• Perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, vacation dinners

• We bring our own pots and pans so that at the end of the night we just load up the dirty pots and take them with us. Your kitchen will be clean and the dishwasher loaded and running with your place settings

 

Where is the menu?

Many people ask first for a menu. People also ask, “What is your specialty?”
Chef Matt cooks everything. When you book with Chef Matt Port A you get Chef Matt, he is the one personally cooking every meal. 

We are catering in beautiful beach towns in the coastal bend of Texas, so yes, we utilize the wonderful local seafood. But we are also in Texas, so great beef is still king! The way we like to approach things is to start with a conversation: learn what you like and enjoy, learn what you dislike, and then customize a menu for YOU! Check out our gallery page to see some of the wonderful creations we have created for our guests. 

Here is an example of how the menus progress. I submit one, then you and your guest give your input, then I adjust. We go until we find the ingredients and flavors that you and I are looking for. Some simply say "Just whatever the chef decides", others we work through several rewrites.
