PERFECTION! I recently attended a dinner put on by Hey Chef! at a friend's home. Hey Chef's set up of the event was stunning: gorgeous selection of rentals (round tables, chargers, linens, stemware, centerpieces - beautiful!) They transformed the backyard into a perfectly lovely space for the event. The staff was fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, unobtrusive, skilled. The flow of the event was perfect from the greet at the door to the socializing cocktail hour to the dinner. Which brings me to the food: perfection. It was a hot summer day and the chef prepared a delicious selection of fresh local vegetables for a remarkably impressive build-your-own salad, with grilled lamb on the BBQ, fresh breads and cheeses and an excellent dessert to finish. After-dinner drinks were served as we spent a lovely time around the patio fire while the Hey Chef staff silently cleaned up after the party and left the kitchen sparkling. I recommend Hey Chef without hesitation. I know they do far more than just private events (personal shopping, staffing, preparing delightful meals) and I plan on using them myself as soon as the occasion permits. read more

"Hey Chefs, Wow! We certainly had fabulous comments about all the delicious food you prepared for us. Thank you so much for feeding our guests such wonderful treats and for making my life so much easier during our frantic days leading up to the wedding. I hope you all felt comfortable in my kitchen. I sensed that you work so well even in strange kitchens and I appreciated that you just found everything you needed and didn't need me to answer questions or show you where things were. The whole experience was fabulous. I would hire you all again in a flash. Thank you for cleaning up so thoroughly too. It was such a pleasure to walk back into the kitchen and see it gleaming. Wonderful, delicious, exceptional! And Holly, I am so impressed with your calm and professionalism on the phone. You had me feeling peaceful and so well taken care of and I appreciate you for that! Thanks again to all. Kindest regards, Molly and Bruce Olson" read more

HeyChef! is the BEST choice for your special home event, and I would look no further when deciding which service team you want working to please you and your guests behind the scenes in your home for you name the occasion. Grog is a visionary and culinary genius, and Holly knows exactly how to make you feel at ease with her attention to detail and warm loving qualities both on and off the job. Their service team is lovely, professional, and great company to have on site, and each of the chefs I have had the pleasure of meeting (and tasting their food) which was been several now, has never left but only the most delicious of tastes in my mouth. I give them two thumbs up and wish them maximum success as they have been the source of many events I have had the pleasure of attending. Thank you HeyChef! read more

On July 30, 2016 my husband and I hosted a party to celebrate the completion of our Tahoe cabin. We hired Hey Chef! to cater this event, and they were absolutely terrific! Chef Jacob was on target with his menu, and our guests raved about the food. Sous Chef Michelle was more than helpful, and really knew all the ins and outs of entertaining a crowd. Barista Chastity wound her way through the guests to make sure glasses were always full and no one wanted for anything. Post party clean up, taken care of by Michelle and Chastity, was done quietly and efficiently to the point of extreme; they even washed a load of kitchen linens! I cannot say enough nice things about this company. I would use them again without giving it a second thought, and I highly recommend them. PERFECTION! read more

Hey Chef recently prepared a private dinner for our wedding night at a rental cabin in Old Greenwood, and it was the most personable and special experience you can imagine. They were attentive to our needs from the point we first reached out all the way through the billing process. Having decided to come to Tahoe to get married without family and friends, we looked for every opportunity to create special memories. And Hey Chef definitely delivered. I would use them again for a private dinner or dinner party. I had no idea that you can have the experience of a 5-star restaurant in the luxury and privacy of your own home, and have someone else take care of all the details. Bravo Hey Chef! Thanks to Holly and Chef Grog for making this such a wonderful experience. read more

"Our experience with HeyChef! was amazing from start to finish. The food was delicious and the service they provided was incredibly professional and we felt very comfortable. The chef encountered issues with our stove at our rental home but that didn't stop him from presenting an amazing meal. Everything was well put together and you don't have to worry about anything because they do it ALL. We just ask what we like our main course to be, and they created a menu and went with it. They make sure they have all the ingredients, cookware, set up and even clean up afterwards. I would recommend HeyChef! to everyone! It's a great experience overall working with all of the HeyChef! team. We will continue to book them for our events." read more

If you're like me, when I try something new I'm never sure if it'll be worth the money. But boy, did HeyChef! deliver! From the moment we met they conducted themselves with integrity, delicious professionalism, and a commitment to making our vacation effortless. Having a private chef and server in-house for our special celebration made an unforgettable experience. From the office staff, to the chef and servers that come to your home, Holly Verbeck and her team know their most important asset is their reputation. It is a bit pricey, but you'll be amazed by the experience of bringing a chef to your home instead of going out. When we're on vacation we may never go to a restaurant again! read more

