Dave & his team recently hosted a 2nd event for us and once again they did the most amazing job! The food tasted as wonderful as it looked, but the reason we will work with What’s The Kitch over & over again, is the incredibly professional, kind & FUN staff. It’s easy to see that Dave prides himself on the team he has assembled. You’re all outstanding!.- Beth (Private Event)

We hired What's the Kitch to cater for our backyard wedding of nearly 160 people - no small task - and they absolutely CRUSHED it! We did a grazing table and a floating supper so I was nervous how our guests would perceive not having a seated dinner but everyone couldn't stop raving about how fun, different and delicious all of the food was. Not only was the food fantastic, but Dave, Jeff and their team are some of the best in the business. All communication leading up to the day was a pleasure - Dave is so fantastic to work with and so accommodating - he made so many changes to accommodate everyone's diet needs and what we as the couple wanted.
On the day of, they took such amazing care of my groom and i - constantly finding us to make sure we ate, setting aside special plates for us. It was out of this world - I'm only sad its over! Thank you all so much for making our wedding so fun and memorable :).- Brittany (Bride)

Absolutely outstanding in every way. Dave and the staff at 'What's The Kitch' exceeded all of our expectations. We hosted a floating supper for 160 guests for our daughter's wedding at Greenpoint Loft in Brooklyn. The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was outstanding. The floating supper was a new concept for us so we were a little hesitant about not going with a traditional dinner. We had 12 passed entrees, a grazing table, a pasta station, and a desert table. Definitely enough food for our hungry New York City Italian family. It's been two days and we've already gotten so many calls from friends and family about how much they enjoyed the food. Dave was extremely helpful throughout the process. Every question I had was answered by him immediately (usually within 1-2 hours of me sending my email). Dave was also instrumental in helping us find a rental house for tables, chairs, etc. and his input was invaluable. Can't say enough good things about this vendor. Highly recommend Michael O

WOW! So many amazing things we could say about Jeff and Dave! In the beginning of the planning process, Dave helped us pick the floating style dinner (their specialty). This was the best decision that we could have chosen. The food was spectacular (especially the mac and cheese egg rolls) and each item was a huge hit from our guests. Not only was the food incredible, but the effort and care that Dave and Jeff put into our wedding was phenomenal. They helped get our rentals in order. They put together pie jars for favors, they were very responsive throughout, and a myriad of other small items. We could not have asked for a better catering team. :).- Cassandra (Bride)

We used Whats the Kitch Catering Company for my husband's 50th birthday party. We hosted about 35 people on our roof deck. We opted for the Floating Supper. Was just perfect. Dave and his team were extremely professional and so friendly and easy to work with. They cooked in my kitchen and left it spotless.
The dishes they helped us select were a delicious mix of elegant and comfort food. They guests loved everything and there was plenty of food ... no one left hungry that is for sure! I would use What the Kitch again and highly recommend them for your own event!- Diana (Private Client)

Dave and his team did such an amazing job catering my event. He delivered beyond all expectations. Everyone raved about the food. It was incredible value for the price. Even though I purchased “drop-off” service, Dave and his team were on site throughout. He made everything so easy, I didn’t have to worry about anything. Communication and responsiveness were always timely, courteous, caring, helpful, and in every way excellent. I can’t say enough good things. I would use them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone without reservation. Mark (Corporate Client)

10/04/2022*****

Let me begin by saying they are the best! I have never used anyone I found online. I was looking to. host a combo housewarming/bdy party and wanted an easy fun party with plenty of food. Well they had the perfect solution. The Floating Supper. I met with Dave who was wonderful. They have a great menu. The night of the party they came in and took care of everything. they have the best team with. The most professional and nicest people ever! Everyone at the party raved about the food. They were a hit! Thank you Whats The Kitch for a great night.- Cynthia (Private Event)

09/30/2022*****

Highly recommend WTK! They are an absolute pleasure to work with and go above and beyond for their clients. We utilized them for our wedding and our guests loved the floating dinner and all of the food. They were so kind and helpful through the entire planning process, making sure we had everything we needed, even outside of their catering purview.- Jenna (Bride)

07/17/2022*****

What’s The Kitch did an amazing job making our daughter’s special day a wonderful event. The whole team was wonderful. Food was delicious and there was so much of it! Best of all the team left our kitchen spotless!!!! We will be using then again for our next event. Highly recommend!!!!.- Nina (Private Party)

