Ross did a great job of catering a baby shower I co-hosted in Marin. The setting was a gorgeous home in Mill Valley and his good fit perfectly. His thoughtful approach to planning the menu for gluten-free, vegetarian, and pregnancy-friendly options, was spot on, and the attendees loved everything! He explained everything well and his eye toward local, organic, and non-GMO ingredients resonated perfectly with the group. From a price perspective he worked with our budget, delivered to the venue, and was super understanding as we hit a glitch on PayPal during payment. All in all, great additions. read more

Ross prepared a beautifully fresh-perfectly balanced meal of veggies, grains, proteins, and seeds mixed to satisfying perfection! The nutrient rich bowl of goodness that I enjoyed made me feel energized while also tasting delicious. The meat was smoked and seasoned wonderfully. I'm not in love with salads or veggies...but I would eat this meal everyday! Highly recommend! read more

Vittlesinc - Caterers Near Me

Ross has catered our office multiple times over that several months. His attention, no PASSION for detail is unbeleivable. Our main reason to have our lunches catered was our office staff was eating junk food and running out of gas by 2pm. i found myself getting caught up in the fast pass and forgetting to eat. Russ was in our office as a client and overheard us discussing health. Russ chimed in and it was immediately obvious he knows his stuff. We decided to give him a try. The lunches are no only "super food" but it is nothing short of magical what he does with the flavors. My only fear is he will get discovered , have his own television show and we will loose him. Russ you Crush it !!!!! read more

I have now had Ross cater to both a family camp and most recently, our wedding. He is just amazing to have as a caterer. The food is always delicious, but the service he provides take it a step further. He goes above and beyond in coordinating and organizing to ensure every eventuality is handled or touched upon. Ross and Vittlesinc made our wedding reception a big talking point with the presentation, the promptness of delivery and attention to detail. With the family camp, in years past, we always had issues with the quality and quality of food but Ross came in and that all went away. He is as reliable as they come and I will definitely be using him in the future. I can't thank you enough for making our wedding and reception memorable and magical. You rock! read more

Ross Rocks!!! He was able to keep up with a last minute change on delivering dates. My friend delivered her baby early and he had to jump in and create a menu plus deliver for a weeks worth of food to new Moms! Not only was the food delicious, but it was also nutritious! He cooked it, delivered it, packaged it and listed the ingredients. It was all organic and a custom menu to boot! Everyone was pleased! read more

Ross just catered my wedding for 300, and it was one of the most delicious and beautifully prepared meals I have ever had anywhere not to mind at a wedding. I have spent the 3 days since fielding constant compliments about the meal from our guests. Ross also gave incredibly sound planning advice, calm recommendations and was a consistent source of reassuring and total competence during the whole epic planning nightmare that is any event of this size. I would trust and recommend him for any occasion. I cannot emphasise enough the quality of his services. read more

I just returned from five days in the woods at family camp (115 campers!). For the third year, Ross and the VittlesInc crew ran our kitchen, and I wouldn't have believed it possible, but this year was even better than last year! All of our campers were nurtured and well fed, from the picky preschoolers, to the gluten free vegans, to the meat loving omnivores. Ross was a delight to work with before camp, and responded really well to questions, feedback, and strange requests. He is an artist with food and brings an energetic and friendly presence to the work. Also: the food was both ridiculously healthy, and over the top delicious!!!! I cannot recommend Ross and crew highly enough!!!! read more

I was so thrilled to have Ross cater a party for me. In preparation he asked a lot of questions about the type of event, budget and the food preferences I had and listened very carefully. The food was out of this world! Varied, interesting, great to look at, and most of all, delicious. Ross clearly loves cooking and his enjoyment is highly infectious! Both his talents as a chef and his can-do attitude were much appreciated. Thank you Chef Ross! read more

I organized a networking event for my company and trusted Ross for food. He made a wonderful set of delicious dishes. Everyone mentioned the food and the room clapped when I mentioned him! He went the extra mile and managed everything throughout the event. read more

We had Ross cook for a dinner party for 8 in our SF home. From the start he was professional in his interactions and easy to communicate with - we planned the menu and shared ideas for dishes and the style of the meal over email. Ross organized a time to come over and see our kitchen and amenities, as well. This helped shape the menu further. And on the day of the party he arrived with plenty of time to prepare and with all the necessary items. He was so fun to work with, he was great with our little kids - who were totally intrigued with him and all that was happening in the kitchen - and his food was delicious - seasonal and unique. I particularly appreciated that in the planning stages, Ross made sure I'd thought through all the details well in advance - considering the plates, serveware, drinks, the flow of the evening, the timing, the 'vibe', etc. It was a really fun process and one I hope to do again in the near future. read more

