Other Infomation
Hello my name is Chef Tiana. I am a private chef in the Dmv. As you can see from my past reviews, I go above and beyond to make sure your event is a true success. I have offered you two menus. We can choose a combination of both or modify each one to accommodate each guest. Have no worries about vegan as we can have a substitute for each course that is similar to the dinner so that no one knows it is a different meal item.
