and Whistling Pig Catering will knock your socks off AND stay within your budget. It will look like you spent twice as much as you did and the food will be amazing.

I was looking for high quality, prepared food delivery service. I kept bumping into foods made with…read moreso much oil, sodium, etc. that my husband & I were getting frustrated. I needed to reduce my time in the kitchen to work on new biz projects, but it wasn't looking like luck was on my side until... When I found Veggie Vibes online, I had to rub my eyes in disbelief. "Is this a too good to be true moment?" We ordered our food, biting our nails, crossing our fingers & toes. "Please let this colorful goodness be real!" I was home for our first delivery & from the moment I saw Perkunas I knew this "ish" was so real! From Perkunas delivering the food himself, to how well packaged & organized everything was, their recycling program for locals & most of all, the phenomenal taste of each piece of art, 5 stars is not enough! It's not easy finding a company that meet our standards. Perkunas & Magic have both shown they do care exceptionally about their company, their products, & their customers. With Perkunas' unique style & delicious variety, going raw is hella fun for the palate! We're looking forward to our next colorful selection & less time in the kitchen! Muchisimas Gracias!

One of the main ingredients for most raw gourmet food is nuts, and some use quite a bit of salt to get the flavor to pop. But Perkunas has mastered the use mostly fruits and veggies, along with herbs and spices, to make his dishes exceptionally flavor-full! The portion sizes are unusually large for raw gourmet, and yet, my stomach felt completely fine for hours after ingesting what for me was quite a bit of food in one sitting! Perkunas also uses the freshest ingredients possible, sourcing from small, local, organic growers. Something else to take into consideration when deciding whose food you want to put in your body is the energy that the preparer exudes. Perkunas is pure love - love for his craft, his creations, and his customers. I simply cannot wait to try more and more of his masterful cuisine. Five stars all the way :)

I attended a…read moreprivate Underground Ceviche event and wasn't quite sure what to expect since it was slotted as VIP only private event. I went with a few friends, anticipating great Peruvian Ceviche! It was a small gathering, casual setting in an off-the beaten-path location. The ceviche was perfectly presented, and came out to our table just shortly after we arrived. I couldn't wait to dig in! The fish was super fresh and thinly sliced, sitting in a lovely creamy leche de tigre. There was a beautiful paper thin red onion delicately placed atop the stack of fish. The dish was accompanied by a good sized portion of corn on the cob and a octagon of sweet potato in true Peruvian fashion. There was just enough spice from the bits of aji limo that was speckled throughout the dish. The bright green cilantro bits gave both color and flavor. It was all served fresh and cold which was a nice contrast to the hot summer day. You bet I drank the tigers milk at the end!! PS this chef loves to surprise his guests with special dishes that he whips up from the kitchen. You never know what he is going to bring you for a starter!

He worked with us to find the ideal food for the best price. And let me tell you. The stuff he made was delicious. Literally every item he made was a hit amongst our friends and family.

The food almost looks too good to eat! We couldn't have had such a successful big day without David and his food. It made it even more special because Rustik is a special kind of caterer. Don't hesitate to book them for your next event. You'll absolutely love it.
