I used Trendy Chef to cater my dad's 80th birthday party. I wanted to do something different and a bit more upscale for our dad. The communication and menu suggestions were on point. Steven worked within my budget. The staff was professional and efficient. The food was amazing! Everyone at the party was impressed with many happy faces full of compliments to the chef. Thank you for making this an easy call.

Chef Steven and Lanita did a fantastic job! They came out VRBO in San Diego and made a special birthday dinner for my dad’s 70th. The food was amazing, the team were kind and friendly, set up and clean up was included and everyone from our 4 year old to the 70 year old birthday boy loved the food! Thank you so much Steven! I’d highly recommend! 10/10.

We hired The Trendy Chef for our wedding. The event was a small intimate weekend micro-wedding at a large estate for about 20 people. We hired Chef Steven for both a brunch and a dinner for our wedding day. Chef Steven was fantastic! Not only is the food absolutely delicious, he and Lanita came with a warm, fun and friendly energy. All notes for any tweaks or changes made at the tasting exceeded expectations on the day. Everybody raved about the food! It was a hit! ...I dream about his mashed potatoes at dinner...my family was gushing over the lemon ricotta pancakes from brunch. We are already looking for excuses to hire him again!

Incredibly delicious food!! From the fully loaded potato salad to the white wine pasta and mac n cheese, every bite was better than the last! The chicken was juicy and the tri-tip was tender, perfectly paired with a nice chimichurri. A to-go box for later too?? Yes, please!! Definitely recommend for any event!

We hired the Trendy Chef for a Father’s Day brunch in Newport Beach and highly recommend! Food was delicious, chef was very easy to work with, paid close attention to detail which made our event extra special. We had a group of 15 in an Airbnb to celebrate and this was the perfect addition to our trip. Will definitely hire again.

Honestly Steven is the bomb. We had him do appetizers for our wedding and they were a hit! I didn't even get to talk to him or tell him how much I appreciated him because we were so busy with day of festivities but if you want someone local who is just down right down to earth, the trendy chef is where it's at! I will definitely use him again and one of our friends already booked him for one of her up coming get togethers! We also bought some of his peach BBQ sauce - delish! Thanks guys!!!

Steven was a wonderful chef to help host a private dinner party for 10 women. He was flexible with the menu, responsive in communication, made plenty of food and was very professional. You can tell by the quality of his dishes that he loves what he does. He was even so kind to stay a little longer and hang out with the girls. Make sure to get the smoked monkey bread for dessert!!

I am so impressed by Steven & his team! He catered a small wedding for my clients this past week and absolutely killed it. The food was amazing and his personality made the experience even better. I was so impressed by how quick and efficient they were able to set up and serve the guests. Its hard to find professional and reliable caterers in SoCal so if you are in need of one - I couldn't recommend him more.

The Trendy Chef absolutely blew us away when he catered a bachelor party for 15 of us in Coachella Valley. From start to finish, the experience was top-tier. The food? Incredible! We couldn't get enough of the perfectly cooked salmon, and that mac & cheese was truly to die for—creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. The service was just as outstanding as the food, with attention to every detail, and you could tell The Trendy Chef truly loves what he does. Plus, it's always a great feeling to support a talented Black-owned business. If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers both amazing food and impeccable service, look no further. Five stars all the way—highly recommend!

I found The Trendy Chef through the Thumbtack app while looking for catering for my daughter’s wedding reception. Let’s just say it was a stroke of luck finding the amazing chef Steven Moore! Not only is he an award winning Food Network chef, he is also amazing to work with. He was so accommodating to our budget and the food was absolutely incredible! Even our most picky guests raved about how delicious everything was. I highly recommend The Trendy Chef for your next event!

The Trendy Chef Catered our wedding. We had a buffet style menu for 130 people. Comprised of Tritip, chicken Marsala, mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, garlic knots, a raspberry vinaigrette berry salad, and the monkey bread. Everyone loved his food especially the monkey bread and the tritip. His attention to detail, professionalism, and food were all exceptional. I loved having Steven and his team. They were wonderful and a pleasure to work with and were the EASIEST part of wedding planning! Definitely will be using Trendy’s services again! Thank you, Chef!!!! May God bless your business always!! Best, Daniela

The Trendy Chef saved my bacon! We planned a last minute birthday party for my husband and he killed it! Even with allergies, menu and attendee changes, he was kind and accommodating. I honestly couldn’t tell you what the best part of the night was: the outstanding meal, he and his sidekick’s professionalism and humor, or the fact that they left the kitchen sparkly clean! Everyone was so impressed; I’m sure this will be the first of many nights that we enjoy with this crew! Thank you for making the night a huge success and one we will never forget!

Excellent food, quality of service! He catered my 30th birthday and it was everything I hoped for! You can I’ll not be disappointed.

We had an absolute blast with The Trendy Chef at our bachelorette party. The food was unique, amazing, and fit with the vibe of our party. (Best chicken and waffles I’ve had!). Our favorite part was the watermelon cocktail he made from scratch with nerd candies to top it off and starburst straws…so much attention to detail! Trendy was super personable and made us feel like he was having fun too! We all appreciated his professionalism and how he followed COVID safety guidelines and had his mask on while in the house. I am excited to book him again…we had a BLAST, thanks Trendy 🙂

The Trendy Chef Caterers were professional, prompt in communicating, and detailed in the food set up. In short notice the team was able to make a small family event come to life. The meal was prepared well and the family especially raved over the Chimi Churri and Tri-Tip!!! Thank you for not disappointing!

Great food, Food was top notch His Monkey bread was the highlight of our engagement party!! We had our party for 50 people on our backyard. Trendy and his assistants worked out of the kitchen and did their setup and cleanup. Things went smoothly. I would recommend him and his team to anyone!

The Trendy Chef is one great guy and his team are amazing just like this food. If I could give him 6 stars I would . From now on when I can, he will cook on all occasions that I can afford. That said it. Itnot because his prices are high. It because he it that good that I want him to cook for for us after events we have as a family.