06/01/2022*****

An absolutely amazing dining experience! We tried 7 courses and had a hard time deciding what we liked most! The lobster mac and cheese was cheesy perfection with a crunchy topping. The shrimp and peppers had a little bit of spice and sweet in each bite and I’m still wanting more of it! The watermelon gazpacho was refreshing and cool on a summer night with all the flavor in each bite. The pizza would be a huge hit at any party- had to stop myself so I could enjoy the rest of my dinner! It was all amazing and I would recommend them to everyone. Amazing! I can’t wait to have them cater my next function!- Noelle (Private Event)

04/24/2022*****

I couldn't imagine having used another caterer for our wedding. Behind Dave and Jeff, What's The Kitch? is a perfect culinary experience. We received so many compliments on the food from our 160+ guests; everything was delicious. There was such a variety of uniquely fun and flavorful bites, from the Mac n Cheese Eggrolls to the the Nashville Hot Chicken Edible Spoons. Going forward, anytime we throw a party, there is only one choice in our minds on who to feed the crowd and leave them talking (and full)!!!- Matthew (Groom)

03/12/2022*****

Dave and team did a fantastic job! The food was delicious, the variety was perfect and everyone raved about the food. They were seamless, came in, set up, prepared the food, served until everyone couldn’t eat anymore, and then left the kitchen cleaner than when they arrived. And EVERYONE on their staff was so professional and nice. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again!- Andrea (Private Event)

02/23/2022*****

What's the Kitch catered our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. Dave is such a kind and respectful person. His team went above and beyond to make sure our reception ran smoothly, and that our guests were full, fat and happy. The food was incredible. Dave even made a special batch of the dessert pies for our anniversary this year and they were perfect. I would recommend What's the Kitch to anyone looking for catering!!!! Thank you again Dave!!- Taylor Groom

12/17/2021*****

Wow, what an awesome experience from this team! From Dave, to Jeff, to the amazing bartenders and servers--their service was stellar! What’s the Kitch is so easy to work with! Their food options are delicious, and we were able to accommodate all of our guests and their allergies/dietary preferences. We had passed hors d'oeuvres, food stations, desserts, and a grazing table for our team of 60 and everyone was impressed and left the party completely satisfied! Highly recommend Dave and Jeff and their team for company holiday parties and beyond! - Corporate Client

12/11/2021*****

My wife and I put our wedding together in about a month. Things were crazy, and we were frazzled, but after speaking with Dave, We knew we’d get it all done and it would be fantastic! Dave guided us through all aspects of the wedding day, not just catering. There was no question out of his wheelhouse! And he was always a calming presence for us. But, Dave and Jeff are primarily caterers, not wedding planners, and boy did they come through for us! Our guests loved the idea of the Floating Supper and they raved about the food! The Mac & Cheese Egg Rolls were probably the biggest hit, but the Chicken Dumplings were a close second, or maybe it was the Shrimp Mojito… or… or…. or… Really, there wasn’t anything we wouldn’t order again! In addition, we were very concerned about Covid— Dave, Jeff, and Jack (our server) were very accommodating and did whatever we asked to make everyone feel comfortable and safe. We would use What’s the Kitch to cater for us again in a heartbeat!

10/10 First of all Amazing menu to choose from. You get to work brilliant catering minds that make your event come alive. I worked Dave remotely and still was able to execute an amazing event! Also very professional they know exactly how to execute an event. - FAN DUEL

11/01/2021*****

What's the Kitch is the perfect caterer if you want an innovative super fun approach to the modern wedding. Dave worked with us every step of the way to make our day delicious and engaging for our guests. In the current environment we opted for the Floating Supper which allowed our guests to enjoy a cocktail party environment while feasting on a full array of appetizers, main courses and dessert. The food was flavorful and plentiful, the service was super professional and friendly, and the entire event was executed in a flawless manner. Their menu options were huge and able to address all types of food related concerns and allergies without missing a beat. And this event was rescheduled twice because of Covid but that didn't phase them. You need to hire this caterer! (Bride) Madison G

I truly have no words for how AMAZING What's The Kitch was. When we had first reached out we were so excited about their menu selections. Once we had a chance to try everything during our tasting we weren't disappointed. After postponing due to Covid we finally were able to celebrate our wedding this past weekend. Family members and friends have called and texted to tell us how amazing the food was. There were groups swarming where the wait staff was coming out so they could grab an appetizer before they were all gone. The food being incredible is only one piece of the catering service albeit an important one. What truly made them an exceptional vendor was how they went above and beyond throughout the planning process to ensure that the day of ran smoothly. Weddings are such a stressful time and having vendors that you can trust and depend on makes a world of a difference. We can't say thank you enough to Dave, Jeff and everyone at What's the Kitch. Our day was truly magical and it was in large part to your delicious food and unbelievable customer service. We can't wait to work with you again in the future for other events! - (Bride) Samantha

