Everything was fresh and very tasty. People raved about the salmon appetizer! Traveling Chef never disappoints. We had lasagna and salad as our main entree and it was absolutely perfect!

Just had an amazing meal prepared by the Traveling Chef for pharmacy week. Jennifer went above and beyond. All the employees here mentioned “this was the best.” Chicken and Brisket prepared perfectly and the sauces and sides complement not over power! Several delightful deserts!!

The Traveling Chef is awesome! They have been catering to my job for years, and I have NEVER had something where I said to myself “ehh that was mediocre.” Everything they serve is fantastic! I have never heard a single complaint among my friends or co-workers. If you are needing a great meal catered, look no further. Also, Jennifer is very pleasant to work with.
