"When someone cooks for you, they are saying something. They are telling you about themselves: where they come from, who they are, and what makes them happy." ~Anthony Bourdain Hi! I'm Lauren Clever, The Bougie Foodie! Growing up in a large Italian family that often centered around wonderful meals and conversation, I am fulfilling my life-long dream of bringing that joy to my clients! I am a small event focused personal chef, and I offer fabulous dining experiences within your home or venue. Each event is unique in the type of food, style, and occasion. I work directly with clients to create a fabulous menu and logistic details... and that is it! I will handle everything from the planning, shopping, prepping, set up, cooking, and clean-up. You don't have to worry about anything but entertaining your guests - The Bougie Foodie has the kitchen under control! Each event is meaningful and provides wonderful life-long memories with your friends and families, along with amazing food, of course! Let The Bougie Foodie be your personal chef!
