Chef Jarrett and his staff did a beautiful job on my husband’s 80th birthday celebration! Presentation was lovely; food was delicious. The charcuterie cups were a stand-out as well as the rest of his offerings. He took into consideration what my husband liked and made meatloaf and whipped potato cups that were delightful. Chef was very considerate of my gluten free lactose free dietary needs and made several of the options so that I could enjoy them. The staff was attentive addressing each request quickly and efficiently. What a wonderful evening it was! Would definitely use Chef again! More...

The chef was amazing. He made the overall experience an absolute pleasure. We were traveling with 8 adults and 3 young kids. The way he approached ensuring we had a good time with amazing food was second to none. He ensured every detail was handled with care. The food was amazing. We had two meals from him in our time and there wasn’t anything that wasn’t enjoyed by everyone in our group. More...

I just have to say, a party of 10 in the middle of nowhere. Chef J met me when I left the Atlanta airport with catering, which was fantastic.
He then came back the next night, set the table and prepped the food while we fished and tubed in the river. Appetizer of scallop was the bomb, 2nd course old magnolia salad, them filets , mushroom sauce , asparagus and fingerling potatoes.
As I looked around, every course plate as empty. We worried about nothing, he cleaned the kitchen better than it was when he arrived. Outstanding gentlemen, which I have great respect for. Hands down, outstanding performance.
Nothing better than family catching up and not have to cook or clean.
Thanks Chef J

It was a pleasure working with Chef Jarrett from Southern Touch. We contracted for a brunch and a dinner and both were excellent.
Communication was great and planning our meals was very easy and Chef Jarrett accommodated our menu requests and dietary restrictions. He made useful suggestions but was never pushy. He was friendly a personable and it was a joy having him in the house with us while he was cooking -- and the kitchen was spotless when he left.
The food was delicious and exceeded my expectations for what to expect and the prices, I thought, were extremely reasonable.
We will definitely be using Southern Touch again when we are back up in Georgia and would highly recommend Chef Jarrett to anyone looking for a great in home cooking experience!

Although appetizer had a mess up it was a good mess up. Lamb chops and risotto balls were amazing!! The amount was as expected for the amount paid for and had plentiful leftovers. Showed up a little earlier but worked out absolutely WONDERFUL!!! By time appetizers were ready everyone was ready to eat and were hungry! The one thing I’d recommend is when serving or plattering any fried grease choices to have a spill platter under to avoid greasy floors. Main reason we came together was to celebrate spouse military retirement and he was happy and that is all that matters. More...

Working with Chef Jarrett was a pleasure. He was quick to respond to any messages I sent and worked with me to design a menu that worked for our group. I booked Chef Jarrett for two brunches and the food at both were delicious. Chef Jarrett arrived on-time both days and the meal was ready on-time. Everyone was beyond pleased with the taste of the food. Chef Jarrett and his crew left the kitchen cleaned and organized after both meals. I highly recommend booking him for any occasion. More...

Amazing holiday dinner for my work team. Jarrett was a true professional from start to finish. He worked within our budget to give us the best menu possible and was very accommodating of our food allergies in the group. He was a pleasure to plan with and the kitchen smelled so delicious the moment he started cooking. We were blown away with the flavors and presentation of each dish. What a culinary experience! Our bellies were so happy and full. He also made sure the kitchen was squeaky clean when he left. You won’t regret having Chef Jarrett at your next dinner or event. He truly is one-of-a-kind! More...

My family had the great pleasure to enjoy a southern brunch prepared by Chef Jarrett and his assistant Melissa. The food not only tasted awesome, the presentation was as well. It took the experience to a higher level, with their personal touch and professionalism. To top that, they cleaned after the meal. We're still reminiscing over how tender the braised short ribs were and the flavor bursting from the salmon bites. 😋 Every item was delicious. Can't wait for the next opportunity to utilize services from this caterer again! More...
