On-Premises, Off-Premises & Drop-off
CATERING
At Phantom Chef, our goal is to serve fresh, locally sourced, seasonal food that enhances your party, whether it’s an intimate dinner at home or a wedding banquet.
Chef Michelle McIlroy will design your menu individually, taking into consideration the location, style and timing of the event. A casual, rustic wedding outdoors might feature a buffet of grilled foods rather than a plated filet mignon, for example.
What do you like to eat? What flavors do you enjoy? How many people are you entertaining? Taking her cues from conversations with you, Michelle taps into her expertise to craft a menu that will suit your tastes and delight your guests.
Chef Michelle prides herself on tailoring dishes to meet the needs of individual clients. Recent Phantom Chef menus have included a New England lobster boil for 20 guests with all of the classic accompaniments served outdoors by a lake; an eclectic wedding dinner for 170 guests featuring an Italian station, a Mediterranean station, a Southern barbecue station and a mashed potato bar; and elegant cocktail parties with appetizers such as Thai lettuce wraps, smoked salmon crostini with dill mousse, Asian tuna tartare on rice crackers, bacon-wrapped blue cheese-stuffed dates and lamb meatballs with a mint-yogurt dipping sauce.
A well-traveled native of South Africa, Michelle refuses to limit her cooking to any single tradition. She can customize a menu to fit a national or regional culinary style, whether you’re envisioning Greek specialties for a summer wedding or a Mexican menu with a taco station. Michelle will also be happy to work with you to accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan and kosher guests.
