I was a little nervous being…read morethat this was his first professional job but if he hadn't told me, I would have never known. He was very thorough during the entire process and even gave me recommendations when I couldn't think of different songs. I made a special request for clean edited songs and he delivered. Everyone loved his mixes and I received many praises of his work that night. I would definitely book him again.

I can't recommend DJ Right Touch (Andre) enough!…read more First and foremost, he is the utmost professional. He was willing to send us multiple different estimates, and was clear and concise with what he offerings were. The value was completely worth what he brought to the table, and if I ever need a DJ again, he's the one I'll call. The most impressive thing about Andre was his ability to blend different types of music and keep people on the dance floor the ENTIRE night (and I mean it--it was never empty). My husband's family is from west Africa and my family is mostly from the north east of the US. We asked Andre to keep in mind music for all generations and both of our cultures, and we blended everything seamlessly. I honestly don't know how he managed it, but everyone--from my young cousins to my husband's parents to my conservative grandparents--was absolutely thrilled with the music. What Andre brought to the table in his talent and professionalism is well worth (if not, worth more!) what we paid, and if we could do it all over again he'd be the vendor I secured first!

If I attend another one of his classes, I'm going to bring questions with me because I have direct access to an experienced chef. -Despite his teaching ways, he's funny. I don't know where he got his presentation skills from, but it's obvious that he's very experienced in talking to a variety of people. ______ FOOD I think Rupen cooks traditionally. For example, his butter chicken tastes slightly less creamy than restaurant butter chicken, but it's still soooooo good. Rupen cooked way more than he said he would (tasting serving sizes). I guess that's good for me because I got to get a bigger portion than expected. _____ TIP If you have tupperware, bring it just in case there's leftovers and you want to take something home.

He's incredibly personable and funny and makes you feel welcome to be in the kitchen. His recipes are simple and even transferable, he gives great inspiration. We made butter chicken, tilapia steamed in banana leaf and eggplant curry. The tilapia was probably the most amazing fish cooked indian style that I have ever eaten. We have made it at home a few times since the class. I would definitely attend his cooking class again! You won't be disappointed.

Living Social had a deal where you would pay $100 for a personal chef from Insatiable Bites to come…read moreto your home and prepare a 3 course meal for 2 people that included wine. I thought, gee, this sounds pretty awesome, let me give it a whirl. The personal chef, in this case it was the owner Rakita, comes to your home with her own ingredients/food and prepares the entire meal for you. They do use your pots/pans and cooking utensils. The only thing they require of you is a working stove and oven, other than that, you can sit back and relax and have them cook and CLEAN UP for you. Yes, you read that correctly, they even wash the dishes and clean up after preparing the meal. They serve you the wine and all of your courses, so you literally can sit back and relax. Who's the genius that thought of this idea because I can truly get used to this!!!! I was able to choose my menu from her various selections of a prefix menu. I decided on the "Southern/Cajun Influenced" dinner. This included: Appetizers - Deviled Eggs Main Course: Smothered Chicken with Braised Collard Greens and Seasoned Potatoes Dessert: Signature Pound Cake. Everything was delicious! Granted a few issues occured with the potatoes and chicken not being cooked thoroughly, but Rakita promptly corrected the issue. The portions were plenty for 2 people to devour. I would've loved bigger slices of cake (it was jammin' on the one) but I'm a little on the greedy side when it comes to delicious desserts, so what would you expect from me! If you plan on booking this catering company for an occasion, you must BOOK EARLY! Weekends are understandably their busiest time, but if you plan well in advance I'm sure they will be able to accommodate your schedule. Also, after you do book your catering experience, make sure you request a confirmation/reminder email from the staff because I experienced some confusion on the date of my dinner. Keep in mind that they serve Hyattsville and surrounding areas. Check with IB to make sure they serve your area. They not only cater romantic dinners for 2 like I requested, but they also cater private events/celebrations, teach culinary demonstrations and wine/food pairings. IB also has gift certificates available. All and all I enjoyed my personal chef experience. Rakita was a very friendly, professional and down to earth person, who just so happens to be able to cook her tail off! Kudos to Insatiable Bites, a creative idea that I'm sure will continue to grow and grow!
