FAQ
What is the difference between personal chef service and catering?
Our personal chef service differs from catering, in that we deliver a full-service fine dining experience. We take care of every detail: cooking on-site, serving multiple courses and sharing the story of every bite with you and your guests. Also all dishware is provided and your kitchen will be left spotless.
What does the cost of service include?
We meet for a client consultation, where we discuss food preferences, create a personalized menu and perform a kitchen review. All necessary ingredients and dishware are provided. We cook, serve, clean up and take care of additional event logistics. All you need to do is invite your guests.
Where do you buy your ingredients?
We cook with the highest quality local and/or organic meats, seafood and produce. Generally, we shop at Whole Foods Market, Shem Creek Seafood, Beaufort Farmers Market and New York Butcher Shoppe, among other specialty shops in Greenville. For imported Spanish specialty ingredients we use La Tienda online shop.
Do you cook in my kitchen?
Yes, all meals are prepared in the safety of the client's kitchen. We perform a kitchen review ahead of time, so that we know what equipment to bring on event day. When we leave, your kitchen will be clean. If your home is not the event location, we will cook at the event venue.
Do I have to be home when you come to cook?
No, you do not have to be home on your scheduled cook date as long as appropriate arrangements are made in advance for TMC to gain access to your home.
Which geographic areas do you serve?
We provide personal chef services for events in Greenville, SC. We are ready, willing, and able to travel reasonable distances to surrounding areas.
TESTIMONIALS

“Alba, this was a very special night for all of us. It was a way of learning, bonding, loving. The food was so good. Thank you for the surprises. You warm our hearts.”
Julie, HR Generalist II
"Recently, the Röchling Automotive HR group had the pleasure of enjoying a team building opportunity with The Mediterranean Corner, located in the West End of downtown Greenville. Alba Sunyer Olle was the chef that facilitated the exercise with us and for us. We could not have been luckier. She did an unbelievable job working with us, as each team prepared their meals and shared stories and laughs. The setting she created was awesome. The food we prepared was so delicious and had such an exotic flare. We also had an opportunity to shop in The Cook's Station. If you ever have the opportunity to enjoy a team building exercise with The Mediterranean Corner, take it. It is fun, and it is memorable."
