Gmarket Chefs was an outstanding partner for our National Restaurant Show presence. Frank and his…read moreteam did an exceptional job executing our recipes and bringing our vision of the showcased applications to life. Every dish was prepared with great attention to detail, helping us highlight our products exactly as intended. Their support went far beyond simply preparing and delivering food. They truly felt like an extension of our team and were fully invested in ensuring we were successful. What impressed us most was Frank and his team's expertise, professionalism, flexibility, and problem-solving abilities in managing large-scale sample preparation while seamlessly coordinating through the many complexities that come with a major industry event. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and would highly recommend Gmarket Chefs to any company looking for a catering team that delivers not only excellent food, but also true operational support and collaboration at future trade shows.

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!

Chef Tim made everything fresh at our home, all the dishes were beautifully plated and tasted phenomenal. Chef Tim made a dinner menu that was seasonal and very flavorful.

I would highly recommend him for any event!

Joe recently catered a 50 person wedding shower for us in my mother in law's home and we could not…read morebe any more pleased with the results. Joe worked with us to come up with the menu, and while he can prepare pretty much anything your heart desires, we ultimately decided on the Maryland style crab cakes with mango salsa, Nova Scotia smoked salmon with creme frachie, dill, and capers on a crispy potato pancake and pesto stuffed mushrooms with melted mozzarella for the appetizers and then carved roasted turkey breast with apricot glaze, mixed baby greens salad with candied walnuts, sliced strawberries, crumbled goat cheese, drizzled with a balsamic reduction and roasted baby red potatoes for the entree. Everything was delicious and we received rave reviews from all of the guests! In addition to the amazing food, the server he brought with him made the shower a breeze for the hostess, taking the coats of guests as they entered, walking around and serving appetizers and drinks, and picking up after people had finished. During the party there was little for us to do but socialize since she took care of everything and at the end there was nothing for us to clean up! We actually got to enjoy the party! To top it all off his fee for all of this is very reasonable and you end up with a much more intimate gathering than if you went to a restaurant. Would highly recommend him for any event!

Chef Brandon Rogers is a culinary genius. I don't use that term lightly or with anyone…read more My sister and I were planning a 35 anniversary dinner for my parents. They had given us so much that we figured we would hire an in home chef to cook them a spectacular meal. My sister found Chef Rogers online and we got very lucky. Immediately upon our first conversation Chef Rogers was dropped into exactly what we were looking for, how we wanted things to be, and the quality of the meal that we were looking for. So let's talk about the quality. THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE. The meal consisted of tuna carpaccio (AMAZING), burrata (did not try), 45 day aged steak (so excellent) with whipped celery root (INCREDIBLE), and then a butter cake with macerated berries (HEAVENLY). It would be one thing if Chef Rodgers was an incredible chef... which he is but to really be so accommodating about the menu and just such an unbelievably nice guy is why you hire him. He is the total package and you're not going to find a better in home chef in the area.

From the unprofessional presentation of the choice of staff who didn't look fit for serving ANYTHING due to them looking as if they were going to play outside at an event; no hair nets, clothes were not correct for that type of event, facial piercing was unprofessional when you are serving at a professional event. THE FOOD...HORRIBLE! The dressing which was STOVE TOP, greens were from the bag and salty, the fried chicken wings was okay, I think it was from Sharks, but if the host paid for the food, the CATERING company should not tell someone what they can have, it should never be ONE piece of chicken and tell people that's all they can have, but rolled a pan of food on a cart out the door, as well as the inappropriately dressed kids of the staff that was there for what reason except to steal all the candy out of the box...there is more to this situation, but the staff messed up the kitchen at the event and left it leaving the guests to clean it up, all I can say is the wrong company was chosen as it was showed they weren't ready for the job! I DO NOT recommend this place to cater anything! I wish they had a 0 for the rating cause it was deserved.
