We are a boutique caterer & personal chef service. All of our chefs strive for perfection in the food we buy, to the way we present it. This site charges us professionals upwards of $75 just to send you a quote. This will be passed on to you, but you can avoid this by searching us on Google We keep adding new services to compliment our core service, which is cooking great food for clients who appreciate the finer things in life. Our latest service is offering a "Live Kitchen" at Weddings, Graduations, Corporate catering & larger events. We bring everything you would see in a restaurant kitchen, and cook in front of your guests. We always make bread from scratch, and we are only governed by your imagination. If you can think it, Chef Mike & his team will make it happen. I have had a very Privileged past. I've cooked for many Celebrities and even Royalty. The best part of my job is meeting a wide diverse selection of the general population. I love to see people's reactions to what I have created for them.
Reviews
Excellent experience. The food was absolutely delicious!
We really enjoyed Chef! He prepared food for our wedding at our home and it was wonderful. We received rave reviews from all of our guests regarding how great the food/selection was. We served heavy appetizers as the wedding was more of a cocktail party. He is very talented and personable and a joy to work with. We will definitely choose him again
We hired Michael for our daughter’s graduation party. I can’t begin to say enough good things about our experience. From the very beginning Michael was responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He helped us plan the food and setup for the party with many good suggestions and made us feel at ease about the party. There were some unexpected events that came up just prior to our party but Michael and team overcame them and catered our party beautifully - such a dependable team!! The food was fantastic and they made the best egg drop soup I have ever tasted. I highly recommend the Freelance Chef!
Excellent job! The food was delicious! Really made our event memorable. Michael did a great job with planning the menu, preparing the luncheon and the clean up. I was worried about the travel logistics for our event in Toledo, Ohio but Michael made the distance and flexibility, not even an issue. I plan to hire him for our next catered event.
He was very professional and had amazing ideas. Highly recommend Chef Michael Jay!
Impressed with everything, especially the delicious food. So many choices, gladly worked within our lifestyle re: food. Only wish I had taken pictures, will next time! Thank you Chef!!!
Michael and his team were awesome. The turkey dinner included many options, was very delicious, fresh, and hot. The employees really enjoyed it. They served it right from their kitchen. I appreciate them coming the night before and spending the day with us! I hope to work with them again!
We had a wonderful experience with the Freelance Chef! They arrived on time and got straight to work. The food that they served was beyond anything I could have imagined!! We had such a great time with them, we loved having them hang out in the kitchen with us while they worked!! We cannot wait to use them again!!!
We ordered a simple lunch for our event--sandwiches, chips, and cookies, but the lunch definitely exceeded my expectations. sandwiches were served on fresh-baked bread, the cookies were baked, not yucky store-bought, the presentation of the food was appealing. We were really pleased and would definitely use the Freelance Chef again. Try them, you will not be disappointed!
We are so pleased with the party chef and catering services provided for our Halloween Party. We gave him a budget and a couple of ideas, he created the whole menu; which the guests raved about! His staff was eager to help, responsive to requests, quick to help in any way. They provided bat service, food service and brought their kitchen on wheels to give us and our guests an amazing evening of food, drink and added niceties. Thank you for a great party evening! We look forward to working with you again!
Michael Jay was very responsive and he answered all questions. His team arrived on time and did a very nice job of preparing our meal and serving it. The appetizer and dessert were excellent but the main course was just average. Overall, however, it was a good experience.
We hired him and his staff for a 3-day corporate meeting event that included our Board of Directors. The food was excellent and his staff was accommodating with last minute changes and they were amazing. The food was complimented by many over the 3-day meeting event including the remark he is "the best caterer we have ever had here!" We have requested he return to cater our next upcoming event in October. I would highly recommend him; the food quality and service was wonderful!
Food was just ok. They worked hard but dinner was late.
Michael Jay was extremely professional and the quality of his food was excellent. We loved the idea that he cooked on site and everything was fresh and delicious. We would recommend him to our friends and we will definitely use his services again!
He and his assistant were very professional and prompt. When he was done my kitchen looked as if it had not even been used. The food was amazing!! I could not have been more pleased and I would highly recommend using his services.
Michael Jay came with an assistant and cooked a fabulous 6 course meal for 10 people. Every dish was wonderful and the left the house super clean. Amazing!
Witty, charming and excellent execution. The filet of beef Wellington was flawless. Definitely will hire Chef again!
Our perfect setting was made even better with a wonderful meal prepared on site and served to us lakeside. My guests were surprised and blown away with the quality and presentation of each course.
Michael was very easy to work with. His menu offerings were diverse and he was very flexible. My guests enjoyed the food and the presentation. I will definitely use his services again.
