We also cook meals at our own location in order to have the food ready to go when you are. Our intention is for those of you with busy lifestyles to make a great impression on your guests by providing delicious, quality food that will be prepared and cooked to order.
 
Chef Exclusive is a full service catering company. Corporate catering, wedding catering, holiday catering, in home catering and Bridal Show catering are just a few of the services that we offer.
 
Executive Chef Daneyon White leads our culinary team. He brings more than 10 years of professional experience to Chef Exclusive. The graduate of Rhode Island’s reputable Johnson and Wales University has a bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts and Applied Science.
 
When you invite Chef Exclusive catering into your home, you are getting high quality from his experiences with highly regarded companies such as: Walt Disney World Company, Marriott Inc., Flying Bridge and Guest Services. You are also getting his executive chef experience from a top-notch country club, and an internationally recognized hotel company in New England, brought right to your table.
 
But there’s a lot more to Daneyon than his resume. “I started cooking in a nursing home during my senior year in high school,” he says. “One day I saw a pamphlet for a culinary school and realized I wanted to be a chef.”
 
Daneyon actually grew up wanting to become an electrical engineer, and at one point, was destined to play professional football. When he ended up getting sidelined with an injury, he traded in his shoulder pads for oven mitts and has never looked back. Everyone, from his parents to his teammates, supported his decision.
 
“One of my best friends is a professional football player with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Seeing him achieve his dream has pushed me to achieve my dreams,” he says.
 
To Daneyon, that dream is using his skills to give people the special touch he feels they deserve. “One thing I provide people with is a touch of elegance with a touch of personal service that most chefs don’t cater to,” he says. “For example, if you call a catering company, they’ll make sure you fulfill a certain number requirement before they will come out and serve you. To me, it doesn’t matter. We will come for just one person. One person to 1,000 – that’s our motto.”
