    My wife and I heard about Chef John, owner and proprietor of Thymes of the Essence, from a close…read morepersonal friend. We had our son baptized a couple months ago and decided on short notice to host an brunch/open house to celebrate. Unfortunately that left us in a bind to prepare adequate fare for our 20-25 guests. Chef John to the rescue! We let him prepare the menu and then he went over it with us for our approval. Due to the time constraint, we weren't picky. But, if you have a menu in mind he will certainly prepare what you want and make some professional suggestions along the way. What he prepared for us was wonderful! We had a large chicken pesto sandwich with a fresh homemade mayonnaise, a classic egg bake and a gourmet french toast dish. Our guests raved about everything. In fact, most stated it was the nicest baptism open house they'd ever been too! He prepared the brunch with only the freshest ingredients, which is the way it should be. Chef John's services were surprisingly affordable too! Besides paying for the ingredients and food, I believe Chef John worked his magic for only $25/hour. I don't think most personal chefs or catering companies in the area can touch that rate. Just an incredible value! Chef John is Le Cordon Bleu trained so he's no weekend chef that learned how to cook while flipping burgers at Mickey D's. He's the real deal. If you are planning your next shindig and you're looking for a way to class it up without going broke, or if you just don't want the hassle of preparing all the food, give Chef John at Thymes of the Essence a call! You and your guests will not be disappointed!

    We hired Savage Chef to provide catering for a funeral luncheon, including setup, service, and…read morecleanup. Unfortunately, the experience did not come close to meeting expectations, especially given the nature of the event and the nearly $5,000 fee they quoted. To be fair, in the end, they knocked off several hundred dollars because of the disaster their inability to handle the job caused. The gesture was inadequate, considering our family did most of the actual work that day. The caterer arrived late, and only part of the staff showed up. The sandwiches had not been prepared in advance, the soup was not ready on time--nor was there enough, and twelve of the deceased's family members had to step in to help prepare food while more than 200 guests waited. Our family not only made the sandwiches, they also brought them out to the waiting guests. It made an already sad day become an embarrassing mess. The bakery bread we were promised was not used; instead, grocery store bread was served. Ty said the baker couldn't accommodate the volume of bread - we had this catering agreement in place for over 1 1/2 months. We were never told of this prior to the event. Beverages were also not stocked properly, and we had to repeatedly ask for refills. Some family members had to carry in cases of water from the caterer's car in the twenty-below weather. We chose Savage Chef based on positive reviews and the presentation of his food, but neither the service nor the execution nor the quality lived up to the advertising. Given the circumstances and cost, this was a very disappointing and upsetting experience. I cannot in good conscience recommend them to anyone.

    I worked with Chef Ty to plan a catered pho buffet lunch for a work retreat. He was helpful in the…read moreplanning process, was able to support our venues zero waste policy, and the food was delicious. I'll definitely work with Savage Chef Catering again!
