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.
