Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. You could taste the quality and passion in every bite. Beyond the food, he and his wife created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere--it felt like a fine dining experience right in our own home.

I would not hesitate to hire them again, they were top notch and they're so personable, they felt like old friends by the end of the evening.

Wow. Last minute we…read moredecided to go to Scottsdale for the Fiesta Bowl. Even more last minute we decided to hire a private chef for a NYE dinner at the house we were renting. I found Travis on Yelp and he responded right away. Randomly I realized he looked familiar and was married to a friend from my youth!! The food was fantastic and they came early to set up while we were still at the game. We had babysitters wrangling 8 kids and the chef was unbothered while making his masterpieces. The cleanup was incredible and the service was impeccable. We just need to come back to have them cook for us again! If you're local to Scottsdale don't sleep on the Twisted Tines!!!

When we got back to the airbnb, he already had the appetizers ready to go. The food was beyond delicious!!!! Ingredients were the best quality. Everything fresh. Everything done from scratch in front on you. We had enough food to eat again the next day! After he was done, the kitchen was spotless. Having Chef Steven as part of our special day was perfect and if I had to do it again, I would 100% hire him back! Thank you for the amazing food and the memories. I still have dreams about the crostini and the sauteed sweet chili shrimp.

We were visiting Phoenix, AZ for a Bachelorette Weekend and we hired Chef Steven for our Taco Nite…read more He gave us an amazing quote and an abundance of food items to choose from. When he arrived at our vacation home for the weekend, he was on time and he was prepared, he came with everything he needed. We were enjoying some music and playing bachelorette games while we waited and he danced along with us while in the kitchen cooking. He was so cool and he fit right in, it felt like a friend or family was cooking for us. While we waited anxiously because the smell of the food during preparation was so good, he gave us fresh guacamole and chips and salsa. He made this amazing street corn appetizer that I don't think I can live without. WOW! The steak and pulled chicken were both cooked to perfection. We had corn tortillas, hard shell, pico de gallo, rice and beans the absolute works, and every topping your heart could desire. We also had this delicious shrimp salad that was so colourful and yummy to our tummies. Everything was seasoned to perfection and prepared just right. Let's not forget the unbelievably tasty margarita he made, I mean I was in heaven, I wanted to bring him back to Atlanta. Thank you for being so professional and responsive during the planning process. You displayed such a beautiful presentation of food and we had an absolute blast with you! I will definitely keep you in mind for future events. HE TRAVELS!! Thank you for sharing your passion with us, it was delicious!. Many thanks from us 12 ladies! You made our Bride to be so happy, she was very impressed!

We had planned to eat later in the day; however when we opened the food containers everything was hot and looked so delicious we decided to eat immediately! Thank you Sandra for your consistency in delivering quality, delicious food.

Chef Lori shops for the ingredients and makes them enough dinner meals for the week, AND delivers them to their front door weekly! My mom is a very picky eater. Everything is either too salty or too spicy. She does not like to try new foods, new methods of cooking, nothing new in the kitchen. Chef Lori is a magician! My mom will try everything she makes and tells me that she actually likes certain NEW foods!! Unbelievable! I never imagined that happening. They rave about how clean she would leave the kitchen when she was cooking in their home. Now, with Covid 19, the meals are made in Chef Loris home. They've developed a beautiful relationship. When it was my Dad's bday, I asked Chef Lori if she could bake his favorite birthday cake. Her response? "I would be honored!" I asked if I could send a banner to hand in front of their home, announcing his bday during this Stay-at-Home situation and she excitedly said: I look forward to making your Dad's birthday one he'll remember!" That just shows her level of commitment, her passion for food, and her beautiful character. If you need any type of food service. this is your GO TO GAL!

I want to start by saying that the food and overall setup for my event were good, and I appreciate…read morethe effort that went into making the day special. That said, I do feel it's important to share my experience honestly. The package I selected clearly stated that a charcuterie board was included, and this was also confirmed in multiple text conversations prior to the event. While it was not listed in the final contract--which I did sign--I trusted that it would be included based on those repeated confirmations. Unfortunately, the charcuterie board was not provided, and I felt that my guests were left with noticeably less food than I had expected and paid for. When I followed up afterward, Coby acknowledged that this was an oversight, but still declined to offer a partial refund, instead relying on the fact that it wasn't included in the contract. He did offer a 25% discount on a future service, but this was a once-in-a-lifetime event for me, so that doesn't meaningfully resolve the issue. What's most disappointing is not just the missing item, but the lack of accountability in resolving it. Given the multiple confirmations and admitted oversight, a partial refund or meaningful compromise would have been the professional way to handle the situation. Overall, while the food itself was good, this experience left me disappointed and would make me hesitant to book again.

Neighborhood PSA for anyone considering using this catering/meal-prep service!!!!…read more I think people should see how this business owner communicates with someone who has repeatedly worked for him, helped him, and gone out of his way to support his business. This is our experience with Coby, from ChefMeUpFoods. For over a month, he had been telling my family member that he needed his help. Based on those conversations, my family member made himself available and planned around it. Then the communication essentially disappeared until the last minute, when suddenly he needed help and expected everything to happen on his timeline. When my family member understandably expressed frustration about being left without communication after being told for weeks that his help was needed, he initially tried to have a conversation about what happened. Instead of acknowledging the lack of communication, the response made him feel as though he had somehow misunderstood the situation or perceived it incorrectly. The problem is, the messages from the past month tell a very different story. He had repeatedly been told that his help was needed. He had repeatedly shown up, worked, and helped with this business before. So when the communication suddenly changed, he tried to express his frustration and address it directly. This was the response he ultimately received: "Watch how you talk to me." "I'm not your fucking manager." "Watch your mouth." That's how you speak to someone who has repeatedly shown up for you and helped you with your business? And this is where the conversation ends. After that response, my family member blocked him and ended the communication entirely. There will be no more back-and-forth. The purpose of sharing this isn't to continue an argument; it's to let people see the interaction for themselves. There is also additional context that I think potential customers should be aware of. There is a Yelp review from six months ago from a customer describing a separate experience with the business. In that review, the customer stated that a charcuterie board was included in the package they selected and had been confirmed multiple times through text, but was ultimately not provided. The reviewer stated that the owner acknowledged the oversight but declined to provide a partial refund, instead offering a 25% discount toward a future service. The customer specifically described their disappointment as stemming from what they felt was a lack of accountability in resolving the issue and stated that the experience would make them hesitant to book again. There are also multiple recent posts on the business's own Facebook page where he publicly apologizes for issues involving communication, follow-through, and delays in getting back to people. Those are his own public statements acknowledging that these have been issues within the business. I'm including that context alongside the messages from today because I think it is relevant information for anyone considering paying for catering or meal-prep services. One situation can absolutely be a misunderstanding. But when you're considering spending your money with a business, I think you're entitled to consider documented experiences from both customers and people who have worked directly with that business. The screenshot I'm sharing is only a small portion of the messages from today. The conversations from the past month are also available if anyone wants to see the full context, and I'm happy to provide them if needed. However, I think the portion provided already gives people a pretty clear look at how this particular situation was handled. Personally, if I'm considering paying someone to cater an event or prepare food for my family, I want to know how they communicate with the people they work with when something doesn't go as expected and how they handle conflict. Catering and meal prep require communication, reliability, accountability, and professionalism. When you're trusting someone with your money, your food, and an important event, those things matter. I'm not asking anyone to simply take my word for anything. The messages are right there. The customer review is there. The business's own public statements are there. Read them, consider the context, and make your own decision about whether this is a business you want to work with.
