Chef Tim could easily be a Michelin star rated chef. His cooking is artistry. I swear, everyone…read moresaid at a recent catered 4th of July dinner, that it was one of the best meals they had had in a very, very long time. He easily tops the finest restaurants. I cannot recommend him highly enough. We will use him over and over again as long as he decides to keep this up. Also, his prices are extremely reasonable considering the quality of the meals he prepares. Thanks Tim, David Winn

We had Tim come to our VRBO in Lago Vista on the lake and he absolutely KILLED IT!!! His food was…read moretremendous and his client first attitude allowed us to make our vacation about having fun not making meals! He was prompt and responsive and friendly the whole time... He shopped on our behalf and made us a omelette bar, ribeye steak dinner, Belgian waffle bar and a shrimp pasta dinner. On top of that he went above and beyond to drop off fire wood so we could do a bonfire and have s'mores. In short, he was professional, reasonably priced, and the food was AMAZING! Work with Tim for your in house catering needs and you WILL BE HAPPY that you did! Jesse

Chef Danny created some amazing small bites that jived really well with the tasting. He also interacts with the group and you can see how much this man really loves cooking! My ultimate favorite was his bread pudding. Drooling just thinking about it. I think dinner parties are way cooler than restaurants after this Whiskey dinner. Cheers to being a winner winner chicken dinner!

I have organized quite a few events before, personal and corporate, and I have to say Gourmet Gals…read moredid take out all the headaches for me. I had to organize a corporate reception at a private home and I could not have chosen a better business to work with. I did diligent research and talked to multiple business owners about my event, received various quotes and I. The whole picking process Gourmet Gals were a front runner. I was very happy that they were able to offer catering services as well as bartending services. I did not have to deal with 2 different companies. I was impressed with their professionalism, quick response time, thorough follow up, and putting together a menu that was exactly what I asked for. Sherri was a pleasure to work with and she responded super quickly to all requests, including a slight budget change. The food was delicious. Exec. Chef Mark prepared food on site and it was the most fresh, tasty beautifully presented. Passed Hors d'oeuvre Chicken Diablos had a little kick to them, as the bacon wrapped chicken had some pickled jalapeños. Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms were particularly tasty for me, with flavors singing and dancing together. Beef on sliders was very high grade, and had even two slices per each slider. Grilled veggies were a hit, and Feta and Garlic dip was very popular as well. Petite sweets and berries with fresh whipped cream topped the party. We had 4 people on site from Gourmet Gals: Mark the chef who did an amazing job, Rebecca the manager to make sure everything goes smoothly, Vivian who passed around food and made sure food was presented and replenished, and our bartender who made sure everybody had a drink in their hands. Thank you Gourmet Gals for your professionalism and for going extra mile to have a successful event!

Sherri worked with us for several months leading up to the event and did her best to tailor the dinner to our needs. Her team showed up early and then disappeared into the background. Our guests seemed to love the food and when the event was over, we found that she had made two additional plates of food just for us, and then placed all of the leftovers in a nice neat container for guests to enjoy the next day. I would highly recommend them. Thanks Sherri and team.

We had a party of eight that Chef Nic thoughtfully prepared for us. The process, from beginning to…read moreend, was easy and the communication was excellent. I'm sad I was so busy enjoying the food that we forgot to take pics! We are an older foodie bunch, all whom have hosted with private chefs before and this one did not disappoint any of us! I asked for unique items (i.e. something I don't usually have or can cook myself) and Chef Nic sent me suggestions to choose from. We ended up with a 5-course meal which was way too much food, so afterwards we asked, "What course would we have skipped?" and couldn't decide! Chef brought most of the food prepared enough for ease of cooking and serving, and brought it all out in surprisingly even serving times. The chef immaculately clean-up my kitchen and even started the dishwasher. We highly recommend Chef Nic and Gather & Forge.

Pulled pork soft tacos that melted in your mouth, chicken "lollipops" with homemade bleu cheese dressing and spicy chili sauce for dipping, cole slaw, marinated sweet and sour vegetable salad, grilled sweet potato fries and an incredible Mexican parfait for dessert! I was truly impressed with her professionalism. She was punctual, accomodating to our requests, offered up recipes and tips on cooking and as a bonus, she is one of the friendliest chefs I have had the pleasure to meet!

I never thought a private chef would be accessible to me but when I did the numbers, this was equivalent to the 3-4x a week I was going out to eat and when they go grocery shopping for me, they end of spending less than what I would. In addition, I love that this creates rewarding work for trained chef providing them with the work life balance they need to be happy as well!

Professional, talented, pleasant, and efficient crew. They had us set up in under thirty minutes. I can't thank Urban Cowboy enough for the care they took to ensure our event was successful.
