Welcome to KneedaChef Personal Culinary Services
Specializing in Signature Five and Seven Course Dinners
Do you find that you go out to a nice restaurant only to be disappointed by overpriced food, poor service, loud noise and dinner companions who are unhappy? Do you get stressed out hosting dinner parties in your home and feel frazzled because you had to do all of the menu-planning, shopping, cooking, serving and clean-up? Are you worn out and overwhelmed with all of the work of entertaining?
Now you can relax and let KneedaChef handle it for you. My name is Chef Eric Braun and my staff and I will create a memorable meal for you so you can relax and enjoy yourself. I am a professional chef who specializes in gourmet, all-inclusive, multiple-course dinners for clients in the comfort of their homes.
KneedaChef’s signature five and seven course dinners are created for busy professionals and executives who love to entertain, but don’t have the time to prepare a gourmet meal. I will plan the menu, shop for groceries and prepare delicious seven-course meals that have been created specifically for you, your family, friends and/or business associates for any occasion. We will serve the meal to your guests and completely clean up afterwards for enjoyable, stress-free entertaining.
