This is my first time trying a meal delivery service. I am just about to start a major kitchen reno…read moreand didn't want to eat take out every single night, so I decided to give Chef Swole a try before the reno starts. I have to say, my husband and I are VERY pleased and have gone past our one week "trial run" and are now entering our third week. First, I feel like I spend wayyyy more money than this at Whole Foods every week, and only get a few meals out of it. Second, I am a working mom, and by the time I get home after being stuck in traffic, cooking is the last thing I want to do. Dinner is done, and I can spend more time with my daughter when I get home. Third, the food is really, really good. Ingredients are high quality and what I'd make at home if I had the time. Fourth, portions are awesome. We signed up for the deluxe, and I split my meal with my daughter (15 months old) and I am more than full. My husband is always full off of one meal too. Sometimes for lunch we will even split a container in half and be fine (and we get more meals out of it!)

I've ordered 3x now I believe and I would have to say the last delivery was the absolute best. I…read morelove Asian foods and he hit it out the park that week. Food taste: In other weeks, I've had to add my own sauces. I always order the deluxe portion for 20% more food because the regular size is too small for me. I cook and add more veggies because most prepared foods don't give me enough. The only thing I needed to add to these last meals were a pinch of salt, but this makes sense because the food is made for all types of people. Delivery: I love the fact that the food is delivered to my doorstep. They deliver on Sundays and seem to be providing service every other week now. There are 4 options available but you can adjust how many servings you want of each meal. Service: No issues and I get a prompt response each time.

Carson is an expert chef and equally savvy social media maestro. I ordered a dozen cookies from him…read moreand was delighted. They came quicker than expected (about four or five days maybe) and tasted as if they were just taken out of the oven. The service and efficiency was 10/10. Carson also covers all the bases by providing a detailed list of ingredients on his website so you know what is going in your order. On the cookies themselves, they were the best I have ever had. Soft and chewy, they offered the ideal consistency that one looks for. The pumpkin flavor was not overpowering and the chocolate chips were subtle but noticeable. The recipe is perfect. The joy and creativity that Carson exhibits on his social media is reflected in his cooking. I look forward to ordering more from him in the future and encourage you to do the same.

Her prices aren't much more than going out to a restaurant and the food was fantastic. The appetizers, main course, fresh rum punch and dessert were all well received. From a server to bartender to personal chef, her story is an inspiration to all. Our menu had a Caribbean theme and was fresh, colorful and didn't weigh me down even thought I ate EVERYTHING. The only things missing were the sand, sun and tropical breeze. I would hire The Platinum Private Chef again in a heartbeat.

They were so good that I must have eaten 6 or 7 of them over the course of two days-- and get this, I don't even like pancakes! But these were soooooo good and tasted light years better than any pancake I've ever tasted in life. Oh, and the scrambled egg dish (with fresh mushrooms, tomatoes, etc.) was deeeeeeeeelish! And this is coming from someone who doesn't generally eat eggs, but rather only egg whites. I had almost decided to pass on the dish on the sheer principle of things, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. I ended up having seconds. And thirds... Add to all this the perfectly crisped bacon and fresh fruit platter -- and this was a perfect breakfast! Everything was fresh, healthy, and well-seasoned -- and it somehow managed to be both a light and hearty breakfast that didn't leave you in a food coma for the rest of the morning. In sum, I am highly impressed with Unique Soul Cuisine and wish I had come across this caterer a week ago when I was booking caterers for a family reunion event that I'm hosting this summer. Will definitely keep this place in mind for any future catering needs though!

Some of the thoughtful touches I've appreciated: great music playlist, printed menus, the beautiful presentation of each course. He is a fantastic wine and cheese expert and blends high end with affordable because good wine and cheese can be found at any budget if you know what you're looking for.
