The Chef’s Guide to the Big Game

While it’s true that I’ve called Thanksgiving the “Super Bowl for Chefs,” it simply wouldn’t be fair to leave out a tribute to the actual Super Bowl.

Thanksgiving 1981

It was a cold November day when I was 8 years old. The car was packed with everything we needed to visit my Grandma in Pennsylvania…including the most important thing: our appetites.

The At Home Chef Experience: Custom Menus

One of our favorite parts of creating events for customers is partnering with them to create a custom menu for their experience. In fact, every event begins with a custom menu, meaning there is literally no other event before or after yours that will offer the exact same combination of tastes, flavors, or foods. Your […]
