Introduction

Welcome and "thank you" for your visit. Our in-home personal chef services can be a welcomed support for busy professionals and families alike or, as a service reserved for the most special of occasions like celebrating a milestone birthday, graduating from medical school, planning a pre-wedding event, returning from a tour-of-duty, welcoming a new baby or winning your first Grammy! Whatever the occasion, it is deserving of something memorable. At the end of the day, families with full schedules would love to come home to freshly prepared meals and a sparkling clean kitchen. Whether you're seeking a personal chef for an intimate dinner for two, weekly meal service or event catering, exceptional customer service and outstanding professionalism are among the cornerstones of our foundation. YOU are the most important part of the personal chef dining experience. Remember, celebrations are a time for sharing special moments with those you love and that is why we take care of the hard stuff, so you don't have to! Enjoy the experience...Chef Bree

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

When I was a young girl, my mother would say,..."money doesn't grow on trees you know" and I've found this to be true! You work hard for your money and we absolutely respect that. That's why we are committed to providing the best service and value possible for your budget. Phone consultations are the 1st step in capturing your vision for this service. Service type, venue, menu, service style, cost of goods, staff, rentals, administrative and production fees, are factored into every proposal but there are many other variables which determine the overall price of service. Brunch service, seated receptions or cocktail parties are available at your request and are priced accordingly. Fun, and laughter are always free of charge!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

First, we offer our sincerest thanks for your inquiry. There are hundreds of Thumbtack professionals in the metro-area and beyond, and we are most grateful for your interest. Next, we schedule a call so that we may collect a few more details concerning the service requested. Afterwards, we ask about your vision for the service or event so that we may do our part in bringing that vision to light. Lastly, we talk turkey!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

For several years, I had worked as a culinary specialist and instructor for an upscale kitchenwares & furniture retailer, teaching cooking techniques classes and product education. In addition, I worked as a sales associate and product demonstrator for Vitamix, preparing smoothies, soups and ice cream for customers. It was in this capacity that my culinary skills developed and evolved to a higher standard of professionalism which lead me to create Good Fork Catering Company.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Wedding couples have been a huge part of my customer base and I deeply enjoy personal chef services for their special day. Meal prep for families, traveling professionals as well as post-op patients returning home, have become an increasing part of my customer base.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Ask yourself, "do I feel connected to my service provider and is he/she connected to me?" Catering & personal chef services are intimate and personal. When there's a connection...it's a sign of good things to come!

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Good question! Establish a budget that will allow for the experience you truly want. Keep in mind, it isn't just about the food. There is much work to be done before and after an event. Site visits, menu planning, team meeting, shopping, prep work...these things take time. Before ruling out a quote based on price alone, read the entire quote. Ask for details to explain pricing. Remember, a personal chef is a luxury service reserved for the most special of occasions and we will make every effort to bring your vision to light.
