Frequently Asked Questions
What type of food can you provide?
We. Can. Cook. Anything. We want to offer the guests an opportunity to let us know what they would like to enjoy at their wedding, and we want to work to accommodate that. We can provide a plated service, buffet style, or heavy appetizers depending on the venue. The fun in these events is working with the couple to create the menu of their dreams for a special occasion.
Do you cater out-of-town events?
We have a vast area that we cater to. We can travel as far west as Texas, south as Miami, and north as North Carolina. Due to logistics, we charge for transportation, which could limit what is provided depending on the venue’s kitchen.
How does this work? Do you just...come over and cook?
Exactly that! I arrive to your house 60-90 minutes prior to the agreed upon start time, I'll bring a staff member with me, and you sit back and enjoy the show! We take care of all dishes, cleaning the kitchen, packing leftovers, and everyone is welcome into the kitchen to ask questions at any time!
Do we need to bring our own wine?
We will provide you with a beer and wine list and recommendations for pairings on the menu. We are happy to include a beer and wine package if you feel your guests will take advantage; otherwise, we offer beer and wine to be purchased on-site separately.
Can we use your restaurant for our business?
We can accommodate up to 20 guests inside one of our Lake Ella locations. We can accommodate more guests with outside seating and can host up to 60. This will book the entire cottage for your party for a private event. Ideal for legislative sessions, pharmaceutical events, and intimate chef-inspired dinners.

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!! Chef Leon Brunson catered our Christmas dinner at Big Fish Real Estate. Our staff, family, and clients were in Awe of the delicious menu from Prim Rib, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, asparagus, gravy, buttermilk biscuits with homemade jam, and more. The food was by far the best I’ve ever had. I was so impressed with the upscale presentation, professionalism, and communication.

Amazing presentation and great food. Chef Leon is awesome. Book him now because this guy will have his own tv show soon and he will be too famous and you won't be able to get him.
An experienced chef with a great personality, we would highly recommend him for your next personaliz
On the set of "White Fire," a short film produced in Tallahassee, FL, Chef Brunson catered delicious meals that the entire cast and crew enjoyed. The meal of shrimp and grits/potato bread pudding was simple yet overwhelmingly flavorful. The chef knew how to cater to a large crowd and kept all of the buffet-style food warm up until serving time. An experienced chef with a great personality, we would highly recommend him for your next personalized meal either for a few people or a large crowd.
