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!

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!!

Best decision we made!

Chowhound catered our wedding and it was the best decision we made for our night. The staff was incredible and worked seamlessly to make everything perfect and we got so many compliments from our guests and how friendly and professional all of the servers were.
But, the highlight was the FOOOD! I don't know how John and his staff do it. Our venue did not have an onsite kitchen, so we were nervous about the quality of dinner being compromised - somehow it was even better than on our private tasting day. Every single guest plate was plated beautifully and tasted perfect, which we know because I think every single guest told us how amazing their dinner was.
We highly recommend the tomato bisque for any occasion, truly was the highlight of our dinner and by far the best bisque/soup we have ever had.

Thank you to the entire Chowhound Team!