08/20/2021*****

After a successful bridal shower, I have to give credit where credit is due. Dave was an all-star, when tasked with a heavy-duty allergy list, he was beyond accommodating. Communication was the best, always replied to any emails I had within 24 hours and was willing to take a call whenever requested. The food itself was all the rave at the bridal shower. Every guest was astonished that the meal was completely gluten free and lactose free. I could not say better things about What's the Kitch? Would recommend for any type of party! - Morgan (Event Planner)

07/19/2021*****

I would recommend Whats the Kitch to anyone who is looking for an innovative, responsive, responsible, talented caterer. I hosted a birthday party for about 20 people. I decided on the Floating Supper option I saw on the website. Dave helped my plan the menu from beginning to end. He always had the success of my party as his first priority...not how much he could make off of suggesting only the priciest dishes. Dave and Jeff worked miracles out of my kitchen which is the size of a utility closet. The food was excellent. The server Dave brought was right on point all the time. They left me with a clean kitchen! My only complaint is that Dave did not bring any business cards! All of my guests wanted to know where I found this caterer. I wouldn't think of calling anyone else for my next occasion. Oh...and the price was right. If you are reading this and need a caterer, your search is over. Do yourself a favor and hire these guys.

07/05/2021*****

I don't even know where to start with this review, as I have a million positive things to say about What's The Kitch, Dave, Jeff, and their incredible team! From the very moment we reached out to Dave, he was quick with response, and always had our best interest in mind. He was a HUGE help with our planning process, and there every step of the way. He even put us in touch with other vendors, like our amazing wedding planner, which we are so grateful for. Because we had a destination wedding, we weren't able to do a tasting prior to the wedding, but I knew everything was going to be great... I was definitely right, but we were still blown away with how amazing the food was. So many of our guests have expressed that we raised the bar for wedding caterers, and I have to agree completely. Another aspect I would like to mention is his incredible team. On our wedding day, one of the other vendors provided by the venue had a pretty big slip up, but Dave's team stepped in immediately and mended everything with exceptional professionalism. Every person on his team was so kind, funny, professional, and every move they made was done with a smile on their faces. I could go on and on about how amazing our experience was with What's The Kitch, but rather want to suggest you find out yourself, and book them for your next event. You will NOT be disappointed! Dave, Thank you so much again for everything you did for us. We are forever grateful, and hope we can work together again in the near future. Much love, Tyler & Rachel (Bride- Rachel L.)

I just had the pleasure of working with What's The Kitch. I am an event planner and used them for my daughters graduation party this past weekend at my home. The food was off the charts delicious. I was so impressed with Dave and his team. My guests could not stop raving about the food and service. Thank you to all of them for a truly memorable day!. . (Kimberley S. )

05/26/2021*****

I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for putting together such a lovely evening for the building’s residents. I cannot get over how good the garland, fresh lemon, set-up of the bar and flatbread station looked. The staff was so attentive and welcoming and all the residents really enjoyed themselves. Everything tasted great. . (Naomi T. )

04/17/2021*****

What’s The Kitch? is truly AMAZING. Last night we were honored to have Chef Jeff share an unique and delicious culinary experience for my husband and I . Since it was a private birthday dinner in our home for two, Chef Jeff made sure to personalize each dish to satisfy our taste buds as we love to eat. Each course was a triumph, which showcased the love of cooking which Chef Jeff is AMAZING at. What’s The Kitch?-Thank you so much for creating such an incredible night for my husband and I. We will absolutely keep you in mind for future events. (Jillian S. )

03/30/2021*****

What's The Kitch far exceeded my expectations - they were punctual, professional and the food was absolutely delicious! I can speak enough to their responsiveness during the scheduling process for my sister's bridal shower - everything came together so nicely and their creativity was on full display during the event. Looking forward to using them for future events as well!. (Ashley M. )


03/30/2021*****

What’s The Kitch was beyond phenomenal! We were lucky to have found them to cater our mini-wedding amidst the pandemic. The team is personable, professional and flexible. Dave made himself always available to answer any questions and the at home tasting was delightful. The food selection is huge, everything is delicious and elegantly presented. The team was for sure a pleasure to work with, the day of execution was flawless, we would definitely recommend them over and over again for any special occasion. (Alba H. )

