Food you will dream of forever.

I cannot say enough about how amazing John is!!! We had ALOT of struggles due to venue changes and then Covid and then replanning the wedding multiple times. John was very supportive and flexible and a dream to work with. And that’s honestly an understatement. Not only is John amazing to work with but the food…. I cannot tell you how happy alllllll of our guests were!! Mark and I knew how amazing it would be from our tasting but our guests were ecstatic. The Mac & Cheese and Prime Rib were the BIGGEST hit! I drool thinking about it still after the fact. If you book Chowhound, know that you are getting the absolute best food and the best caterer you could ever work with!

Simply Delightful!

John and his team were incredible both with communication and advice before our wedding on 11/26 and with everything on the day of the wedding -- set-up, tear-down, ensuring that my husband and I were able to enjoy all of the food, and checking in on everyone to ensure that folks were enjoying everything.

All of the food was easy for large events and broad taste palettes, but our guests also reflected that it was different and unique enough to make it stand out from other events that they had attended.

Thank you again to John Breeland, Lucretia and the Chowhound Gourmet team!!

Working with Chowhound Gourmet

Our experience with Chowhound Gourmet was amazing!! They are extremely helpful, responsive and easy to work with. Chef John helped put together a delicious menu for us, and provided an incredible taste test with all of our selected menu items, plus some. Lucretia was the catering manager that we worked with and she was incredibly helpful. Everyone there is so nice and very knowledgeable about their craft. The food was a hit at the wedding, and it was presented perfectly. All of our guests raved about the menu and said it was some of the best catered food they’d ever had. I would recommend Chowhound Gourmet to anyone, for any event!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
