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 you provide a bartender?
We can provide a beer & wine service, but we do not offer a full liquor bar.
How do you schedule a private dinner?
Schedule a call with me to confirm the dinner date and what kind of food you’d like. Then, based on our conversation, I can determine a price point.
Testimonials
I wish I could give this review more than five stars. Leon is dedicated, passionate, and incredibly talented. Leon is a rockstar!
I got married last year, and Leon catered for the wedding. I wish I could give this review more than five stars. Leon is dedicated, passionate, and incredibly talented. He was a joy to work with. The man who is my husband now spent the better part of one and a half decades working in the hospitality industry as a chef. Given his background, he can sometimes have seemingly impossible standards for certain aspects of food service. I requested stuffed shells with red sauce as one of the dishes because it is a Jersey Italian classic which my family, who was traveling from up north, would appreciate. My husband wanted his recipe for tomato sauce to be featured in the dish. After several phone calls with caterers telling him no, we asked Leon. He exceeded expectations and went above and beyond. The tomato sauce was perfect, and everything else he had creative freedom for was better than what we could’ve imagined. Leon is a rockstar.
He is amazing! Great food, great personality - it doesn't get any better than this!
Chef Leon came to my brother-in-law's house and cooked a four-course meal for our family! We started off with crab cakes, then salad, then Moroccan Grouper, and onto bread pudding for dessert! All I can say is wowwwww! What an amazing experience! Call Chef Leon for your events, he is amazing! Great food, great personality - it doesn't get any better than this! Thank you, Chef Leon!

Chef Leon is amazing! He taught a phenomenal cooking class for the Jack and Jill, Inc. Fathers group. It was by far the best meal my husband has made and the Zoom live instructions were excellent! We can't wait to go to the restaurant!
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.