03/07/2021*****

I’ve had the pleasure of working with What’s the Kitch for some time now. Their creativity and professionalism is like no other and is the driving force for why I always choose to work with them time and time again. WTK hosted a private dinner party for a group of my friends over the weekend and all I can say is WOW. The food, presentation and attention to detail was top notch. They took care of everything for us; all we needed to do was enjoy and that we certainly did. The WTK team also hosted a private dinner party for my bachelorette last July for a group of my girlfriends. Needless to say, it was one of the major highlights of that weekend. Dave and Jeff are such a pleasure to work with and are super accommodating. I told them my vision of what I wanted and they were able to deliver that and then some. If you are looking for a catering team that will execute your vision down to a T, What’s the Kitch is right up your alley.- (Diana R. )

03/04/2021*****

Late to review but - We were lucky enough to hold my son and daughter-in-law's wedding before the pandemic and even luckier to have found What's the Kitch to cater the event in a venue that required us to bring everything in. Dave, Natasha, Jeffrey and their team were amazing. They were so easy to work with, so responsive to my every email, so creative, and very reasonable. The food was fabulous and the presentation of the food and the stations was perfect. The grazing table (not to be missed) was something to behold. When we did our site visit to the venue, we discovered the kitchen was pretty ill-equipped and there were strict rules about cooking. Not a problem for this unflappable team. They handled everything with extraordinary patience and grace and allowed our family to relax and enjoy. When I mentioned I had planned to order lunch for the wedding party, Dave said, "No problem. We can provide lunch". On top of everything else they spent the day doing, this was above and beyond. And then, after finishing cleaning up and loading everything back into their vans at 2:00AM, they were back on the rooftop of our hotel at 8:00 to set up a casual brunch for our guests. Who does that?? The whole experience - from the initial tasting in the kids' apartment, to the wedding, to the brunch the next morning, to the anniversary dinner in their apartment - was simply the best we could have imagined. Our guests have not stopped raving about it. If you are looking for a caterer who will work with you to develop and implement your unique vision for a wedding or other event, look no further and hire What's the Kitch!- (Lisa R. )

09/05/2020*****

Dave and his team were the nicest people to work with from the first day we emailed all the way through to the end of our wedding. They were accommodating, helpful, pleasant and the food was amazing! We’ve been to a lot of weddings and this was by far the best food we’ve had! We still have not stopped talking about it!! Highly recommend - (Casey B. )

01/26/2020*****

Thank you for being so accommodating and making the grab-and-go style come to life. I heard nothing but great things and the quality of the food was fantastic. There was never a water pitcher empty, never a trash can over-flowing, your team stayed on top of things and someone even helped me sweep the floor at the very end! Thanks again and pass on my thanks to your team! - (Privitar Corporate)

Don’t look anywhere else! Book What’s The Kitch NOW. Dave, Natasha and Jeff made our wedding a memorable, bursting-with-flavor, beautiful wedding. But their incredible professionalism started months before our wedding with our show-stopping tasting. They put on an amazing dinner complete with personal touches that made my fiancé and me sure this was the caterer for us. Throughout the nine months we planned our wedding, Dave was there to help and support whenever we needed him. A true pro, we could and did go to Dave with any planning questions we had — food related or not — and he always knew the right vendors to recommend. When it comes to the food, WTK goes above and beyond to make your event truly special. Our guests are still raving about the Grazing Table, paella station, and savory waffle stations. And at the end of the night, when my husband and I realized we’d missed some of the dinner having so much fun at our wedding, Dave ran back to the kitchen to whip us up something before we left for the night — we were so grateful. In fact, WTK’s food and service was so outstanding leading up to our wedding, that we asked WTK to cater our post-wedding brunch, which they did to our and our guests delight. If you want great food, great professional service, supportive partners in your wedding- vendor team, work with What’s the Kitch! -Marissa R (Bride). 

10/30/2019*****

Dave and Natasha were so helpful and easy to work with. They asked us to choose a few starters and then Dave created the rest of the meal for us. The food was fresh, delicious and presented in the most elegant way. We were all so grateful that we only had to enjoy the evening and not worry about the food. Everyone will remember the food at weddings, Dave made it a great memory - Pam W.

