Sarah Shafer
I attended a Christmas party in December for work.
The service was axcellent. The servers catered to us, cleaned dishes and were extremely friendly.
The chef was very fun and friendly as well, although he was late.
The food was okay. Veggies were mushy and overcooked, buns were stale and hard. We had mentioned there was going to celiac people attending, but turkey and stuffing were on the same serving tray.
For these reasons, I would not use or recommend Palatable again.

The food was spectacular! I think the thing that people will remember about our party is the taste of the cleverly prepared food.

Fusion Chef Intrusion had a great menu selection, and the coordinator (Monina) helped me with suggestions and portion sizing for 20 guests coming to my house warming party. FCI arrived 30 minutes before the start to assemble the sandwiches, canapes, skewers and charcuterie boards. It looked like everything was made fresh at home! The presentation was superb! Everyone was oooh-ing and aaah-ing at the platters. And the food was delicious! Thank you Chef James & his assistant for an excellent job. I would highly recommend FCI Private Chef if you need a caterer. More...

What’s your signature dish?
There are many dishes I love to cook, but I love to cook a good grass-fed local beef steak, or nice piece of wild salmon as my personal favorites because that's what most of my customers love. I also specialize in vegan and vegetarian menu concepts for clients as well.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
I always start with asking what the client absolutely does not like, then work my way into what they do like to get a basic idea of what direction to move towards for the rest of the menu plan. We'll start with my sample menu options and usually will come up with a streamlined menu for the client based on those options, or if the client has a specific dish they want I and any employee representing my company will always do their best to accommodate.
What do you love most about your job?
Working with great people and always being around a bounty of amazing ingredients in our beautiful city is what sets it off for me as a born and bred Vancouver chef. Most of all, I have amazing clients that have supported me and my business throughout my start up year and hope to continue and build more employee and customer relationships in the coming years.
What inspired you to start your own business?
While I have been a personal chef off and on for many years prior to the pandemic, I did not actually really lift it off the ground until I was laid off from my restaurant job as an executive chef for 8 years when the shut downs took effect in 2020. I spent most of that year preparing and planning to launch my company PalaTable Catering and Events and taking it full-speed into the Vancouver marketplace and hopefully become a major key player in the food service industry in the coming years.
Why should our clients choose you?
I absolutely love what I do and you will see, experience and taste the passion I have in anything I put my name on, whether it's a simple boiled egg or a wagyu steak (or even a tofu or halloumi steak for that matter) you will get the 100% premium from me and my colleagues every time.
