My wife and I both worked in the service industry in New Orleans--me as a chef and my wife as a sommelier--so we have high standards for food. When we hired Chef David Hargrove and his catering company, 2brother1love, for our 130-person wedding at Music Box Village, we were absolutely blown away by the level of care, creativity, and service he provided.From the start, Chef David went above and beyond. He was incredibly communicative, listened closely to our needs, and worked with us to design a custom menu that reflected our tastes. Not only was the price more than fair compared to other options in New Orleans, but Chef David took the time to make sure every detail was perfect.The food itself was phenomenal. For appetizers, we had fried green tomatoes with crab salad, quesadillas, watermelon and feta skewers, and tuna tartare in crispy wonton shells. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The tuna tartare was a standout--bright, spicy, and perfectly balanced.For dinner, Chef David delivered an unforgettable feast. The braised lamb yassa with semolina dumplings was rich and succulent, while the seared salmon with lentils was perfectly cooked--no small feat for 130 guests! We also had Moroccan spiced chickpea stew, rice pilaf, stewed collard greens, and a halloumi-strawberry salad. Everything was seasoned to perfection, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. At one point, we had to provide to-go boxes because so many guests wanted to take the food home!What really set Chef David apart, though, was how he went above and beyond throughout the entire event. In addition to preparing the food, he agreed to cut our wedding cake and serve coffee afterward--something that made a big difference and added such a personal touch. His attention to detail and the care his team took to ensure everything ran smoothly truly made our wedding day stress-free.If you want creative, delicious food paired with outstanding service, Chef David is the way to go. He not only met our expectations but exceeded them in every way. We couldn't recommend him more!