10/7/2019*****

I cannot say enough good things about What's The Kitch? Dave and Jeffrey were absolutely amazing and a dream to work with. They made wedding planning bearable and even kind of fun :) Not only were they very responsive, but they made the whole process seamless from inquiry through execution. They gave us recommendations, were flexible on meetings and walkthroughs, guest count, menu items. They were able to provide all of the equipment that we needed and work in a venue that didn't even have a kitchen! In addition to everything that Dave and Jeffrey did to make our wedding a dream come true, they also provided wonderful and friendly staff that set up everything, served the food, and worked the bar. If you are doing a catered wedding in the New York area, look no further! - Chelsea Z. (Bride) .

09/12/2019*****

We had the pleasure to have What's The Kitch cater our wedding. Highly recommend! Dave and his team are incredibly attentive and available at every moment. Our guests rave about the food and the playful experience. Most importantly, the food tastes great and the presentation is beautiful. I didn't have to worry or think about anything on the big day. Even when the venue became difficult, Dave and his team handled everything without it getting to me. (One less stress for the bride and groom!) If you're looking for a new and exciting experience for your guests, What's The Kitch will make it happen! - Lauren K (Bride) .

08/22/2019*****

Every time I work with What's the Kitch, the experience only gets better and better. It is a privilege to work with this team; They are always open to accommodating our needs and are very flexible. The execution of the events at 180 Water have exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to working with this fabulous team again!! - Diana R. (Liv Unltd) .

07/17/2019*****

I hired Dave and his amazing friendly team for my sons 2nd birthday party this past June. From the moment we started planning to the day of, they were incredibly accommodating about the menu, so so easy to work with and everyone at the party raved about the food (especially the fried green tomato sliders!) They are so professional and a joy to work with, and they have such eclectic menu of options to choose from. Already told Dave I'm using them again for the next party that we host. Good people and good food, what more can you ask for? - Sonali P .

07/1/2019*****

Amazing, talented group of individuals. They were a pleasure to work with and our 200+ guests were in awe of the beautiful presentation. They offered a wide variety of foods and all was very high quality. Highly recommend for any size event. - Jacklyn C P . (CUNY Medical)

06/23/2019*****

It is honestly a pleasure and a privilege to work with What's the Kitch. Dave Marken and his team are extremely friendly, flexible, and accommodating. We've hired them for several events (varying greatly in budget and formality) and every time they've delivered a beautiful, delicious menu. Enjoy ease of planning with a professional, capable team, and prepare for glowing feedback from guests.- Katie Gill (IPG MEDIA)

Fabulous service and food! We used Whats the Kitch Catering for our dance company benefit and look forward to using them again. The team was prompt in communication, flexible when we asked to extend an hour, the staff was professional and the food was delicious. We selected small passed plates and they did not skimp, our guests left as full as if they had a full sit down dinner. We highly recommend this company for events big and small! - Constance S.

Hands down, the best catering company I have ever worked with. So much more than AMAZING FOOD. What's the Kitch helps to create an atmosphere. Dave, Natasha and Jeff are THE BEST -Kerin D. (Event Planner).

02/27/2019*****

Great group of people to work with. From first contact to end of event they were professional and helpful. Presentation was superb and the food was delicious! I had what they call the grazing board for a Bridal Shower brunch..
If your looking for something a little different that people will rave about for days these people will more then deliver. Can't wait for another occasion to use them again. - (Stacey L) .

What’s The Kitch offers delicious food, beautiful presentation, and an exemplary staff. I am a wedding planner, Wild Heights Events and the first wedding I worked with WTK, they were stationed outside with food being run indoors for the guests. They managed to prep, cook, and serve hot DELICIOUS food despite the torrential rains. Guests raved about the food, and the WTK team maintained their delightful upbeat attitude. I’ve since established a wonderful working relationship with What’s The Kitch. Dave and Jeff are great at what they do, delivering creative and flavorful menus for their clients. They are a JOY to work with and always put their couples’ needs first. Willa D. (Wild Heights Events).

What's The Kitch does it perfect EVERY TIME. No other catering company compares, and I only ever use What's The Kitch when hosting our events! I've had the pleasure of working with Dave, Natasha, and Jeff (all 3 at our very first event!) and they have been so incredible throughout each process from start to finish, making great and honest suggestions for different settings/locations. 
They've catered our events that have hosted 20-150 people, and the staff has always been amazing. The food is always delicious, and you can never go wrong with the grazing table, pies, and donuts just to name a few... 
I love working with What's The Kitch because I know I can always count on them from planning to execution - they do an incredible job every single time! I am looking forward to many more events with you guys!!! Gian M. (Leslie Garfield Real Estate)

