From the very beginning, communication was prompt, professional, and easy. They arrived right on time, fully prepared with a clear plan and a fantastic team. The food was phenomenal--delicious, beautifully presented, and the portion sizes were perfect. Everyone left full and happy! Pricing was very fair for the quality and service we received. What really stood out was how well the team balanced professionalism with personality. They were fun, engaging, and added to the vibe of the evening. I would 100% work with them again and highly recommend them for any special occasion. They helped make our night unforgettable! Thank you Chef D and team.

They came and catered our bachelor party breakfast, and it was just what we needed to bring our crew back to life. Chef D took care of everything, all we had to do was approve his suggested menu. The food was fantastic, they even surprised us with shrimp and grits which ended up being my favorite. Highly recommend Chef D for your breakfast, and based off my experience I'm sure he's great for lunches and dinners as well.

Very welcoming and passionate. OMG!! This woman can…read moreCOOOOOOOOOK!! She's very personable and you really just want to give her a hug and chat it up like home girls. The process was super simple. I found her on yelp. She hit me back probably w/in 15-20 minutes. I wanted a nice meal made for my wedding anniversary. Year 11 married for Hubby and I. I knew I wanted steak and potatoes. She came up w/the chimmichurri (which I knew I loved), zuppa tuscana and infused strawberry shortcake. She and her assistant/sous chef came over a little bit early (I was a little late ) and she was just awesome! Very warm, personable and knows what she's doing. They were ein my kitchen working their magic and the smell of mouth watering food filled the house. The soup was done first. Hubby basically melted into the chair after his first bite. Seriously! It was flavorful and light abs presented in a very simple but comfort food way. 10 out of 10! A bit later the steak, loaded potato abs brussel sprouts came out. BOOM!! Looked good as f*ck and tasted out of this world! The steak was seasoned well w/out being salty or over done. There was a slight non spicy zing from the chimichurri. Also need to note the chimmichurri tasted so fresh, and flavorful I wanted to eat just the chimnichurri w/a spoon or slather it on EVERYTHING!! I definitely ate at least have of my brussel sprouts w/this magical, fresh, herby sauce.... because it was that damn good! Eating this had me thinking up schemes... ahem plans to get Layha to stay and cook more... or everything . I can and end very much enjoy cooking... but now I feel like I can't go back to my own cooking (woman womp). Oh well. I already booked Chef Layha for New Year, my birthday and Mother's day before the meal was completed. She also made these cute and small bourbon infused strawberry shortcakes. Real strawberries. Simple delicious, and juicy flavor. NOT SOGGY at all. Not overly sweet. Flippin awesome ! She also made some rotelle nachos for my kiddos when they get out of school later. I'll be tasting that very soon. Probably right after I hit the post button . Either way Chef Layha has some real talent. She made my day as well as my husband's. Her food was impeccable. She cleaned up my kitchen after the meal and there's plenty extra food. We're going to enjoy this food the rest of this weekend. For real!! I'm so looking forward to our next meal(s) from her. I hope others catch on to her talent... but a tiny selfish side of me is hoping I get to keep her to myself. Sorry not sorry

He got the party started with a traditional Japanese salad with a delicious miso, soy, sesame dressing. Sake was flowing and Mark had some fun activities up his sleeve.

But getting food to the hotel would have been a challenge...either cook for ourselves or cater from a chain. Our host suggested we use an events chef and connected us to Becca Schafer and her staff. This proved to be one of the best parts of the meeting. The food was very fresh. She used local fresh ingredients whenever possible. She was sensitive to the variety of dietary needs for our staff: from vegetarian, to vegan, and beyond. They made from-scratch hors d'oeuvres served to us out on the patio. They also accommodated our schedule for dinner, flexing the time the meal was finished to accommodate our evening activities. The staff thoroughly cleaned the kitchen afterwards. We had to start an email list of our attendees who wanted chef Becca's recipes, which she graciously agreed to supply to anyone who wants them. Our staff meeting planner found the prices to be quite reasonable for sit-down meal costs. Lastly, you may be able to find other great chefs, but it's not always easy to find ones that were so enjoyable. Our staff had so much fun with them in the house, they insisted that Becca and her crew join us for a glass of wine on the patio. They joined in like old friends in our conversation, shared some fun stories, and were very genuine in their interactions with us. If you need someone to plan your event in the greater Austin area or beyond, Becca Events is a "must" to put on your list.

I highly recommend Becca Schafer Events for any event!

This was the first time i've hired a catering service to come in for a party because I usually like to cook. However after doing that for several years I realized I was missing out on a lot of the fun and conversations with my guests. Chef Eric and his team showed up about an hour early professionally dressed of course and unpacked their gear to prep everything and chat . We had opted to have an extra staff member come with him and she took care of serving, pouring drinks etc. which was invaluable I would highly suggest doing this as she walked around with Hors D'oeuvre and was such a delight to the ambiance. All of the food was incredible as one might expect, steak, fish, salads, polenta cakes and much more was perfect. Dessert was SERIOULSLY good - the Carmel Budino (photo attached). Aside from the delicious food and wonderful service we appreciated the extra mile the team went to completely clean everything and put the kitchen back to exactly as it was, they even swept the floor. I couldn't believe it. I highly recommend any menu from them and i'll definitely be using Culinary Misfits again in the near future. The icing on the cake was not only did they prepare, plate and serve everything but he memorialized the event by making a cool TikTok video which I am SO HAPPY ABOUT! Give him a follow on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@culinarymisfits/video/7190437522856529198
