Chef MBJ Testimonials
Jay Sabol | Miami Heat | Head Athletic Trainer
Chef MBJ was right there with their flexibility in preparing last minute meals for our team this year during the playoffs. Whether you need an incredible catered event, individual meal planning, an in-house chef, or a special meal at any of Miami’s fine restaurants, Chef MBJ can accomplish it all with their exceptional culinary services. Let Chef MBJ take all the worry out of your dining needs. You can rest assured that everyone at Chef MBJ is truly a professional hospitality advisor, and your privacy will never be compromised. Chef MBJ has spent the necessary time to pinpoint the foods that our professional athletes enjoy eating, then recreated those dishes to meet our nutritional standards and budgetary parameters. Whether it’s the Coach Spoelstra “Spo” smoothie, “D-Wade breakfast” wrap, or the BBQ Grilled shredded chicken wraps, they are all loaded with flavor and are simply delicious! One thing is for sure…with Chef MBJ cooking, if you don’t get to the food early, it will all be gone. I highly recommend Chef MBJ as the best on-premise operator and hospitality team in town.

I was referred to Chef Michael by a friend when I needed help getting my company recognized in the foodservice and hospitality industry. My friend had only good things to say about Michael's expertise as a hospitality advisor and his extensive knowledge in culinary services. I was not disappointed. From the very beginning, Michael knew exactly what we needed to do to achieve our goals as an on-premise operator. He made sure we spoke with the best attorneys specializing in commercial real estate to ensure that we were fully prepared and protected. He also went above and beyond, connecting us with all the right people in the restaurant industry. Along the way, Michael took the time to educate me, which not only helped us as a company but also empowered me as an individual. Our company is grateful for the relationship we have with Michael, and we will always consider him a valuable member of our team. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Chef Michael can consider themselves blessed, as he truly is the best of the best.