11/07/2018 *****

They catered our corporate fall party and our clients loved the food! We had the party in our showroom and also had a Biergarten on our building rooftop and they executed the different spaces perfectly - with separate Oktoberfest themed bites for the Biergarten! We had a live food slider station inside that guests loved as well - it's so nice having fresh food being cooked throughout the evening so guests can enjoy it hot as soon as it's made! We misjudged our headcount and had over 100+ additional guests show up to the party and they were so accommodating - making several trips to get more food and liquor! Dave and his team go above and beyond to deliver great service, and their menu options were more creative than every other catering company in the city. I would highly recommend them for any size event! Maria P. (Corporate Client)

10/28/2018 *****

Not enough stars to rate What's The Kitch! Creative, professional, and an all around pleasure to work with. They are always willing to work within your budget and vision to create a unique experience for any brand. I have used What's The Kitch for several events throughout the year, and they NEVER disappoint. The process is always seamless. Our clients rave about the quality of food, presentation, and service, as they always go above and beyond. Can't wait for our next event!! Stephanie T. (Major Real Estate Company)

9/12/2018 *****

From start to clean-up, this was a wonderful experience. Jeffrey and his staff are very professional. From the very beginning I love his "if you want it, we can make it happen" attitude. And that's exactly what he did. We wanted a selection of light bites and he guided us in choosing just the right combination. They were all superb--I couldn't even select a favorite. The party started at 6:30 and the food kept being replenished til the party ended several hours later. It was all prepared right in our apartment on the Upper West Side, which added to the intimate feeling we aimed for. And, as promised, the clean-up left the kitchen and dining area sparkling!
We were so impressed with What's the Kitch? that we have already booked them for our Christmas party! I can hardly wait to see what their seasonal selections will be. Five stars all the way! Diane P.

7/03/2018 *****

They are the dream team for foodies. They catered my wedding last week at the Bronx Museum of The Arts and we could not have been happier with how perfect and magical everything turned out. Our guests keep talking about our food and our only regret is that we ourselves didn't spend more time eating.

Natasha is the person you want on on your event as she thinks of everything and then executes on all the details. When we found out there would be rain on our wedding day, she quickly checked in and worked together on a plan, everything worked out.

Dave & Jeff also spent a long time working with us on our menu beforehand to ensure it was everything we wanted, and they delivered. All the passed bites were delicious and everyone loved the food stations. The grazing table was absolute stunner, people kept saying it was so beautiful!

Their staff was also amazingly friendly throughout  Tara T. (Bride)

6/13/2018 *****

Amazing! Dave was a true gem. He was really easy to work with and helped us to create the perfect menu for the occasion. Cooked on location, the food was fresh and delicious - Everybody kept raving about how great it was! They were attentive with the amount of food that was needed for the size of our event, leaving us with plenty of food to enjoy with some remaining to nibble on (late night grub always a plus when there's a lot of alcohol involved). I was running around hosting and I didn't have to worry, given that they took complete charge of cooking, setting up and then cleaning up after themselves. I tip my hat off to the team and will definitely consider their services for future events. - Stephi L. (Bride)

05/24/2018  *****

This is a follow-up review as they did another event. Had people at my dad's apartment for some out-of-town family which includes some very fussy eaters. Again as professional as they could be.  A lot of fun with the planning and very helpful with their ideas.  Came right on time and got to work cooking and laying out the grazing table - quite beautiful and inviting.  About half hour after the guests all arrived, they started passing small bites.  The service was wonderful, friendly and discrete. Highlights were the chicken parm lollipops, mojito shot glass shrimp and the cheesecake tacos.  Even the folks who never eat dessert kept coming back for more! Truly a class act!!. - Philip R.

Great group of people to work with.  From first contact to end of event they were professional and helpful. Presentation was superb and the food was delicious! I had what they call the grazing board for a Bridal Shower brunch. If you're looking for something a little different that people will rave about for days these people will more then deliver. Can't wait for another occasion to use them again. - Stacey S.

I recently booked WTK for my bridal shower and it was INCREDIBLE! I have guests still calling me asking for their information. Everything was smooth and effortless from start to finish. Dave helped me create a menu that would appeal to all while taking special care to the fact I had several guests who were vegetarians, gluten free, and had allergies. There was something for everyone and not one complaint in the room. The food was served fresh, cooked on the spot and served in beautiful displays. It added such a special touch to my event and I couldn't be happier. A favorite among my guests were the chicken and waffles, shrimp tostadas, and the bourbon mearballs. My absolute favorite was the mini crab cakes. Oh, I cannot forget to mention the mini grilled cheese sandwiches that were buttery and flavorful and went flying off the display as soon as they were prepared. All in all, WTK made my day extra special and I would and have recommend them to anyone. Between the wonderful food, impeccable customer service and the affordable pricing you cannot go wrong. - Nikki W. (50 Person Bridal Party)

