About

Landing his first job in the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia was a clear indication that Chris Brugler debuted in the culinary world in a big way. From there, he was sent to other Ritz-Carlton properties all over the country. Feeling the call of the West Coast, he relocated to California to work as a private chef for high-profile clients. It was then he discovered an innate talent for challah baking that delighted both his clients and their friends. With that, Challah King was born and the word spread like wildfire.

Chris Brugler Catering is his latest venture, combining his passion for meeting individual event needs with the highest culinary standards. Now known for being one of Los Angeles' premier catering companies, Chris Brugler Catering appreciates the importance of the entire event expereince.

Regardless of the size of the event, his passion for food and determination to please, transceds all expectations. Whether it's a small affair, wedding or a corporate celebration for thousands, the amount of personal commitment and service remains the same.

Rick and Laetitia Wade's Wedding

I can't say enough about Chris and his team. We definitely didn't make it easy for them being that our wedding was at my parents house, not a lot of room for them to move around and work efficiently, but they came through and made our day so special. We highly highly highly recommend Chris and his team. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you Chris & Team!

Hiring Chris was the best decision we could have made for our intimate wedding. His passion for food shows, and our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed the food. So are we! Chris is responsive, caring, and a joy to work with. His staff as well. Thank you Chris & Staff for everything!

mind-blowing food

Hands down the best part of our wedding.
As a bride I second-guessed EVERYTHING. I wanted every detail to be perfect, obviously lol. Chris was our first catering choice and our first tasting. We were absolutely blown away not only by the food (and we are very much "foodies"), but also by his hospitality. Every single tasting after (with the most well-known, recommended companies in Los Angeles) was so lackluster. You could give him an "idea" and he will create a masterpiece... not even exaggerating. He was our favorite person and favorite vendor- not because he's amazing in the kitchen ( he's unbelievable obviously) but because we instantly felt like family. Every single dish was melt-in-your-mouth phenomenal. whatever we requested, he found a way to perfect it. If we had to do everything over I wouldn't choose anyone else but him and his team. Everyone is STILL talking about the food to this day... and its been two years lol. I can't explain how grateful I am for him and his team.

Chris and his entire team were amazing. Our guests raved about our food - from our charcuterie board and appetizers during cocktail hour to our dinner, everyone was absolutely amazed. Not only was the food top notch, but the service was absolutely incredible. I highly recommend Chris Brugler to anyone looking for an incredible wedding caterer.

I recently hired Chris Brugler Catering to cater my wedding of 100 people and it was one of the best choices that I could have made. Chris and Cindy were absolutely wonderful to work with--super responsive and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. CBC is very reasonably priced and they worked with my budget---and considering the quality of the food they provide it's a REALLY good deal-much better than other vendors I had received quotes from. In addition, they are such professionals and are really hard working--it was literally one of the hottest days of the year and they spent the afternoon outside cooking and prepping in the heat and the food was just amazing.
We served our meal family style and had the following:
-Lavender roasted chicken breast - super juicy and tender
-Pepper crusted filet of beef - this was such a big hit and people couldnt stop raving about how delicious it was--it was melt in your mouth tender
-Green beans with roasted mushrooms - Fresh and the perfect amount of crispness (I hate soggy green beans)
-Roasted fingerling potatoes with creme fraiche - Crispy skin and perfectly cooked
-Arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette - it even had edible flowers and watermelon radishes. It was beautiful and tasty!

Really, if you want exceptional food and to work with great people who go above and beyond-HIRE THEM NOW!

Thanks Chris, Cindy, and the rest of the team for helping to make our wedding so perfect-You're the best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
