  • “When we need exceptionally yummy food for gatherings small or large, we call Damian and Amy! The food is always fabulous and beautiful to look at. The menus are always creative, flavorful, and meets the needs of our guests. The service is outstanding!”

    — Mike & Carin Rawlings

  • “Simply put, I chose Chef Damian because I was looking for something out of the ordinary for my 50th birthday soiree. It is a rare talent to be able to make healthy food that tantilizes the tastebuds, leaving you wanting more. I have no regrets and will absolutely be using him from now on. Delicious and healthy — Chef Damian can create a menu inspired internationally or for any theme. So glad I found him!”

    — Sarah

  • “I just signed up for weekly deliveries from Damian and the food is over the top. I had eaten his food when he worked at Body and it was my family’s favorite place to eat because we never had to worry about health issues or food sensitivity. The food is delicious and the portions are plentiful.”