Looking for an incredible caterer for your next event?  As an event producer for over 20 years, I highly recommend What's The Kitch!  The entire experience from planning through execution was seamless.  The food was extraordinary and creative to boot, as was the onsite service.  Bravo! -Jeorgie G, (75 Person Holiday Party)

These guys did a fantastic job. I had a party at a large presentation space for 40 people. From the initial call with Natasha to working with Dave on the menu, to setup, it was a pleasure working with them.  The food was delicious and they did a wonderful job of accommodating my vegetarian friends even denoting the veggie dishes.  The presentation was artful and inviting, especially the grazing table, with cheeses, dips, chutneys, crudites, chocolate-covered cherries and assorted "junk-food" on the grazing table.  It was all appreciated.  My guests were blown away by the spread.My only regret is that I didn't hide a few of the Kung Pao dumplings to be snacking on now.  And maybe a couple of the spring rolls.  And some shrimp and mango skewers...I have finally found my NYC caterer!! - Philip R

I had the pleasure of working with What's The Kitch in November 2017. They provided a full-service experience---food, beverage, staffing and rentals---for my 250-person corporate cocktail reception. 

This was a high-profile event for my global company and the the environment was challenging as the event was onsite at our Manhattan office. They did a tremendous job on all counts. The pre-planning process was smooth, I always felt taken care of and could immediately tell, though the company is still 'young', that I was working with seasoned professionals. The food and presentation was highly rated and well received by attendees. The buzz of the evening was around the artfully crafted grazing table piled high with international cheese spreads, fruits, nuts, hummus and more. Some described it as Anthropology display window piece, it was THAT gorgeous! The staff was attentive and friendly. The best way, or biggest compliment, to describe the evening is that though the event ended at 6:30 half the attendees were still enjoying themselves well after 8:00pm.

Natasha was my point-of-contact from the start and immediately gained my confidence. She was professional, prompt and thorough. She helped me develop a plan even when the first time she saw my event space it was completely under construction. She crafted a staffing plan that would work with the space restrictions and was always one step ahead of me. All requests were met with a can-do attitude and they delivered! 

I highly recommend What's The Kitch based on the delicious, innovative menu, execution and presentation during the event and knowing that they are an experienced and professional team. Meghan P. (Swiss Re - Multi Billion Dollar Company)

They are the absolute best!!!! From the first time I tried their deviled eggs, I just knew that I would be going back for more. Not only is the food delicious, their team are a set of wonderful and nice professionals with great positive energy. It is always a pleasure working with them. I am definitely hiring them to cater my future wedding!!! Yes, they are THAT good!!! Emani P. (Corporate Event Planner) (Multiple Events)

We hired What's the Kitch to cater a corporate happy hour and we were beyond pleased with the team. From our initial emails to the day of the event, the team was helpful and professional, the food was excellent, the setup and tear down were efficient, and the extra touches like presentation and decor for the buffet set up were appreciated. Even when we had a few hiccups during load in and set up (rain, slow elevators, and the like) the team was adaptable and positive throughout. I would definitely use What's the Kitch again and recommend them to others. Julie G. Corporate Event Planner(100 People)

What's The Kitch is INCREDIBLE!!!! They catered my wedding this past weekend and everyone RAVED about the food. Dave communicated with me every step of the way and couldn't be more accommodating. I didn't have to worry about a thing all day! They took care of everything! Can't wait to have another party just to have their chicken and waffles again THANK YOU to all the staff at What's the Kitch for making our special day even more so!  Laura S. ( Bride) (110 People)

Move over Guy Fieri, there's a new Mayor of Flavortown! I have been fortunate enough to attend two events--one a large corporate party, the other a more intimate gathering--catered by What's The Kitch? and have been wildly impressed on both occasions. With a laser focus on making food that, at its core, simply tastes really good,What's the Kitch? makes customers happy both with freshmarket spins on classics and bold, innovative creations. Customer service is excellent, as is attention to detail.. -  Patrick W, Corporate Agency Event (175 People)

We were thrilled with our overall experience with What's the Kitch. They were on time, organized and the food was amazing. Celebrating our daughters graduation, we couldn't be more pleased.The food presentation was fabulous, it was so refreshing to put together a different menu than the traditional buffet. The food was tasty and fun!!!. -  Lisa A, Graduation Party (100 People)

