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 you provide a bartender?
We can provide a beer & wine service, but we do not offer a full liquor bar.
How do you schedule a private dinner?
Schedule a call with me to confirm the dinner date and what kind of food you’d like. Then, based on our conversation, I can determine a price point.

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.

I wish I could give this review more than five stars. Leon is dedicated, passionate, and incredibly talented. Leon is a rockstar!
I got married last year, and Leon catered for the wedding. I wish I could give this review more than five stars. Leon is dedicated, passionate, and incredibly talented. He was a joy to work with. The man who is my husband now spent the better part of one and a half decades working in the hospitality industry as a chef. Given his background, he can sometimes have seemingly impossible standards for certain aspects of food service. I requested stuffed shells with red sauce as one of the dishes because it is a Jersey Italian classic which my family, who was traveling from up north, would appreciate. My husband wanted his recipe for tomato sauce to be featured in the dish. After several phone calls with caterers telling him no, we asked Leon. He exceeded expectations and went above and beyond. The tomato sauce was perfect, and everything else he had creative freedom for was better than what we could’ve imagined. Leon is a rockstar.