The meal -- delicious, the service -- outstanding and the staff -- the "Best" You made the evening at the "Elders" absolutely wonderful. read more

What a wonderful, scrumptious, delectable meal Chef Grog served to me and my family! Everyone had a favorite entree and all agreed that it was all just spectacular. My favorite was the lobster. And it was the favorite of 2 of my sisters as well. Both of them said that they really prefer crab but in this instance the lobster was clearly superior. We also loved the chicken, tritip, and pork tenderloin. I also heard everyone commenting on the delicious corn to the amazing tomatoes and we can't forget the yummy dessert. We might have to hike again tomorrow to work off all that fabulous food! Thank you so very much for an amazing dinner. read more

Chef Grog was just amazing! Not only did he arrive in the season's heaviest snow storm with organic Coq au Vin, but created the most amazing h'ordeurves, salad and french apple tart we've ever had! Little did we know Coq au Vin required a very specific type of foul; so Chef Grog traveled out to Sierra Ville to ensure the meal was perfect! We had a great time and loved every moment. The food was organic and wonderful, the company terrific and the snow swirling! What a wonderful pre-Christmas celebration. Thank you for making our event memorable and "perfect" as one of my dear friends commented the next day! Desmond and Alison E. read more

My Wife and I had Grog and Meghan over at our house to serve a sit down Xmas party dinner for 11 w/ o'rduevres. What a great experience! Every guest commented on how wonderful the food was and the service impeccable. A truly memorable experience for all. Hey Chef left my kitchen & dining room cleaner then when they arrived departing with "Are you sure there is nothing more we can do?" I rate the experience a Five Star. This was our third experience with Holly, Grog & co. and we are looking forward to our next... They offer consistent excellence. Thank you Hey Chef, you're awesome! read more

Wow!!! Both of you completely exceeded my expectations. I cannot thank you enough, Chef Grog, for the amazing recipes, tips , lessons, suggestions, expertise, creative ideas, patience, easy going personality, etc, etc! Holly, thanks for the great communication-verbally and written as well as the great recipes, suggestions and ideas. You two make a great team. What a beautiful dinner. I am also excited to enjoy all of the fresh food waiting for us in the fridge and freezer. I am recommending you to all of my friends. read more

I had a weekend party and chose to have it prepared and planned by Hey Chef! Chef Grog was - well amazing! The food was spectacular! Not only did it taste great, but was served beautifully. Every item was prepared to perfection, and at a pace that reflected and matched the calm and beautiful setting. I was surprised at how easy it was. Holly took care of all the important details I would never have thought of and the party went without a hitch. This is the best private chef company I have EVER worked with!!!! read more

"I am still on a high from the party. We could get used to that kind of entertaining. It was worth it. The food was delicious, lots of people had seconds, including myself. Keri & Krystal did things the way I would: thoughtful, thorough, neat, and clean. Even my knives were re-organized in an attractive way on their magnet rack. Really enjoyed the leftovers. With that said, it really was extra special and I am so happy. Some guests last night at volleyball were still talking about it." read more

My first time working with HeyChef! and I got to work directly with Holly, the owner. I don't know how I got so lucky but in this day and age when an owner of a company answers the phone on the first ring and helps me, well - I'm impressed! She is knowledgeable, friendly, professional and an expert in the field of in-home entertaining. I'm so glad I called HeyChef! for my party. You can trust them to help you throw a great party in your home, too. read more

Chef Grog gave ma a sample of his Cheater Spice and it has become one of my favorite staples in my kitchen! After trying it the first time I had to get more and Hey Chef delivered it to my door. I have used it on fish, pork and beef and it tastes terrific! This rub is the best seasoning I have had in a long time. I plan on trying it on roasted potatoes and it makes me a star in my own kitchen. HeyChef! can spice up my meals anytime! read more

The sweet spot! Defintely 5-star experience. We had a server at our home every night of our one-week vacation on the West Shore and it was great. We did all our cooking and the server was always working right behind us keeping everything cleaned up, helping with the kids, and giving us great service throughout our meals! The blend of DIY and service gave us relaxation we treasure and filled the bill for us perfectly. Thanks, HeyChef! read more

Hey Chef! has done an outstanding job with our client dinners. I work at Martis Camp we we often have the need for last minute dinners. These guys make the planning effortless!

The level of service and ease for the customer, is number one in my book! Thank you Hey Chef! read more
