Working with ILC leading upto the event date about menu, pricing, and guest# was not difficult. I appreciate all the prompt responses and straightforward answers/ info. I was uncertain of going thru with a celebration that way because didnt know exact # of ppl (pay per person) and was getting overwhelmed by changing headcount a cpl times & bk/forth (adding/deleting). Shalyn was understanding & didnt make me feel like I was getting on her nerves or wasting her time. That was recognized & really helped. Overall, I'm just so glad I didnt change my mind! My family & friends talked about our experience for days (even wks after still brought up), we were impressed. And YUM... the food was on point! The chef was creative and very skillful; the plates weren't only visually pleasing but also flavorful. Table setting, plating, serving, and energy was wonderful. Our cups stayed full and our belly. Everyone was super stuffed and more than satisfied. They have a great thing going on, don't miss out. Give ILC a try, very personable. They will work with you. Thanks Shalyn, Thanks Chef! We Will Meet Again :)

From start to finish, the experience was seamless - communication leading up to the event was clear, friendly, and super reassuring. I did some other research on different companies in the area and this was the easiest to order from and get estimates. Day of, the chefs showed up early, got set up quickly, and were ready to go right on time. The food was fantastic and there was so much of it - we were still enjoying leftovers for many meals afterwards. Beyond the food, the entertainment really made the night. The chefs were hilarious, engaging, and kept the whole group laughing with plenty of surprises sprinkled throughout the evening. This is such a great option for a big group and made the celebration feel extra special without having to leave the house. Highly recommend booking two chefs if you can - it keeps service moving quickly and doubles the entertainment value. Would absolutely book again and recommend to anyone looking to do something fun and memorable.

It was genuinely such a pleasure to work with the Flavor Chef Catering team for our wedding earlier…read morethis year. Throughout the process, we communicated primarily with Madison, who was always kind, thoughtful, and professional during our interactions. Based on our research of catering teams in the northern San Diego County area, we were already leaning towards Flavor Chef based on their reasonable prices and menu. The team was able to fit us in at the last minute for a tasting, which is what truly sealed the deal. Everything we tasted was delectable, but more importantly, the team treated us with kindness and respect. Chef Derek explained every detail of the dishes and was incredibly accommodating if we wanted to tweak anything. For example, we had a few vegetarians and vegans attending the wedding, and the team was able to make about 10-15% of the appetizers (pork belly bao buns, bacon-wrapped dates, and poke crisps) suitable for these attendees. We also wanted the citrus flavor of the salmon to be stronger, so the team made a note to add more squeezed Valencia orange and to add more citrus-infused oil on top of the salmon. Our guests also raved about our food on the wedding day. Among the standouts were the bacon-wrapped dates, citrus risotto, and beef short-ribs. Several people went back for seconds. One of our guests wrote in our wedding album, "the food was actually good!" He later told us that he had been to plenty of weddings where the food fell short. He said what stood out about our buffet menu was that the ingredients were simple and locally sourced but expertly crafted and incredibly flavorful. We also had a goal of mango sticky rice as one of our desserts, which a family friend was helping us with. Even though the Flavor Chef team was not directly involved in this dessert, they were willing to cut all the mangoes fresh on site for no extra charge to make sure the mangoes didn't oxidize before dessert time, which we were incredibly grateful for. We also rented dishes and utensils from Flavor Chef at a more competitive rate than was being offered by the venue's recommended rental company. Flavor Chef also included vendor meals for a fraction of the price of the buffet meal, which really helped us with our budget. At every step of our interactions with Flavor Chef, we felt the team went above and beyond to make our day as special and memorable as possible. We would highly recommend Flavor Chef to anybody considering them for their special event. The quality of the food and the kindness of the staff speak for themselves!

It made our wedding feel like a real event. Without them it would not have been the same. We cannot stop talking about how amazing everyone was and how delicious the food was. The moment they started passing around appetizers all our guests were like WOW this is legit!! My now husband (hehe) and I were actually talking about how bummed we were going to be to not eat the appetizers because they sounded so amazing but they actually set some aside for us without us even asking which just showed how thoughtful they were!! The servers and chefs really made this the best experience ever. Every single person was SO freakin nice and they were on top of everything! They went above and beyond in so many ways too. The tables and chairs were setup outdoors in the most beautiful way- it was exactly what I envisioned. Literally as we sat down, it started raining!! I was devastated. But they did not hesitate at all. They jumped in and moved EVERYTHING soo fast and with no complaints. And they made it just as beautiful as the first time. That moment could have turned into a disaster but they saved it. They truly elevated everything and they really cared. They seemed so happy to be there and obviously love what they do. They never made us feel rushed, we felt so taken care of, and each one of them really helped make this the most memorable day of our lives. We cannot thank you enough - you have have a GREAT team of people and I would 100000% recommend them for EVERY event!! Also get the lobster...I have been craving it every day since. You guys CRUSHED it!!

To start, he created the most amazing charcuterie board with bacon-wrapped dates, fresh fruit, and a wonderful selection of meats and cheeses. We also enjoyed a delicious caprese salad with buttered toasted baguettes, followed by flavorful chicken masala served with rice, roasted veggies, and naan bread. For dessert, he made my favorite: yellow cake with chocolate frosting, made even more spectacular with fresh whipped cream and berries. Beyond the food, Daniel is so personable and fun--he created a warm, relaxed, and entertaining atmosphere throughout the evening. He even cleaned the kitchen afterwards, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I will never forget this experience, and I can't recommend Chef Daniel enough if you want to make your event truly special!

Dinner was incredible too. My favorite was the chimichuri skirt steak. So delicious. The chef came out and introduced each course, and we were served by his sweet family. Such a great night!
