Willie makes delicious food week after week. Easy just to reheat and eat, or freeze if needed. Easy to order and pick up.

I have personally gotten meals from the Neighborhood Chef, and I have gotten catering from them for Sky City Entrepreneur Center. Everything is tasty, fresh, and reheats well. Also Willie is a wonderful member of our local business community, and he makes it easy to shop local/eat local!

Only the best healthy meals you can get! I’m a small business owner and have zero time to cook. Because of the Neighbor Chef, I’m no longer finding myself having to go to Cookout to get myself a meal at 11 o’clock at night. I’m eating healthy in 2 minutes! Which is about how long it takes to microwave most meals. I tried meal prepping on my own, and hated having to eat the same thing for the next 5days. Now I have some diversity when I order my meal preps from Willie, the Neighborhood Chef! Also, don’t miss out on his Mexican dishes, they’re my fav!
