“Chef Tim is one of the most sincere and passionate people we have ever met. His love of both cooking and people make the experience unforgettable. He took the time to thoroughly understand our needs, specifically my wife’s food allergies, to ensure the meal was not only perfect, but safe for our special night. Tim is incredible and we can’t wait to utilize his talents again very soon. We cannot recommend him highly enough.”

Event Catering
“I stumbled upon Thumbtack while searching for a caterer for my sisters bridal shower and was so happy to have found Chef Tim! From the start, his responses were very quick, and he was very passionate about his work and the event he’d be working. We kept in touch regularly before the date to work out everything and then he arrived with enough time to be able to put a gorgeous spread of food out for us girls! Tim is very friendly, professional, food tasted as good as it looked and it was a pleasure to have him work my sisters event. A couple of my guests even asked for his information and business cards to hopefully hire him in the future as well! Thanks again Chef!”

Jeanette
Private Chef Extraordinaire
“Let me begin by stating that “five stars” isn’t high enough a rating to post for Chef Tim and company. From first introduction to the last bite, his team and professionalism completely astounded both myself and party guests. His first meeting to discuss both menu options and floor plan layouts was refreshing and further emphasized his sincere commitment to bring the best to all of his bookings. Every step of the process was stress-free from course choices to clean up times. My guests raved over his quality of fresh ingredients which were aesthetically beautiful in the way they were dressed on the plates. Our sushi presentation was incomparable as was the sushi chef’s personal creations. His staff was both insightful and knowledgeable of the ingredients being served, which was of great importance as many of my guests had severe food allergies and strict dietary needs. Our bartender was sophisticated and quite the experienced mixologist which ultimately won over several of my family members (which I may add can be even more finicky than our guests). The best part, when the party had ended there was only a spotless kitchen and a fridge full of perfectly store leftovers. His staff even took out the garbage and recyclables. TIM should stand for Tantalizingly Impressive Menus. I will definitely use Chef Tim again for my future parties and many of my guests have already asked for his information.”

Wedding Caterer
“We were very lucky to have Chef Tim! His professionalism is outstanding; he replied when he said he would, answered our calls on time, and made it a point to understand my graduation party event, our tastes, my allergy, and even the tastes of our guests. I wanted a refined and elegant menu that didn’t include anything having to do with pizza, pasta, salad, or bbq. He produced a menu that was also printable (great for framing and putting on the table for your guests to admire) that was delectable yet not too filling; (med-rare lamb lollipops, boursin-stuffed prosciutto wrapped dates) but also not stuffy- we also recommend the beer-cheese fondue! My favorite is the curry-chicken spoons. He arrived at our event in appropriate Chef attire with helpful written instructions and felt like a talented member of the family. Our only regret is we wish we had hired one of his staff to further execute, plate and pass the delcious-ness! It’s hard to do it all. If this is available- DO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. Additionally, the VALUE of hiring Chef Tim is very good- there was an abundance of extras and in all the parties I have had, (there have been many) I was surprised to see that my guests never ceased to be enjoying the food. Well done Chef Tim, you are sure to have repeat business from the Sanford-Basiaga household.”

Hired for Wedding Catering
“I can’t say enough good things about Chef Tim and his crew. He worked with my fiance and I (and on a tight budget at that!) to create this wonderful customized menu that celebrated our Mexican and Brazilian roots. Then he invited us over to sample the foods that would be on our menu and was responsive to the feedback we gave him. He even was open to adding a speciality Mexican drink (horchata) to his usual menu of drinks. And all my Mexican cousins said it came out tasting exactly like what you’d find in Mexico. He was communicative and helpful throughout the planning process, arrived on time with his crew, and served the most delicious food. I had several wedding guests come up to me to rave about the quality and diversity of the food. And more than that, Chef Tim is just a legitimately nice person and his crew helped keep everything running smoothly all night. I would highly recommend him to other brides in Palm Beach County. Thanks Chef Tim for helping to make our wedding extra special!”
