    Salmon with zucchini
    Joanna P.

    It was my first time using Dinner Elf - I received this as a gift after the birth of baby #2. I'm so happy I was able to relax and NOT have to make a meal for the family. Mandy was AMAZING. Her food was delicious, we ordered the salmon and fruit salad. This was supposed to be for dinner, but ended up eating it immediately after she left. Even my toddler gobbled everything on his plate, veggies and all! Thank you Mandy. Oh, not to mention...she cleaned up my kitchen too! Highly recommended.

    Here we go again!! Another incredible experience with Dinner Elf. Chef Michael came to our home this week and I'm blown away. He is a ninja in the kitchen. How on earth did he just churn out all of this delicious food in no time. I walked in at the beginning and my kitchen was filled to the brim with all of the beautiful ingredients. This service is unbelievable. It feeds us all week, is healthy and yummy, and the elf's are awesome and really know how to grocery shop efficiently too. Please do this for yourself.

    Dinner elf is in the San Antonio market now. I can't not say how happy I am for this service. You will feel like a celebrity with having a personal chef come in to your home and cook. No doubt. The first we all sat at the table watching him make his magic in the kitchen. Come on people there is nothing like a man cooking for you. Right Ladies!!!! We had Elf Chef Nolan come into our home and cook for the second time. The first visit was a sample meal and now we had a full service visit. He made 3 main dishes and 3 sides for us. Elf Chef Nolan was on time! He came with all the groceries cooked everything and even cleaned up before he left. I have to say it is such a treat for a man to come and cook for me personally because usually I'm the only one that cooks in our home. Everything he made was season perfectly. We ordered 3 family sized meals and sides: Pesto chicken breasts with mushroom alfredo noodles (side) Chicken tikka masala paired with the side of mediterranean style couscous is amazing. The dish was very well made and season perfectly. I would so order this again. Blueberry pancake muffins fresh made from the oven yumm. Baked salmon and roasted zucchini All of the main dishes and sides Were placed into my own containers. They usually pack them in disposable containers and have everything ready individual servings. We eat more family style and I prefer not to have more disposable containers going into the landfill. Dinner elf can meet your dietary needs. Take advantage in writing your notes on your order. Dinner elf will be a monthly treat for us. Thank you Dinner Elf and Thank you to Chef Nolan.

    This was a phenomenal experience. They came in uniform took their shoes off without me even having to ask and got to work. One of the things that impressed me the most was their level of organization they had all the tools they would use to prepare the meals sorted in such an efficient way. I left my keys with them and went to work, they dropped off my keys later in the day and even sent me a picture of the fridge when they had finished. When I got home I laughed because the kitchen area was cleaner than I had left it for them. Sweet plus! Now the food is Where things really made me fall in love with this service. I am a single guy and though the service is targeted towards families I thought (rightly so) that it would be a great fit for my busy lifestyle (I am so cool). I order the paleo meals because like mentioned earlier I am cool and also I workout hard so love the clean tasting protein and vegetables. I never cook at home except for my 6 eggs a day (I make really good eggs, seriously) so normally I just get food form out either chipotle or elevation burger or whole foods, something along those lines. But the problem with these places is that the food is just ok and you need to go there before they close sometimes by 9. Dinner elfs food was DELICIOUS, seriously I am not bs'ing the food was freaking awesome, just really fresh and clean tasting, I felt good eating their food, enjoying every bite. Getting this service by these dinner elf people turned out to be one of the most relaxing things I have ever done. I can reliably go home when I am ready on my schedule not someone elses to find delicious healthy home cooked meals ready in the fridge. Great thing also is the variety of the different foods. I love chipotle maybe more than anyone you know but it is nice to get a good variety of truly healthy and tasty food ready at my fingertips. I am hooked, suggest a try.

    Cauliflower mashers, red peppers stuffed with grass-fed, no hormone beef, ginger chicken stir fry, mahi mahi with vegetables.

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.

Highly recommend Chef D for your breakfast, and based off my experience I'm sure he's great for lunches and dinners as well.

    We hired Chef Eric and his team at Culinary Misfits to take care of the catering for our dinner…read moreparty of 10. This was the first time i've hired a catering service to come in for a party because I usually like to cook. However after doing that for several years I realized I was missing out on a lot of the fun and conversations with my guests. Chef Eric and his team showed up about an hour early professionally dressed of course and unpacked their gear to prep everything and chat . We had opted to have an extra staff member come with him and she took care of serving, pouring drinks etc. which was invaluable I would highly suggest doing this as she walked around with Hors D'oeuvre and was such a delight to the ambiance. All of the food was incredible as one might expect, steak, fish, salads, polenta cakes and much more was perfect. Dessert was SERIOULSLY good - the Carmel Budino (photo attached). Aside from the delicious food and wonderful service we appreciated the extra mile the team went to completely clean everything and put the kitchen back to exactly as it was, they even swept the floor. I couldn't believe it. I highly recommend any menu from them and i'll definitely be using Culinary Misfits again in the near future. The icing on the cake was not only did they prepare, plate and serve everything but he memorialized the event by making a cool TikTok video which I am SO HAPPY ABOUT! Give him a follow on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@culinarymisfits/video/7190437522856529198

I reached out to establish a menu, he made some helpful suggestions and was flexible around timing. Deposit paid. Prior to our engagement he confirmed times and menu items and asked about any changes, we had a minor reduction in headcount which was no problem. Day of Chef Mike arrived on time with all the required items to cook and the ingredients for his recipes. Truly, everyone had a blast! This was dinner for six at an AirBnB in Austin, he's done this type of thing quite a few times and can enter AirBnB's with a passcode to start preparing if you or your guests are running late. Very accommodating overall. As far as the food was concerned, YES! Amazing. Everything from the appetizers to salad to main and finally desert. The hero of my meal was the Crab Salad with Ragivote dressing and the Crawfish Etouffe, stellar food. He also gave a bit of a breakdown of Creole/Cajun history. I would 100% book Chef Mike again. I know our group was smaller than usual for him but he was super accommodation. I would recommend him for any corporate event catering or group private dining in the Austin area!
