I was celebrating a milestone…read morebirthday and didn't want to take everyone to a restaurant so thought this might be a fun experience. WOW was I right! From the first few emails I knew that Josh was going to be great to work with. He listened to all of my ideas and together we came up with a delicious menu. He had so many amazing dishes as inspiration and really created the perfect menu for me and my guests. Josh answered all of my emails promptly and with such a kind attitude. We all absolutely loved the amazing food and the entire experience! Honestly, everyone was talking about it for days afterward. It was such a unique experience for each of us. None of us have ever been treated to such a special meal in a private home. There were many great comments about each course but the Oregon Mushroom Soup was the favorite for many! My sister doesn't usually like mushrooms but convinced herself to try the soup and then decided it was her favorite course ~ of course she loved everything else too. Josh and his assistant India were just so pleasant and approachable. That made a huge difference to the experience. We loved having both of them in our home. And... they cleaned everything up! I'm very particular about my kitchen and they didn't disappoint in that respect either. I could go on and on but really just want to say that Josh exceeded all expectations. We hope to have another occasion to work with him in our home.

Our event was an appetizer buffet for a retirement celebration, and it went off without a hitch. The food was beautifully presented, abundant and absolutely delicious. Everyone was very complimentary. In taking out the trash, I noticed that no food was being tossed. A true sign that all of the food was excellent. Usually some food is thrown away but I wasn't seeing it at all. I cannot say enough good things about the servers. The food presentation was lovely, and they kept the food replenished. They were very helpful and willing to do anything that was needed. I highly recommend Biscuits and Pickles; you won't be disappointed.

Fortunate to have been invited to a dinner where Chef Dustin cooked and served a five course meal,…read moreeach course paired with wine. Every single dish was fantastic and contained some unique element that took it over the top! Best part - the dinner was purchased at a silent auction so part of the proceeds went to Feed Them Fresh. Win/win. We started the evening with some bubbly and appetizers on the heated patio. The hostess had requested a paleo style and Chef Dustin delivered. Smoked salmon on gluten free toast points was one of my favorite appetizers! So flavorful and satisfying and I didn't miss the gluten. The bison meatballs sitting on a bed of tomato jam and shaved Parmesan was a huge hit. we requested a spoon to get every bit of that tomato jam! We then moved inside and started our dinner with a gorgeous baby green and spinach salad topped with pistachios and pomegranates, adding both crunch and a bit of tart sweetness. It was the perfect starter. For the main course we enjoyed beef tenderloin which was expertly cooked, the inside pink and the meat so tender. The side of seasoned cauliflower rice was buttery and flavorful. The cherries gave a nice bit of sweet tartness to compliment the rich meat. Wines were specifically chosen for each course and when done right, as it was, it enhanced both the food and the wine. We ended the evening with a very light panna cotta topped with a crumble that added texture and crunch. The perfect desert! It was such a treat to have a chef come into one of our homes and prepare such an elegant dinner. Every single dish was well thought out, there was a flow and cohesiveness to the menu. Each course was plated artistically with colorful edible flowers and herbs. Chef Dustin was a humble chef, letting us know about the dishes and ingredients, but always staying a bit in the background letting our conversation flow. He came early, cleaned up throughout the night, and left leaving us all fully satisfied and content. I have no hesitation hiring or recommending Biscuit & Pickles for catering events or private home dinners. Chef Dustin will work with you on ingredients, both those you want and those you want to avoid so your guests needs will be accommodated and no one will feel singled out. Five stars all the way!

Rebecca was very communicative during the planning phase and had a wide range of delicious food options to select from that were able to accommodate a nut allergy and gluten intolerance. The biggest takeaway from our experience with Chef Rebecca (outside of an amazing meal with creative and unique dishes) was her attitude given the unforeseen circumstances - the power went out at our VRBO and then running water stopped working. Chef Rebecca kept a positive attitude and made the entire meal on the grill with one flashlight and a couple of candles. The food was outstanding and was of high caliber even with the nontraditional kitchen setup. Thank you again Chef Rebecca!!!

Upon my initial email, she responded within 24 hours with a request to set up a phone conference to discuss the details of my event and my group's dietary preferences. Within the next couple weeks, we spoke by phone and she was asked many questions about the group, the event, meal preferences, etc. We spoke so long the conversation become very personable and I then explained to her that I was looking at other chefs, as well. She emailed me within 48 hours a nice menu including appetizers and dessert. I was very impressed. I had two ladies within my group whom were vegans and vegetarians and she ensured our meal would work to their palette. When I made the decision to work with Michelle, the professionalism continued. Me and Michelle kept in contact and right up to the event to confirm the menu details, the deposit, etc. On the day of our dinner, we entered the home and the aura of the food and the presentation was amazing. We started our meal with a fruit pico de gallo mix with fresh fruit that was absolutely devine. She also arranged a charcuterie board with fresh hummus, variety of cheeses and crackers. There was also a salsa tray with blue chips, fresh made guacamole and two different types of salsa. Our main meal included tilapia, blend of chorizo potatoes, rice and beans and mix of corn and flour tortillas. She ensured everyone's needs were met and me and my friends enjoyed every bit. Michelle ensured the kitchen was clean before she left. Michelle is a gem to work with and her attention to detail is amazing. It shows through her work ethic, food display and taste that she has a sincere passion for this work. If you are in the Portland area, please do not hesitate to book Chef Michelle for your culinary needs as you will not be disappointed.

While we were touring Oregon wine country, Chef Michelle and her assistant Gina were busy preparing us a feast for our return. As soon as we opened the door, we were met with glorious smells and smiling faces from them both.

Then we fantastically arranged charcuterie board that had all types of fruits, cheeses, crackers, dips and breadsticks. We didn't know where to begin because we also had blue corn chips, salsas and fresh made guacamole on the table. Deliciousness at its finest! Our main meal was tilapia fish for tacos, a blend of vegan chorizo potatoes and spices for a vegan option, rice, beans and a mix of flour and corn tortillas. When I say all the food was fresh and flavorful and all the flavors just engaged so well with each other, that would be an understatement!!! This was a culinary party at its finest and I'm so happy I was able to have this experience while visiting Oregon. Both Chef Michelle and Gina went above and beyond to assure we were well taken care of and Gina even played shoulder shaking music to keep us grooving while we enjoyed our meal.
