Dear Chef Gourmet:
Thank you very much for the wonderful lunchboxes that you cater every day for BMW University and Training Center. Everyone I talk to LOVES your food. Even our vegetarian teacher and students said that, of all the caterers, yours had the best selection for vegetarians. And several folks commented on the scrumptious pasta and meat dishes — to die for… or as we say here “to drive for!”

I first had a taste of what Chef Gourmet has to offer back in March 2015 – it was a sandwich on whole wheat bread with chips – my rating: 5 stars!!!! Presentation and packing was excellent BUT what stood out was the TASTE. Then a week after, I had the chicken with rice pilaf. I took a bite and took the leftover home with me and ate it the following day at work, even shared it with my co-worker. Portion was big enough to share and again.. the TASTE!!!
Chef Gourmet can be summed up by simply saying YUMMY for my TUMMY!!!!!Jared Zabala
