Dinner Parties

We all throw parties—some more than others, but we are always looking for new and creative ways to get a bunch of our closest friends or family together. Truth be told, sometimes planning such an event can be a huge undertaking. Instead of all stress and headache, Chef Brian Merel will come to your home or designated party place, set you up from head to toe with everything from table decor to wine pairings, cook a unique menu that you and he have created and your guests can participate in the action and cooking as well...if they want to. It's your call...you can order in and clean up as usual, or take a step outside and show your guests that you really know how to throw a party.

Call for pricing plans and packages. Discounts for parties of 10 or more.
