TESTIMONIALS

To Mano and all the employees at BigChef: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your creativity and professionalism over the past ten years. Your product is always fresh and of the highest quality and competitively priced. You have saved me endless hours in labor making products to my specifications and my personal recipes. From the Hyatt to the Bank Atlantic Center to Sun Dream Yacht Charters you have always come through for me.   Keep up the good work!" Marshall Levy, Executive Chef
"We have been doing business with Big Chef, supplier of Canapés, Hors d' Oeuvres and custom food creations for about four years now. Mano Calambichis has come through for us, with all products needed. They have been available, with sometimes little notice, and on weekends, to handle our needs. Big Chef has supplied us with cold, canapés, hot appetizers and brochettes. They can customize to the needs of the chefs, and delivered at the times needed. The packaging has been great to avoid damage to the products."   
Ted Fleissig, Purchasing Manager, Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa
"First, I'd like to express how impressed I was with your swift response …, and how quickly you prepared the samples - all within a week's time. Furthermore, you not only provided samples that were outstanding in quality (not always done the first time out), but you far exceeded our expectations by making nine different samples, when we only requested and expected five."   
                                                                                                               
Feedback on the cutting I conducted in my home follows: All nine products were sized correctly, and were consistent as well.Visually, they appeared nicely shaped and all had that homemade look with the proper color.Importantly, they all cooked up properly and were very tasty - showing they were seasoned nicely with the right "heat" level, the texture substantial with ingredient integrity, and the mouth feel was appealing.

They all stayed crisp and moist after cooking - which is also an essential result. Standouts were the Pot sticker, SW Chili Tarts, Pot Pie, Spring Roll and the Empanada (that dough is incredibly tasty and flakey), although the others were very good and acceptable. I like the puff pastry you use, and the phillo dough as well, as they brown up evenly in a home oven.  In any case, overall -OUTSTANDING JOB!"
Executive Chef Dan Kucera, CEC
"They are very specialized, they make very petit sized food items, and they've been able to accommodate events for us that number in thousands. They've always given their best". 
Jaime Mac Donald, Executive Chef at the Broward County Convention Center
"It's top-quality food. They always deliver when they say they are going to and you will never get an answering machine with them"                 
Rami Golden, Executive Chef for the Bank Atlantic Center (Panthers Stadium)
"Having worked as a Personal Chef for quite a few celebrities, I take pride in products I personally use and recommend to my clients. I would never put my name or reputation on the line if I truly did not believe in that product. Big Chef hors d'oeuvres is an excellent product, made from the freshest ingredients and is truly tantalizing to the taste buds. Big Chef offers your traditional favorites, as well as unique, out of the ordinary hors d'oeuvres and appetizers. Enjoy!!"
