Frequently Asked Questions
What type of food can you provide?
We. Can. Cook. Anything. We want to offer the guests an opportunity to let us know what they would like to enjoy at their wedding, and we want to work to accommodate that. We can provide a plated service, buffet style, or heavy appetizers depending on the venue. The fun in these events is working with the couple to create the menu of their dreams for a special occasion.
Do you cater out-of-town events?
We have a vast area that we cater to. We can travel as far west as Texas, south as Miami, and north as North Carolina. Due to logistics, we charge for transportation, which could limit what is provided depending on the venue’s kitchen.
How does this work? Do you just...come over and cook?
Exactly that! I arrive to your house 60-90 minutes prior to the agreed upon start time, I'll bring a staff member with me, and you sit back and enjoy the show! We take care of all dishes, cleaning the kitchen, packing leftovers, and everyone is welcome into the kitchen to ask questions at any time!
Do we need to bring our own wine?
We will provide you with a beer and wine list and recommendations for pairings on the menu. We are happy to include a beer and wine package if you feel your guests will take advantage; otherwise, we offer beer and wine to be purchased on-site separately.
Can we use your restaurant for our business?
We can accommodate up to 20 guests inside one of our Lake Ella locations. We can accommodate more guests with outside seating and can host up to 60. This will book the entire cottage for your party for a private event. Ideal for legislative sessions, pharmaceutical events, and intimate chef-inspired dinners.

Chef Leon cooked for our family of nine and put on a great show in addition to cooking a wonderful meal that we all enjoyed! We will not hesitate to have him back and look forward to the next time with Chef Leon!
Every course was amazing; the flavors were perfect and cooked with excellent precision.
Tallahassee, book this chef while you can! Contact was very easy with Leon; after a quick initial phone call setting the parameters of our dinner, I was emailed a list of potential menu options to pick from. On the day of our meal, Leon brought everything he needed to cook with, and we got the chance to sit and talk with him as he cooked in our kitchen. We loved the conversation as much as the food. Every course was amazing; the flavors were perfect and cooked with excellent precision. It was so much fun to talk about the food and cooking techniques, as well as just chat with Leon. For the amount of time Leon was in our house cooking and the preparation time he had to have put in for our meal (plus he bought all the ingredients), the price was more than fair. I wish Leon could cook all our meals!
Simply Amazing! Everything was delicious. ...we were all so impressed with his selections.
Simply Amazing! Everything was delicious. Chef Leon put together a perfect menu for a small intimate gathering, and we were all so impressed with his selections. The crab cakes were by far the best I have ever had. The passion Chef has for his clients, for his food, and for his community was evident. It was a great experience, and we are looking forward to the next time! Tallahassee has a great gem in Chef Leon!
Amazing presentation and great food! Chef Leon is awesome!
Amazing presentation and great food. Chef Leon is awesome. Book him now because this guy will have his own tv show soon and he will be too famous and you won't be able to get him.
An experienced chef with a great personality, we would highly recommend him for your next personaliz
On the set of "White Fire," a short film produced in Tallahassee, FL, Chef Brunson catered delicious meals that the entire cast and crew enjoyed. The meal of shrimp and grits/potato bread pudding was simple yet overwhelmingly flavorful. The chef knew how to cater to a large crowd and kept all of the buffet-style food warm up until serving time. An experienced chef with a great personality, we would highly recommend him for your next personalized meal either for a few people or a large crowd.
It was AMAZING!!! The menu was so unique, the food was superb, and the service was all top-rated.
