FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Cost per guest varies depending on the guest count, the menu you select, the type of service you select, the venue, and your rental needs. For the average Chowgirls Classic event, a dinner will cost $100-125 per guest, including staff. If you talk with one of our Event Specialists, they’ll help you break down all the expenses so you can have a clear picture of your final total.

  • We believe in treasuring the freshest flavors and supporting local farms as much as possible. We find that seasonal fruits and vegetables are more fresh in flavor and precious in presentation. Seasonal ingredients reflect the regional crops, and because out-of-season produce travels from far reaches of the world, our commitment decreases environmental impact.

  • We offer two different delivery options in addition to our By-the-Box option. If you opt for a Sustainable Delivery, we'll send a staff member to set up and break down your food using our wares. If you opt for a Disposable Delivery, we'll drop off our food in compostable wares so that there is no need for us to return. Talk to an Event Specialist about which option is the best fit for your event.
