Specialties Gourmet did more than provide our Pro athletes with prepared meals--they were great tasting and very popular with our clients. Thanks for being on time, neat, and fit to serve. It is exactly what we need to exceed the expectations of our clients.

Thank you again and again for making this event very special for me and the ladies involved (Daughters of Sarah Allen, Bethel A.M.E. Church). Two thumbs up for a job well done...The ladies and I thought every aspect of the meal was outstanding. You and your staff served 66+ women with style, grace and ease. Most of all the aroma and taste of the meal were at the top of the list. We must do this again...Thanks..... Gaye O'Neal Harper

Chef Hawkins,

I want to say that we were very impressed with your service, food selection, and overall professionalism. You had everyone wanting seconds, thirds, and fourths. The entrees you presented were just over the top, and all for a reasonable price. As my dad says..."this was some good eating, you must have put your foot in the pot, because the entire meal was kicking".

Thanks Again.

Alan Williams

Dear Chef Matrell:

This is to express my sincere thanks to you for appearing as guest on my talk show, “To Your Good Health”, which aired on Talk Radio WTAL 1450 AM on Tuesday, December 6. Your discussion of Lighting-up the Traditional Holiday Meal was both interesting and informative. I have received very positive feedback from our listeners and hope that Specialties Gourmet Personal Chef Service has benefited from the broadcast as well.

I look forward to working with you again in the future on “To Your Good Health”. If I can be of assistance to you, please give me a call.

Sincerely,

Sandy Bennett Jefferson


Thanks for a lovely production for our Zonta holiday party last Friday. Everything was beautiful and delicious as usual. We had some rice left over and some sauce, but that's all! The mushrooms you did for Gaye disappeared in a heartbeat.

Hope you have a happy and busy remainder of the holiday season.

With best regards,

I have used Chef Matrell of Specialties-Gourmet for several functions at our home. She is always quite the consummate professional and her menus are creative and delicious!

Our family and friends comment not only on the quality and distinct taste of the food, but also the beautiful presentation. Chef Matrell's expertise is not limited to any one particular type of food. She has prepared finger foods for a cocktail party, as well as a full-fledged southern breakfast, with cheese grits and homemade biscuits.

I highly recommend Chef Matrell Hawkins to anyone who is seeking food with flair, quality service, and true professionalism. Chef Matrell can accommodate parties of all sizes.

Everything Chef Matrell cooks is absolutely delicious. From her famous ribs and specialty desserts to the infamous Fillet Mignon. It’s hard to believe that some of these meals and desserts are sugar-free, carb-free, or dairy-free, and yet taste so good. Thank you so much for making lunch time the highlight of my day.

Beth Paterniti


Everything she cooks is like heaven..... awesome! One of my favorites is the Fillet Mignon delicious!!! Try her out I promise you won't regret it.

Pam

Amy Kuykendall


The food was just wonderful. The favorites were the chicken duxelle and the coconut cake. Although all was great. People couldn't believe it was chicken--thought it had to be pork tenderloin, it was so moist and rich.

Thanks again !!!!”

Mary Anne


I cannot believe how much weight I have lost in just two weeks and the food was delicious, too! My favorites were the asparagus soup and homemade butter pecan ice cream—both were just scrumptious.

Thank You.”
