Dear Adam,

My wife and I want to thank you and your Maitre D’ Eric Pfendler for an unforgettable evening.

I feel very fortunate that I saw your advertisement and that we connected.

As you know, this was a surprise birthday present for my wife and as it turned out, there isn’t anything that could have made her happier than the “Romantic Dinner for Two” you created for us.

The menu you suggested was perfect and the food was outstanding.  My wife, who is very “particular” about dining, stated that your creations were “gourmet” in the truest sense, she was thrilled.  We absolutely loved it.

However, as we discussed, it isn’t food alone that makes an evening so memorable.  From the moment you and Eric arrived at our home, you took over and made us feel like honored guests.  While you did the food preparations and the cooking, Eric created the right table setting and ambiance, including the flowers and candles you brought.  For us this was a totally new and very exciting, wonderful experience.

So the combination of the most delicious food, prepared in our kitchen by “our own” chef and served by a very experienced Maitre D’, two very personable people who obviously took great pleasure in making sure everything was done absolutely perfectly, made this occasion truly unforgettable.

2.      Hi Adam,

Many thanks for the delicious treats you made for the ladies of the book club. You are very talented and I enjoyed them all- especially crab cakes. You will do well in your career.

Thanks and good luck,

3.        When the Hazardous Materials Section of the Anaheim Fire Department was in need of a meeting snack for our CUPA Business Advisory Group, we turned to Chef Adam’s Catering Service.  Chef Adam respected our need to adhere to our strict budget and was still able to provide us with wonderfully presented, unique, delectable refreshments that help get the group through a two (sometimes, three) hour meeting!  We are very pleased with our working relationship with Chef Adam.

Everything was great! Please note there is still a lot of fuel in the sterno cans- I’m not sure if it will spill or not!

6.        Dear Chef Adam,

I wanted to thank you for participating in the Taste of Yorba Linda this past Friday night.  Your participation in the event made the evening for my self and the guests I invited.

I was amazed at the culinary delights you provided.  Out of all forty-five of the participants, your offerings were by far the best.  The long line to get to your booth was well worth the wait.  My favorite by far was the Caesar Salad with duck confit. 

If ever I need a caterer or hear of someone needing one, I most definitely will recommend your company.

Sincerely,

7.       I have been a fan of Chef Adam’s catering for quite some time.  There company seems to be serving all around town from local parties to the Taste of Yorba Linda. My favorites have to be the lobster and prawn bisque and the Quattro shellfish puffs. Yum! Their offerings are both unique and delicious.  Hats off to you Chef Adam!

9.       I have known Adam for about 4 years now and he has always talked about how much he loves the Fine Cuisine industry.

I recently engaged in his services to a small, but yet profitable function. Where he and his team of experts put together a quick and exceptional service.

I was amazed on how good his customer service was and the food that he prepared. Everything was from scratch and tasted so good. My whole audience was pleased with the presentation Adam and his team had put together.

I recommend Chef Adam's Catering to all my family, friends, and future business associates.

Thank you Adam for everything.

Till next time.

My experience with Chef Adam's Catering has been one of flawlessness. From the time we met it was clear that Chef Adam is experienced and very professional. No party is too big for Chef Adam and his crew. Don't want to handle the details, hire Chef Adam, he will take care of the details while you enjoy your event. It feels like a "Little Taste of Heaven".

12. The community once again turned out for the Taste of Yorba Linda. Hands, down, the winner for most extravagant and varied cuisine was Chef Adam’s Catering Service (pg. 13). Sometimes caterers can do so many things well, it’s hard for them to choose. With eight dishes, Chef Adam Dougherty’s booth was an event unto itself. All and all, it was a wonderful night under the stars.

East End Shout-Out for Java Joe’s and Chef Adam

September 11, 2011 By Guest Author

The historically resilient Java Joe’s has teamed up with Chef Adam to offer Breakfast on the weekends. It was quite a treat to sit in front of a soundless Big Screen watching College Football to the tunes of old Beatle’s music eating a fresh prepared omelette while sipping on a Tall Quad Non-fat. The breakfast is amazing and the latte is just as good as the stuff I prepare at home. I think the partnership has some future.

Hey Adam --

Just got an e-mail from one of my Saturday night guests, saying how much she and her husband enjoyed themselves and that the "mushroom dish in the spoon was to die for".  And that's a direct quote.

Keep on cookin', Mister!

The East Lake Shores Social Committee recently hired Chef Adams Catering Service to cater our Annual Wine Tasting event.  The theme was Food and Wine from Spain.  Adam and his staff came up with an excellent menu!  The food was delicious and there was plenty to go around.  Chef Adams work with our limited budget to come up with a good variety of food for the occasion.   His staff was very professional and helpful.  Set up and clean up were perfect.  I would definitely hire Chef Adams Catering Service again!

To Chef Adam and Chef John,

When I decided to host a dinner party at my house for my husband's graduation, your professionalism and delicious cuisine answered the call. Each and every person who attended the party that night is still talking about how wonderful the food was and how they want to do something like that again. They have all had great things to say about you both. My husband was probably the most excited that evening, not just for his graduation but because he was not the one in the kitchen cooking for a party at our house. Thank you both for the excellent food and of course the great company!

I can't thank Chef Adam and his outstanding team enough. Not only were they able to accommodate our budget, the food was amazing and kept our crew on their feet and going strong. Unlike most caterers, Adam took time to craft a menu to our specifications- not too rich or heavy, but full of flavor. I can't imagine using anyone else when we shoot in LA. Chef Adam is our man!
