I came across Gmarket from an internet search - and thought wow ALL five stars?!? And my experience…read morewas absolutely the same!! I wanted to plan a birthday dinner at my home and hadn't worked with a private chef before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The short of it is I was blown away by Frank and his team from start to finish!! Frank was very responsive after my first inquiry and subsequent (read: MANY) requests. He proposed an amazing menu while accommodating several severe allergy requests. I changed the number of guests several times, which he also just rolled with. And then (!), I realized I REQUESTED THE WRONG DATE. A major error on my part. I don't recommend doing that, but Frank was also somehow able to accommodate my date change. I was incredibly grateful for that!! The dinner itself with Chef Charley was INSANELY DELICIOUS. We had an amazing round of starters, followed by a multi-course dinner and dessert. Everything was just SO, SO good. So flavorful. Cooked just perfectly. And there was plenty of food for all of the guests. (I was worried that maybe there wouldn't be generously sized portions, but this was not the case whatsoever.) On top of that, Chef Charley himself was an awesome guy and I really enjoyed working with him. We spoke before the dinner to run through everything, he helped make the dinner layout look gorgeous with some extra props I wasn't even expecting, and his cleanup job was A+. Icing on the cake for an incredibly talented chef!!! I am truly looking forward to my next opportunity to work with Frank, Charley and their team again!

It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to host our loved ones at our home. We trusted Gmarket at the helm and we are very grateful and glad we did. This team is professional, responsive and cares about their work in a way that translates to the table. Exceptional food. Our guests were heard singing the praises throughout diner, on repeat. We were a rowdy bunch and Chef Bobby and his crew knew how to handle us. By the end of the night, it felt like we were all celebrating the holiday together. We are grateful to Gmarket for the memories and I am looking for another excuse to get a caterer!

Chef Katie is FANTASTIC! My brother gifted me one of her in-home cooking classes, and we had the…read moremost wonderful night getting to know her, learning new recipes and (of course) eating the delicious meal she curated specifically for our group of four. Starting with our initial email exchange about food preferences, allergies and many, many menu ideas, and extending beyond the class to follow-up restaurant and recipe recommendations, the entire experience with Chef Katie was easy, effortless and fun. Everything felt accessible; communicating with Katie felt like chatting with an old friend, the recipes were as realistic as they were delicious -- meaning, we'll actually make them on a weeknight since they don't take hours to prep/use obscure ingredients -- and there was nothing stuffy or transactional about having a professional chef teach a class in our home. No doubt, Katie is as professional as they come. What's more, though, is she is a genuinely good human and a joy to be around. I couldn't recommend the cooking class experience more, and I look forward to doing it again soon!

My family has been working with Chef Katie for about a year now. I originally reached out after I…read morehad my third baby. My husband and I were in a routine of serving a "kid dinner" (e.g. chicken nuggets) for our kids and ordering takeout for ourselves. I wanted to sit down for family dinners, but I could not figure out how to work full-time, take care of my kids after school/work, and make healthy family dinners. Enter Chef Katie... our routines completely shifted with her weekly meal delivery service. Everything is prepped and ready to go so all I have to do is heat everything up at dinner time. We now sit down for family dinners most nights, and we are all eating MUCH healthier. A year ago my husband was 10 lbs heavier than he has ever been in his life, I was carrying extra weight too (for obvious reasons). I've never cared much about the number on the scale - but I do care about feeling healthy. It is kind of crazy to fast forward to almost a year later. My husband lost those 10 lbs, I am down to my weight before I had ANY kids, and am reaching into my closet for things I haven't worn in years. And I feel like I have more energy now than I have had since before I had kids. I am just amazed by the impact of eating good, quality, healthy food. Thank you Chef Katie!

Oooh how much we love Chef D'Andre. Last year around this time, my now husband and I were looking…read morefor a Chef to create a plant-based menu for our wedding in June 2023. Thanks to Thumbtack, we stumbled upon this incredible human being. Since we preplanned with our Chef well in advance, we formed a great relationship with Chef DeAndre over time. There were a few hiccups regarding delayed communication, however, Chef did mention that was because he was going through a business expansion phase at the time. He was still professional and was very transparent during his shift in business. Chef D'Andre lol, if you are reading this, know that from the very first moment we tasted your delectable creations during the menu tasting, we knew we had found something extraordinary. The attention to detail and the exquisite flavors that you infused into each dish were nothing short of exceptional. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the array of flavors that graced their palates, and many said it was the best plant-based meal they ever had. Moreover, you took the time to listen to our preferences and dietary requirements, ensuring that every guest had a memorable dining experience. You have left an indelible mark on our hearts and taste buds, and we will undoubtedly cherish the memories of your exceptional cuisine for a lifetime. You are an outstanding chef, and we wish you continued success in all your culinary endeavors.

Cooking for older people with dietary needs can be tricky but he was willing to try and did succeed. He even made a dish i saw online and wanted to try! See you in 6 months for the next soiree!!!!

In one word ... "Flabulous!" The description of the wine-and-dine event hosted in the kitchen of a…read morePark District facility mentioned assisting with food preparation, but we participants were more inclined to pull up stools to the counter so we could view the process. Chef Rob was just fine with this. He is friendly and passionate about his work; it was fun to chat and hear about how he transitioned from the corporate world to his own catering biz. Our menu featured Caesar salad, roasted vegetables, grilled boneless chicken thighs, couscous, and homemade frozen custard with lemon crumbles. For the non-cheese eaters in our group, Rob prepared a separate salad with olive oil vinaigrette. The chicken and veggies were very tasty, seasoned with nothing more exotic than salt, pepper and dehydrated garlic. There were practically no leftovers. The custard was richer and more velvety than Culver's. The only dud was the bland and mushy couscous. Before the meal was over, we were already contemplating a future event with Rob.

Rob was excellent to work with, extremely communicative, responsive and flexible in designing a custom menu including Kalua Pork, Shoyu Chicken with Rice, Pineapple and Meatball Skewers, Pineapple and Tofu Skewers, Hawaiian Coleslaw, Macaroni Salad, Hawaiian Rolls, and a beautiful Fruit Tree including pineapple, watermelon, grapes, melon. Rob and his team of two others arrived an hour before the event started to get everything set up well. The food was delicious, and the guests were raving about the variety and flavors. It seems like Rob has a great range as a chef and is especially accommodating of any dietary restrictions or preferences; in fact, we asked him to work around some specific unique food sensitivities for our event and he did a wonderful job navigating that. The pricing was very reasonable for such high quality, and I can't recommend Babito's Bites enough based on the incredible food and phenomenal service we experienced at our event.
