Where I’m Eating: With My Personal Chef.

With a PhD in agriculture, Chef Jim Holderbaum left his job to pursue his passion as a personal chef. Chef Holderbaum has traveled to more than 60 countries taking in cooking methods, flavors and food presentations that inspired him to start the new dining/catering concept called Range and Reef, serving Washington, DC, Baltimore and the Eastern Shore towns, Delaware, and all surrounding areas in DC, MD and VA. Check out his lobster skills in the picture on the right. Yum.
Chef Chris Hackett, is the man behind the method at Indulge Catering. When a friend decided to do what I call, an “Adult Birthday Party”, and hire a personal chef for the food, I was introduced to his talents. Talented he is, Chef Hackett served up slow roasted ribs, roasted brussel sprouts spiked with bacon and lobster corn chowder martini soups. Creativity must run in the family, Chef Hackett’s brother, Chef Michael Walters, is keeping things fresh at Mount Vernon Square’s Silo. More info on how to get in Indulge at your next gathering can be found by emailing IndulgeCatering2012@yahoo.com.
Needless to say I love the talents at The Kitchen at Blue Creek and Chef Gregory Booth still has me mesmerized by the way he seamlessly handles whipping out fresh pasta. Besides fresh pasta, Chef Gregory sticks to familiar dishes with a splash of his own artistry to wow guests. When he’s not cooking it up for one of your favorite celebrities around the country, he is here in the DC area making it happen at Blue Creek. Get more deets here.

Indulge Catering uses food from previous events. I watched Chris serve the same shrimp two days in a row. I know for a fact he reuses food. Gross. I notified health department. You should be aware of this, talk with him about this because its disgusting.
