A Dream Caterer!

I can't say enough about how thankful we are to Chef Rossi for creating the wedding menu of our dreams! We took a minute to warm to Rossi, thinking other vendors had a more "set" way of doing things that would be easier for us. How little did we know. Chef Rossi and her team are true pros who have been doing this for 20+ years and it shows. From the start, she was very clear and firm about what we'd need in terms of staff and support, while also being game for all of our wild menu ideas. In the end, she created a tiny Jewish deli for us in hors d'oeuvres form - pierogis, chicken liver, tofu reubens, white borscht, and more. Our mains were Caribbean-leaning - chutney, arroz con gandules, tropical salad among them. She even made a mumbo sauce chicken to honor my husband's DC roots. There is no other vendor who could handle a menu this eclectic and personal. At every point in the process she met us where we were at and found ways to turn our ideas into reality. The day of the wedding, Rossi and her catering manager Charmaine made everything run smooth as butter - and made truly the most beautiful catering setup we'd ever seen. The food exceeded all expectations - weeks later, we're still hearing raves. My Ukrainian mother said Rossi's chicken liver rivaled her own (words I've never heard from her in my life). My husband and I literally split the mumbo sauce chicken left over for us into smaller and smaller bites for the whole week after because we couldn't part with it. Chef Rossi even left a bottle of the sauce for us on our couples table. I can't say enough about how wonderful Rossi and Charmaine were to us. If you have a chance to have her cater for you, don't hesitate - jump in and you'll never look back.

Thank you chef rossi!

I cannot express enough how thankful I am for Chef Rossi, Charmaine, and the rest of The Raging Skillet team! From the beginning, Chef Rossi was warm and welcoming and immediately shared my excitement about the wedding. What I love most about TRS is that everything is customizable and Chef Rossi wants to make sure her food reflects the wedding vision. She paid attention to every little detail I asked for. Creating a menu and signing an agreement with her was such a breeze! Closer to the wedding, her administrative team was totally on top of every change and request I made. I felt at ease going through a walk through, setting up the timeline, and making sure all bases were covered. They have years of experience and that was certainly demonstrated from beginning to end. On top of all that, her food is some of the best food I have ever tasted in my life. It is not typical wedding food and we received hundreds of compliments throughout the reception. Every item on the menu reflected who my husband and I are as people. Chef Rossi is an extremely unique caterer and we absolutely loved every second working with her! Thank you thank you thank you! The TRS helped us create memories that will last a lifetime!

Chef Rossi is a true genius!

I cannot give Chef Rossi enough praise! She is truly amazing at what she does and how she executes her amazing food. She listens, learns and produces such fun and delicious foods. I’m the Mother of the Bride with a crazy uncommon food allergy… and once told, Chef Rossi took it upon her self to research and learn and made such delicious foods that I was able to enjoy! Not only was I impressed but our 180 guests raved as well! There’s a reason she is the best of the best! Don’t think twice… just hire her! You won’t regret it!