This team of chefs and event staff are PROS.From beginning to end, their professionalism and attention to detail is on point. I've used them for multiple special events, from bar mitzvahs to corporate parties, their care for their clients and their curiosity of culinary uniqueness is fantastic. As well, they are able to seamlessly work with you to figure out what works with your allocated budget to get an amazing product for you and your guests.I HIGHLY recommend this team for any event you might have. - Jessica H, Event Manager at Blender (Multiple Events & Parties, Over 5,000 combined guests)

I dealt directly with Dave and Natasha and they were a pleasure to work with while catering to all my company's needs. "What's The Kitch?" catered our product launch party in Meatpacking and perfectly executed the event from start to finish! They arrived early, set everything up with a beautiful rustic display of wood-inspired chargers/tiers as well as kept guests enticed with a variety of passed hors d'oeuvres. The pulled pork sliders were a part of multiple stories after that night. We would highly recommend them! - Jacklyn S (NYC Corporate Event, 150 People)

My husband was recommended What's the Kitch? for my graduation party last Summer. Everything they made was absolutely delicious. Everyone at the party is still raving about the food. Jeff and Dave are really easy to work with and have great ideas for food options and presentation.

Owner asked me to post again as Yelp as removed my review. Great Food, Service, and Guys to have on your team. Very respectful and understanding. Highly recommend. Here is my original:
A relatively new company, with limited reviews so was a bit hesitant at first. After speaking with one of the Chefs Dave and seeing the pictures - I was sold. Very Personable and accommodating. Our party had more than 100 guests in my home and I must say the food and bar service were top notch. By the time desert start coming out, most of our guests were so full, they didn't partake, including myself so I can't speak to that. But they looked delicious. And oddly they left our kitchen cleaner than it was when they arrived lol. Not expected but an appreciated touch. - Roland R (NYC House Party, 100 People)

Hired What's The Kitch for my company holiday party this past weekend at my offices in Manhattan. Amazing service and staff from the two executive chefs Dave and Jeffrey who were so nice and professional and the serving staff who were so kind and courteous to my guests.  All the servers were immaculately dressed. I am a sucker for that. Must look professional. I had about 100 employees at our party and the food kept flowing and kept everyone satisfied. Everything that came out looked innovative and top notch.  At our pre-party meeting the night before Natasha, their event planner/coordinator described how they would set up our office to look festive for the party and it sounded at first to be to hard to pull off but when they came in to set up it was exactly how they planned and it looked so professional. Kudos to What's The Kitch and their entire staff. Great things ahead for this new company! I recommend them for any type of party you may have! -Joseph L (NYC Holiday Corporate Party, 100 People)

I attended a business holiday party Monday evening.  I was able to sample the fare that steadily came out of the kitchen.  The pulled pork sliders were a favorite as was the shrimp/avocado toast!  There was plenty of veggie fare for folks who don't partake in meat or fish. One of the deserts passed around was a shortbread cup with a slice of banana and banana pudding! Another desert was the Hot Chocolate Station, hot chocolate with choices of white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, peppermint sticks, spices, marshmallows AND either Kahlua or Bailey's! Great idea! - Desiree K. (NYC Holiday Corporate Party, 240 People)

We were recommended What's the kitch through a very close friend of mine and it was nothing but perfection.
Their food selection was out of this world. Where do i start.... the meatballs, the steak, mmmm they had small shrimp bites with guacamole, their desert.. it was all too good. Everyone had a blast with their food options. They are catering for my mom's 50th and my mom is already over the moon when we went for a food tasting!!!!  Was so glad to meet Dave- one of the chefs he was great explaining all of their options. - Amanda M.

I hired them for my 50th birthday celebration at my apartment. What can I say? it was an amazing evening! The food was spectacular, and the service was delightful. Friendly helpful and very accommodating team. Additionally , I was hosting a party from 6:30 -10. I wanted passed hors d'oueverves, but I didn't want such light bites that my guests would be drunk and starving. This team did an amazing job. Light bites to start, and then into the heavier bites when our guests were ready. People raved about the food. Couldn't have been happier.  Would totally suggest you give them a try! - Linda R.

I attended an event for WE WORK NYC last week -It was catered by this new an upcoming catering business called "what's the kitch".  All I have to say is hands down amazing . From the presentation of all the trays (halloween themed) to the taste and texture. I recommend it to anyone in the NYC or Long Island area. And if you are a fan of Beef Wellington, you better hope you get your hands on a second plate. Charles S (NYC Halloween Corporate Party, 200 People)
