Our team had an exceptional experience with Most Wanted Chef. Throughout our project, they were extremely communicative and attentive. They were mindful of our budget and presented us with options that were suitable. Their team put in a lot of effort to curate a fantastic spread for us. Despite the event being chaotic with numerous variables, they handled it all calmly and cheerfully. Additionally, they fulfilled our other requirements by offering us skilled bartenders who concocted exquisite drinks. I would absolutely consider their team again and encourage anyone in the region in need of food and beverage services to approach them.

Alana was truly exceptional! I had the honor of enlisting her services as a personal cook to cater for my superior's spouse's birthday celebration. She made the entire experience from ideation to implementation effortless, and to top it off, my superior commended the delectable food!

My family and I were treated to a magnificent Thanksgiving dinner by the highly sought-after chef, Alana. Her turkey was the best I've ever tasted, and the accompanying mashed potatoes and gravy were heavenly. All of the side dishes were exceptional, and the desserts were a particular standout - especially the cheesecake, made from her Nonna's recipe. It truly was a holiday success. Being able to enjoy such a high-caliber meal in the comfort of our own home without any of the preparation work was an absolute delight. I wholeheartedly endorse Alana's talent and service.

Most Wanted Chef provided a delightful service by having Alana prepare a scrumptious meal for my mother's birthday celebration. The food was impeccable and met our expectations. The interaction with Alana during the meal was engaging, as she not only prepared a four course dinner and a stunning cheese plate, but also displayed a fun, genuine, and intriguing persona. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience with Most Wanted Chef!

For several years, I have collaborated with Alana Puentes on several premium corporate events in which over 500 guests were in attendance. These events were held at Keller Williams Realty's NYC offices, and they were nothing short of exceptional. The presentation was exquisite, and the flavors were combined in a delectable manner. Alana's staff was affable, welcoming, and handled the large crowd with speed and poise. I strongly suggest hiring her for intimate private chef evenings at home or large corporate banquets, just as I have done. She always delivers consistently with 5-star service, and her exceptional work will leave a lasting impression on your guests for years to come.
