​

There are over 80 wineries and 40 breweries in Maryland alone where the Tomato Chef food trailer will appear, attracting every customer who appreciates wine and beer and often uses such locations for weddings, special events, festivals and whatever the customers want us to locate. This will create a specialized market of individuals who purchase Tomato Chef’s catering appetizer package.

Our team

The Tomato Chef staff will be highly trained and deeply dedicated to making sure the customer has a great ordering, delivery, and meal experience — and more importantly, an experience that will bring the customer back.

Each and every employee will be required to understand our customer service philosophy and approach with our smile.
