About
Our Ingredients
Food is the love of my life. I've spent hours upon days reading cookbooks like they are novels, leafing through magazines, ripping out recipes, taking photos of artichokes and berries at farmer’s markets, standing barefoot in my Covington kitchen, trying new ideas or recreating tried and true combinations, sipping wine … cooking.

"People who love to eat are always the best people."
When cooking is your true passion, you quickly realize that no matter how talented you may be, if you don’t start with the best ingredients, you will only succeed in cultivating mediocrity.
- Sourcing
Expertly crafted dishes can only be created when chefs start with fresh, high quality food. At eat well we approach our sourcing like chef-artists, carefully curating materials which will bring our vision to life. We are caterers, but unlike our competitors, that does not make us less than restaurant chefs. When it comes to procuring and sourcing our food, we do not order everything from plastic wrap to steak from one single vendor, we work with many vendors to get the best quality and value.
- Fresh & Local
We do not use canned and frozen vegetables, we choose fresh vegetables. We take the trouble to order from local farms and regionally owned companies. We make all of our stocks, sauces, dressings and marinades from scratch. We have an in-house pastry chef, who carefully creates all our sweet treats and morning baked goods, we don’t purchase frozen pre-made items or make things out of a box. We know the name of the farm where our chicken comes from, and we specify organic salmon and choice beef when we order. To the best of our ability, we follow Monterey Bay seafood purchasing practices.
We cook at eat well like you would cook in your home for very special invited guests. We specialize in entertaining, and in food, because the fact is, we love to eat.
