R&M Consulting

First of all I am a personal chef myself. We hired Ruben to cater my son's celebration of life after his funeral on November 9 2022. Ruben was very pleasant . I gave him a estimated head count of 150 people. We came to an agreement on the foods to be ordered and I gave him a 50% deposit. 1 week prior I gave him a final head count of 125.


The food was delivered , I handed him the balance due and he demanded to be paid for 150 people when my final head count was 125. I placed the pans into chafing dishes which I supplied.

When the food was ready to be served I removed the foil covers and I was in shock. The chicken was undercooked, the spring rolls were soggy and all different sizes, the loaded potato skins were french fries with melted cheese, half cooked bacon and green onions.

In addition instead of fruit and veggie platters he gave us pans of fruit which consisted of grapes, small piece of pineapple, apple slices and a few blueberries and raspberries. No melon or strawberries. It was very un- appetizing. The same for the veggie platters, just veggies in a pan.

No utensils. We were unable to serve any of the food as I would not risk getting our guests sick.

I have sent Ruben text messages but he has failed to respond.

Do not hire this person or company. More...

Ruben was amazing all around. He was very knowledgeable and professional. You can tell he takes his craft serious and most importantly, how much he enjoys it! From the description of the meals ( which were cooked to perfection) to the smile he wore, hands down made us all feel like we were movie stars or royalty! Five stars! More...

Chef Ruben treats us like family. He is kind and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is happy. He has been our personal chef for quite some time now. He teaches my children and involves them in the preparation and cooking of the food. He is knowledgeable and accommodating to food allergies and speciality diets. Would absolutely recommend to anybody, he is a joy to have in our home. More...

Absolutely wonderful to work with. Would highly recommend to anyone.

A BIG THANK YOU to R&M!!!! They are amazing. I had an event that I needed catering for at the last minute
(I was originally going with another company and they dropped me a week before my event) However, Chef Ruben not only was patient with me and my craziness but his food was so delicious! He was able to fit us into his schedule (which he was already fully booked) even with my attendance being 250ppl without any hesitation!! I will never go with anyone else!! Thank you again Chef Ruben and your staff for coming in and making my event happen with your deliciously yummy food creations. More...
