Back To School Time of Year!

By, Chef Jim

Amazing how fast time flies and how soon the Summer Months pass!  While I REFUSE to hail an end to the Summertime just yet, all the signs of its inevitable arrival are around us!  Kids are going back to school or are getting ready to.  Fall sports and activities have begun their training and schedules are starting to tighten up!  Before you know it, time will be worth more than GOLD for you as your Fall roster fills up!

SO…there’s never been a better time to take advantage of the many benefits that a Personal Chef can offer you!  I know, most folks think it’s a bit of an extravagance to have a ‘Personal Chef’, but truth be told, there’s nothing further from the truth!  You pay folks to mow your grass, or work on your home or do landscaping…why not pay someone to do all or part of your weekly cooking for you?

It all begins with getting to know each and every client personally!  Food is among the most personal things and everyone’s got there preferences!  Additionally, there are a number of conditions from Diabetes to Celiac Disease that may necessitate a special diet…we take the time to fully understand your likes and needs.  THEN, we do all the shopping (where you shop or at one of our ‘specialty sources’), come to your home and prepare meals that you simply heat and eat however you’d like to!  When you look at the time you’d spend doing all of that yourself, the savings can be astronomical, but more importantly it gives you more time to do the things that matter to you!

As if that’s not sweet enough…you can now try us out for ONLY $150 with our new Introductory Offer!  For first time clients, we will provide a free initial consultation and then prepare 4 meals (for up to 4 people) for ONLY $150 plus grocery and container charges.  It’s a GREAT deal and will give us a chance to prove the value that we have to offer you!

Hunting Camp? Ski Trip? We Can Do It!!!

Wouldn’t THAT be great!  Load up an Extra Cooler or Two and have your meals ready to ‘Heat and Eat’ no matter what the primary heat source in your Camp or Cabin may be!  Just let us know how many folks to cook for, what you’d like to eat and when you’d like it delivered and we’ll do the rest!

SEE…this ‘Personal Chef’ thing is a pretty versatile and SMART option!  We can help no matter what your needs may be!  From a full weekly meal plan to help with Family Gatherings or Holiday Parties to hooking you up with ONE LESS THING TO DO during your next ‘Get Away’!

How Exactly Does This ‘Personal Chef’ Thing Work?

Yes, we get that question a LOT!  AND…the quick answer is; ‘Any way that you want it to’!  OK, so since that sounds a bit generic, I thought that I could expound a bit on it here!

As your ‘Personal Chef’, we start by getting to know you!  What kinds of food do you like…not like?  Do you have any special dietary needs or requirements?  What about food allergies…you?  Anyone else in the house?  Any ‘regular guests’?  All very important as we develop your ‘Menu Profile’ that allows us to prepare meals you’ll love each and every time!

Once we’ve got that dialed in, then we want to figure out what ‘Service’ is best for your situation!  Do you need a meal every weeknight?  Perhaps you just need a few meals a week to give you a break and some extra time with your family and/or friends?  Just having a Party or Family Gathering and want to add the ‘formality’ of a Professional Chef?  No matter what type of Service you need…we’ve got you covered!

Once we’ve got your needs dialed in, then comes the ‘shopping’!  We can shop at our preferred markets or yours!  We LOVE to shop at Farmer’s Markets and small suppliers when possible!  With over 15 years of experience in the catering business and tens of thousands of meals under our belts…we know quality whenever and wherever we see it and we LOVE to bring it to every plate!  So…we don’t just do the ‘cooking’, we save you the time and hassle of finding a parking space, fighting the carts and lines and choosing the best ingredients available!

Needs analysis and shopping completed…it’s time to ‘get cooking’!  We come to your home or can prepare meals for you in our kitchens – either way, we will cook your meals and prepare them so that you can simply ‘heat and eat’ these delicious and nutritious, ‘home made’ meals that are lower in sodium, fat and calories than just about ANYTHING you’d eat at a restaurant! (and…they are WAY more convenient!)  Microwave, Conventional Oven, Sous Vide…however you want to heat them up…we’ll cook, pack and label accordingly!

We are fully insured, licensed and have both our ServSafe and PA Department of Agriculture Food Safety Certifications!  SO…there’s nothing to worry about and everything to gain…including cost savings, more time to do what YOU want and less stress from all those trips to the store!  Need to hear or even better, SEE more?  You’ll have a chance to come see and hear us soon…right in a place where we are most comfortable!  Look for exciting details to come soon!

In the meanwhile…if we can help YOU…please feel free to visit us online at GreatQ4U.net or give us a call: 717-254-1937 and we will be HAPPY to help!

Committed to Helping You and Our Fellow Americans

One of the hallmarks of our business since we first began to cook for a living in 2004 has been our commitment to customer service, quality and community!  As a Business Owner and Chef, I am VERY aware of the importance of each and every customer.  I have also always had the opinion that Actions speak louder than Words, so we ACT like every customer is our ONLY customer each and every time!  We want your experience to be professional, efficient, reliable and most of all delicious!

When we make mistakes…and we do occasionally make a small mistake here and there (we ARE human! :))…we want you to know that it’s NOT what we expect of ourselves and that we’ll not only fix it…we’ll make it better!  We want to know every customer personally and to understand your needs and expectations and we’ll take the time to do it!  We want you to know that we’ll deliver for you when you expect us to and that you can count on us every time!  Most of all, we want to make meals for you, your family and/or friends that you’ll LOVE to ‘Heat and Eat’!

On top of our commitment to every customer, we are committed to our Community and fellow Americans!  I strive to ensure that we source as many ingredients as possible from local businesses and farms.  We look long and hard to find the best of the best and then bring that quality to your table!  We do business with other local businesses and we know how important it is for us to help support the local economy…especially during these tough times!

Finally, I strive to be socially responsible…many times at the expense of profit!  (My Accountant can’t STAND that, but it’s the RIGHT thing to do!!!)  This past Spring, we packed up our Big Catering Company Smoker and headed off to Morgan County Alabama over Mother’s Day weekend to cook ‘Real Deal’ BBQ for the Residents, Rescuers, Sheriffs and anyone else in need.  Less than a month later, I found myself in Joplin, doing the same thing with a group of BBQ Caterers, Competition Teams and Chefs from the midwest.  This group which became known as Operation BBQ Relief (www.OperationBBQRelief.org) provided over 120,000 FREE Slow Cooked BBQ meals to folks in need in Joplin!

Over the next two weekends, I will continue our commitment to helping by hooking up the big Smoker again and heading off to Vermont and New Jersey and providing ‘BBQ Love’ to the residents of those flood ravaged communities as they continue the slow, laborious process of cleaning up what’s left after the floods.  We do this at our own cost and with the help of like minded suppliers, customers and other folks who can donate products or cash to Operation BBQ Relief (it’s a Non-Profit and all donations are deductible).  We lose business and revenue, but we gain the lifelong satisfaction of knowing that during their hour of need…we could bring a smile to someone’s face!  It’s the RIGHT thing to do….and I am PROUD of this commitment to our Customers, Community and to our fellow Americans!
