Personnel Chef Business

[CHUCKWAGONCOOK]

I'm starting a new venture in my life. I thought I would be a personal chef.

Having gone to School in Germany for the Culinary arts and have worked in great restaurants, I feel as if it's time for me to venture out on my own.

I've built a web-site called RockStarChef.org. (http://rockstarchef.org) Could you guys take a peak at it and comment back to me on the pro's and con's of the site.

Some of you I'm sure are more professional at this than I am.

It's a local West NC business. Asheville area.

I'm going to take out adds in the restaurant magazines and pamplets, newspapers and such around the area promoting my business. Driving them to my web site for more info.
Any other ideas how to promote such a business?

Thanks Fella's and Gals
Lenny

Do you mean personal chef? Because your header says personnel which is a work force. Check your spelling to make sure it matches throughout the site.

Great call Jauble. Thanks buddy.

Just nitpicking budday:

This needs to be plural or clarify: back to the state to cook

Gourmet Dinner does not need capitalization.

From there I will make a time when we can discuss at further length your dinner options and prices. I would state "after your application is received, I will contact you to work out a time where we can discuss the planned services."

Just a few things I saw.

Good for you starting up your own business.

You have a couple of spelling errors (herbes de Provence, not herbe; porcini mushrooms, not porchini...) in your menu and I don't know about the use of all caps in your description ... as a reader, I tune out all-caps because I read it as "shouting" and don't recommend it as a web designer.

PM me for a more detailed look-see of your entire site, though. I only eyeballed it quickly for about 45 seconds.

rockstar gourmet has the tiny bread from the backstage in "Spinal Tap"

"you can just fold the meat"

"but you can't fold the bread. i need it symmetrical"

Celebrity endorsements are always a big selling point. I'd make this your front page splash picture:

You and your spamming. It's just out of control.

dinning pleasure should be dining pleasure. You should really go through your site and double and triple check for these kinds of errors. Your customers will more than likely be professionals with advanced educations who will spot these kinds of mistakes and hold it against you. Good luck and you should be proud to start something like this, it takes a lot of guts.

On your Menu & Pricing page:
Most dishes and cook wear to be supplied by customer. It should be cookware, the way you have it it sounds like they should be supplying clothes.

From the early age 16 the kitchen took a hold of my soul. Add of after age and remove a after took.

experience that molted my culinary career Molted should be replaced with molded. The other way its like you are a snake shedding its skin...ewwww

Sorry, but I love this shit... I can pick out misspellings and grammatical errors in everything I read.

[Enabler]

In the About Your Chef section you misspelled "molded"

"Attending school in Germany was an experience that molted my culinary career."

It's not just spelling, but it's syntax and usage errors as well.

Spell-check should NEVER replace a manual QC!

[CHUCKWAGONCOOK]

All you fellas are really great. I do apreciate your help on this. Some of those mistakes you pointed out where simple little crap that I have missed do to my awful spelling abilities and grammar.

My issue with spell check is that it gives you more than one choice most of the time. How the fuck is that suppose to help me?

You guys are the breast! Thanks for the help.

Especially from Booster. You'de of thunk that you and I could of come together like this.
It's wacky.

Freudian slip? Or not?

Like the Big Ass Prize Closet pic!

amuse Bushe s/b amuse bouche
hoisen sauce s/b hoisin sauce

See that? I just picked two nits!
Good luck Chef Lenny!

Other than continuing the spell check corrections ( porchini should be porcini) I would strongly recommend dropping the galacticdefense@yahoo.com link on your personal info.

Makes you look a little nutty.



Not that you are, mind you.

Love the Big Ass Prize Closet photo in the contacts page of the website:clap::lol:

First off; Congrats!

I do have to say though that from a visual stand point the mix of colors and fonts throughout the pages are very distracting and not very pleasing to the eye. The yellow on brown and red on brown is very hard to read and one loses interest in reading.

The consistent and simple fonts in the forum section on a tone on tone background are much more pleasing and classic. I would stick with that.


I like the tomato plant as a header but I would have someone create a nice rock star-ish "Rock Star Chef" logo to use on all pages. The yellow comic sans type of font just doesn't stand out.

everyone already got my spelling mistakes but it looks good budday! i sent a link to some friends in raleigh! good luck!

I totally agree. Get a guitar or a microphone or a star graphic or something mixed in there.

Congratulations and best of luck on the new business venture, buddy!

You're going to be the greatest personal chef EVER! You'll see!!!
