BEST MOBILE CHEF — Local services in Georgetown

I reached out to Shawna for the personal chef services as my husband and I both work full time, we have an infant, it's COVID time and we wanted some elevated meals that were really convenient. Things were a bit disorganized from the beginning - she had me confused with someone else, I would get a response to my email via text and vice versa, and then someone else was emailing and texting me as well. It was a toss up whether we got one or two sides. But the most frustrating part was that I had to remind her several times of our restrictions and preferences: we would get menus filled with things we didn't eat or something would show up and I'd have to pick out a vegetable I specifically asked not to have. We did get a menu every week, things were delivered on time if not early, Destiny was very nice and responses were quick so that was all appreciated. The food itself was...okay. Some items/meals were good, I was exposed to some new stuff I enjoyed, and the portions were HUGE. While I gave positive feedback as well, when asked for more flavor and spices overall (we got broccoli that was plain and maybe lightly steamed) or told her repeatedly the chicken was tough and overcooked, I got a defensive tone back. The worst was when we got extremely dry, inedible cornbread - I looked at the receipt and there was a PACKET OF CORNBREAD MIX on there! When I told her we would prefer that didn't happen again she asked if I meant the cornbread or using a mix! Should I have to ask that a personal "chef" not use a mix....for anything?? We did think that the price was quite low when we first signed on, but you get what you pay for. And that might be totally fine for some folks, but if what you're offering is home cooking/food assembly, then please advertise as such. We were looking for a true personal chef and premium service. I see that there are a lot of great reviews for catering. We tried it out for several weeks because she told me it took time to get the food profile down. She asked me questions so I continued to give feedback and make requests. But apparently my expectations (that food made by a "chef" be better than my own cooking) were too high and she told me I should continue my search...

My fiancé and I wanted to do a simple and easy catering for our wedding and had NO idea where to turn or who to reach out to. We got in contact with Shawna and OH MY GOSH! AMAZING! From the moment she contacted us to the wedding she was incredible! She was very punctual, efficient, and helpful. The menu was very detailed and was all so hard to choose from. But we picked the chicken cordon blue, lemon caper cod, Italian veggie melody, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, chocolate mousse cake, and cheesecake. OH MY GOSH! The food was incredible and my guests were raving about it. At the end of the night, we only had one slice of cake left at the end of the night. We were so thrilled and impressed. Shawna and her assistance did such an amazing job. In time of COVID, they went above and beyond to make my guest feel safe and things were sanitary. We would hire them again in...

We hired Shawna and her team for a private dinner party for my 50th birthday. From the first moment we reached out to her, she was responsive and wonderful to work with. She offered sample menus, food and wine suggestions and made choosing the menu an easy experience. She arrived the night of the event on time and got to work. We were able to enjoy our evening and entertain our guests without having to worry about cooking or serving the food. Speak of the food - the food was SO AMAZING that I was so busy enjoying the food that I only got one photo of the food and that was one of the appetizers. I can't say enough about how wonderful the food was. The evening exceeded all of my expectations. I will be hiring Shawna again for another function that I have coming up soon.

If you are thinking about hiring a chef - Shawna will not disappoint! Thank you again for a...
