Design
Designing exclusive events for special occasions makes for a long-lasting impression on visitors and guests. Consider calling me to plan your next celebration or secret soirée together. We may come up with something amazing together. I have ideas. You do too.
NOW PLAYING : :
Everyone loves a better
than average BBQ.
The summer ends in September.
State of Mind:
We Americans consume food like predators. We move through the world with our mouths open and ready to eat. We seldom consider the cuisine and how it got onto our plate.
When we consume a meal we should consider all the steps it took to prepare the cuisine on the plate. By the time the cuisine is served, many steps had to go just right.
When we don’t think about what we are eating, we become a predator that is always consuming, and is seldom satisfied. In this way, the flavors and pleasure of enjoying great cuisine are lost to eating food for mere survival.
When we think about all these steps we don’t have to consume as much. We can be more satisfied and fulfilled.
Buon Appetito.

How it all Started
.... And has it really been 5 years already?
In July 2020 a good friend, Danielle Cabral,
called me up and said she was hanging out
with her friends in her backyard to watch a
UFC fight. She wanted me to cook for them.
And, she didn’t just want a standard three
course meal. She wanted a show. #RHONJ
Danielle was always over the top and
Boujee which is why she’s lovingly
known as the “Boujee Mama”.
She wanted me to do a show for each course with a play-by-play on how I prepared each dish. She also wanted hand-crafted cocktails with each course, which is my hidden passion. At the time this kind of special event was not in my wheelhouse as an executive Chef.
I was previously in an a la carte service restaurant. These types of events aren’t ideal to fit into a normal work schedule. Somehow I made it work. I did the show.
Executive Chef Mike was started and branded in
October of 2020. It all started with one package,
and just one employee.
Today we have over ten packages for clients to
choose and over ten employees who are traveling
through the Tri-state area. We make steady
improvements with each new event.
These improvements are there to make sure
that our clients and happier with us than all
the previous events.
It's a Happy Fifth Anniversary to me but, it's really a Happy Anniversary to you, my clients, and helping to bring the Chef Mike experience to others.
Thank you so very much,
Mike DiLeo
