Testimonials
The meal was out of this world. The chef is personable and a joy to be around.
Chef cooked at our home for my wife's birthday...The meal was out of this world. The chef is personable and a joy to be around. He was engaging and truly loved what he did. The lobster bisque he prepared was the best I have ever had, and I have had a lot! If you don't book Chef, you are missing out on a great culinary experience and a wonderful time.
Chef Leon is amazing! He taught a phenomenal cooking class...it was by far the best meal my husband has made.
Chef Leon is amazing! He taught a phenomenal cooking class for the Jack and Jill, Inc. Fathers group. It was by far the best meal my husband has made and the Zoom live instructions were excellent! We can't wait to go to the restaurant!
He is amazing! Great food, great personality - it doesn't get any better than this!
Chef Leon came to my brother-in-law's house and cooked a four-course meal for our family! We started off with crab cakes, then salad, then Moroccan Grouper, and onto bread pudding for dessert! All I can say is wowwwww! What an amazing experience! Call Chef Leon for your events, he is amazing! Great food, great personality - it doesn't get any better than this! Thank you, Chef Leon!
Every course was amazing; the flavors were perfect and cooked with excellent precision.
Tallahassee, book this chef while you can! Contact was very easy with Leon; after a quick initial phone call setting the parameters of our dinner, I was emailed a list of potential menu options to pick from. On the day of our meal, Leon brought everything he needed to cook with, and we got the chance to sit and talk with him as he cooked in our kitchen. We loved the conversation as much as the food. Every course was amazing; the flavors were perfect and cooked with excellent precision. It was so much fun to talk about the food and cooking techniques, as well as just chat with Leon. For the amount of time Leon was in our house cooking and the preparation time he had to have put in for our meal (plus he bought all the ingredients), the price was more than fair. I wish Leon could cook all our meals!
I was so impressed with the upscale presentation, professionalism, and communication.
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. Chef Leon is going to be the top on everyone's list for any personal Chef and catering. Something this sensational has never been in Tallahassee. I’m booking all my events for the year now, so I can be sure to get on the books. Thank you so very much, Chef Leon. You were Amazing!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chef Leon cooked for our family of nine and put on a great show in addition to cooking a wonderful meal that we all enjoyed!

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.
When will you need a final headcount?
The headcount two weeks prior to the event will be the one that is accounted for. Any changes that subtract from the headcount are not refundable.
Can you take care of various allergy/dietary requests?
Yes. We take allergy and dietary restrictions very seriously. If there is a food allergy, we will happily accommodate the guests. We will need proper notice beforehand! They must be distinguished to us on the day of the event!
Pricing? How much can we expect to spend?
We ask planners and guests to budget a minimum of $85 per person.
What do you specialize in?
Southern Food. Japanese, Moroccan, & Indian flavors and influences.
Can you provide a private dinner for two?
Unfortunately, we rarely service private dinners for two. I encourage couples to sign up for one of our cooking classes as a great alternative.
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.