Ross catered our Fleet Week party for the 2nd year in a row. We had about 60 guests, so we needed a lot of a few items, as opposed to trying many different items. We had two dips, one a toasted pumpkin seed dip with serrano chile to give a bit of a kick, and a ricotta, roast garlic and fava bean dip. Both were excellent. We also had brisket sliders with pickled onions, coleslaw and chimichurri sauce. Many guests were talking about these, as the pickled onions complemented the brisket perfectly. We definitely will have this on next year's menu. Ross also prepared chicken and vegetarian paninis, both made on-site. It's not just about the food. Ross, who brought Bill to help out, is engaging and entertaining. In addition, he frees us up so we can mingle with guests, important when you are trying to get a glimpse of the Blue Angels flying overhead. He has catered for our friends as well, which is how we met him. Everyone loves working with him. Coming up with the menu is always fun, as he is full of interesting food items to consider. read more

Ross is terrific! Ross catered a dinner party for 10 in my home for my 60th birthday. Ross is tremendously enthusiastic and creative about food. Before the event, we spent probably about 4 hours on the phone going over the various options. Plus, we got on a videoconference call together so I could show him our kitchen and dining room, and he could see right away what kind of facilities we had, cookware, dishes, etc. I really appreciated the give-and-take that we established as we traded ideas leading up to the dinner. Ross clearly has some favorites that he likes to prepare, and he does them well, but he was more than happy to go with some fairly eclectic requests on my part to include certain ingredients and styles of preparation that are favorites of mine. In the end, his ideas and mine came together nicely for a dinner that was truly memorable. For example, i wanted a tart tatin for desert. But it is not prime apple or pear season, and Ross likes to take things in the direction of the freshest locally grown ingredients. So he figured out a way to do a peach tart tatin, and dry the fruit enough so it would hold together properly without being too wet and mushy. Then, I wanted to go with "a la mode" but he convinced me that it would be too sweet. Ross came up with a perfect complement: a buttermilk ice cream that had just the right amount of lemon in it. The two components set each other off wonderfully. It was totally unexpected and delightful. All the guests were thrilled with the food. People loved both the food & Ross' enthusiasm in presenting and describing each course as it was served. Different guests had different favorites but the homemade buttermilk ice cream combined with the Tart Tatin, and the sea bass cooked with a very light miso glaze were the two most applauded. Totally awesome, over the top delights, in both cases. Fish was perfectly cooked, flavorful and firm without being the slightest bit dried out or chewy. Before selecting Ross (who worked with a partner, Bill) I spoke to other candidates including people who were more classically trained. But they all seemed uninspired in their approach compared to Ross: Several gave me a perfunctory "I can make whatever you want. Here's my contract, sign it and fax it back, and then we'll talk about the menu." I just didn't warm up to that. With Ross it felt like a creative collaboration. read more

Ross exudes passion and enthusiasm for his craft. He is fully immersed in his art and manages some extraordinary kitchen circumstances and challenges with grace, humour and calm. He is both hilarious and completely professional. He puts what appears to be an almost unstoppable flow of energy into his food from start to finish. His impressive knowledge and intelligent delivery in response to queries is reassuring. He gives more than a menu of food. He gives his whole self into the process and the food reflects this remarkable dedication. If you're reading this in search of a maestro for your culinary needs, you can relax, because you've found one. read more

Ross made me an assorted bag of goodies for a camping trip this past summer. Specifically, beef brisket chili, lasagna, sausages with homemade sauerkraut, and mixed greens. Not only was the food delicious, it was nutritious, and easy to pack. It was great to have homemade food easy to prep after long days when you are tired and hungry. I have also been to a couple events where Ross has catered and it was equally awesome! I highly recommend him for all of your culinary needs :) read more

Not only is the food delicious and well balanced, the nutrition content is unparalleled. Ross sources from the best purveyors in the area and makes sure to do intensive research so that nothing but the healthiest food goes into your body. I have not met ANYONE who knows as much about food/nutrition as Ross. He's a great resource to have in a world where reliable information is so tough to come by. His knowledge of supply chains and biology makes me feel confident that I will be able to preserve and protect my body. That peace of mind is enough right there to keep using his services. read more

Chef Ross was wonderful to work with - we hired him to cater a brunch and he was easy to communicate with, worked with our budget, and brought a wonderful meal over which our guests raved about.
