What a great experience from start to finish! Chef Charlie started with a phone call and proceeded to make a menu for my event. Made necessary edits that we discussed. Punctual, communicative, prepared, wonderful energy and amazing food!! Appetizers, mocktails/cocktails, 4 course dinner. Can’t rave enough about this experience. Would definitely book again. If you’re looking for a personalized experience, Charlie is your guy!

About Chef Charlie Funk
My name is Charlie Funk, and I’ve spent years in high-end hospitality, including experience with Relais & Châteaux–rated restaurants. Now, I bring that same standard of service straight to your table. As a personal chef and event caterer, I work clean and I’m always punctual. I carefully source premium ingredients and partner as closely as possible with local farms and purveyors to ensure fresh, memorable dishes. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a special celebration, my goal is simple: to make people happy and create an experience you’ll never forget. If you’re looking for restaurant-quality food in the comfort of your own space, I’d love to cook for you.
Reviews
Chef Charlie was nothing short of amazing. Charlie came to my home to cook for 15 females for my 40th birthday party. The vibes were immaculate. The food was even better. I would highly recommend and use him again.
Charlie was incredible for my sister’s Bachelorette Dinner! He was had a delicious menu that was so elegant and filling. He was such a fun time and was beyond cleanly throughout the meal. It was the best experience and we will defiantly be using him again!
When Chef Charlie said Bachelorette parties are his jam, he meant it! We had a fantastic, super fancy, incredibly delicious dinner. 10 out of 10 would recommend Chef Charlie to everyone for any occasion. He worked with me to make the perfect menu for the occasion, just fantastic. So prepared, professional, amazing.
We had the best experience with Charlie for my boyfriend’s birthday. The food was absolutely incredible and he came so prepared for a wonderful night. The boys were so impressed with the quality of the food and presentation. He even accommodated one gluten allergy so she didn’t have to miss a course. Would 100% recommend!
Chef Charlie prepared an delightful meal for 25 people for my moms 70th birthday. He was amazing, not only did his food taste and look delicious, it was thoughtfully prepared, he prepared to our timeframe and was flexible. He was so much fun to be around, he drew us into the kitchen to chat with him. He felt like part of the family by the end of the night. We would 100% hire him again and again. You won’t be disappointed if you go with Chef Charlie.
Chef Charlie is amazing!! I hired him to cook for an intimate bachelorette party dinner and he blew everyone away! His food was incredible and impressive. He really went above and beyond to tend to us, serve us, and keep our glasses full. Additionally, his presence was so fun and welcomed throughout the night. Thank you Chef Charlie for helping to make our evening unforgettable!
Charlie Funk is officially a legend in Marana! He was such a pleasure to work with - very responsive and reliable, makes incredible prickly pear margs, and brought a lot of great vibes to our special day. He will be top of mind for any future events we have. Thank you for adding so much to our special day!
Charlie was great! He was very responsive, and very accommodating. We came up with a menu right away and it was some of the best food we've had! I don't know how he did it in a small AirBnB kitchen but he pulled out an amazing dinner. 10/10 would recommend him.
I hired Chef Charlie for a girls weekend getaway in New Buffalo Michigan. To say the entire experience was absolutely spectacular would be an understatement. Charlie cooked us the most unbelievable meal… from the delicious cocktails, the savory hors de oeuvres, the scrumptious entree and sides to the yummy dessert. Charlie was prompt, very detail oriented, cleaned up thoroughly after he was done and had such an easy going, delightful personality! Every one of the ladies went home with one of his cards and plan to use his culinary talents in the future!
We had a wonderful experience with Chef Charlie. He prepared an exceptional 4-course meal for 7 adults at a rental house. During the preparation process, he was very responsive and was able to accommodate requests we had on the menu. He went out of the way to make the occasion special with a wine pairing and adding details to a printed menu. The food was delicious and well executed!
