How do I hire a private chef in Minneapolis?
Chef Dawn Drouillard, who ran the Twin Cities caterer Fabulous Catering for 22 years, cooks private dinners and catered events of every size in Minneapolis; you send the date, guest count and diets through marcygreen.com, she replies with a custom menu and a quote, and a 50% non-refundable deposit holds the date.
What to send
The occasion, the date, the number of guests, and any diets or allergies. Use the inquiry form; Dawn reads every one herself and replies within a day or two.
What you get
No set menu. Dawn plans each evening around your table, the season, and what's at its peak that week, and cooks in your kitchen.
Her background
Sous chef at the Loring Café, then 22 years running Fabulous Catering, with events for the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Target Creative Studios and the 2014 MLB All-Star Game.
