Meet the Manager

Executive Chef Chris C.

Manager

Executive Chef Chris Chism is a gifted artist whether as a musician, songwriter or chef. When he is not in the kitchen he can be found on stage with his guitar, cooking for community causes, keeping up with two teenagers and spending time with friends.

Chef Chris’ culinary training began at Vaccaro’s in Dallas as Sous Chef under French chef, Jean Lafont. Several years later, Stephen Pyle, one of the founding fathers of Southwestern Cuisine, recruited Chris for the opening team of the original Star Canyon Restaurant.

His next move took him to new heights in Aspen, Colorado where he spent five years as Executive Chef at both Mezzaluna and Aspen Ski Company.

In 1999, Chris was drawn back to Texas by David Garrido who offered him a chef position at Jeffrey’s Restaurant. There he honed his skills as a Catering Chef before moving across the street as Head Chef of Cipollina Bistro.

Chris joined our team in March of 2004 and has become an integral part of 2 Dine 4’s success.

Can’t say enough good things about 2Dine4!!! I have used them for two parties in my home — one with heavy appetizers for 50 and the other with a seated dinner for 25. They arrive on time, with great attitudes and professionalism. One of our parties required moving of furniture to allow for all the guests and they took over all the heavy lifting without batting an eye!
Now the food… delicious! We had many guests complement us on the food — tasty and great presentation. I found everyone from the initial planner, bar staff, servers and chefs to be very professional and easy to work with.
They left my home exactly as they found it — which is almost the best part — and allowed me to enjoy my guests as well as the dinner.
I would recommend, without hesitation, 2Dine4 and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Hands down, the BEST caterer in Austin. I first sampled 2 Dine 4’s magic at a wine tasting about 12 years ago. I’ve never looked back. I’ve enlisted their services for every party and event I’ve hosted since. The staff is incredible, only to be surpassed by the delicious edibles. I recently attended a friend’s wedding and was able to identify a few of their delicious recipes before I found out who was doing the catering. I’m so happy to see these folks doing well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Dinner for 65 friends. This is as good as it gets.
Professional planning and a friendly, fun and motivated staff that worked together like they were all best friends. The food was fine dining quality and presented in a first class manner.
Stop looking. Call this company and sit back and relax. You will not be disappointed!

I’ve now had the chance to experience 2Dine4 in 3 different ways and all 3 experiences were great!
As a wedding coordinator:
I worked with Frank and his team and they were very professional and helpful! Their staff were great in helping with the set up, flipping and bar service. As you would expect for a May wedding in Texas, it was HOT HOT HOT! But even though they were probably sweating like crazy in their uniforms, the entire staff was still courteous and attentive.
As a wedding guest:
The wedding that I got to try 2 Dine 4’s caterer was delicious! The couple getting married are old college friends and I always remember them saying that good food was on the top of their list for wedding priorities.
As a guest of Supper Friends:
I’d heard about Supper Friends from the wedding I mentioned above. Instead of doing the traditional tastings, 2 Dine 4 hosts these wonderful dinner parties. Recently, I got a chance to try Supper Friends through Unilocal and it was a great experience!

We had their food at a wedding almost a year ago and it was amazing. We are wedding vendors as well and they treated us with the same courtesy and respect that they had for a wedding guest (which is so rare for caterers!). They were professional, kind, and the food was hot and delicious!

We experienced 2Dine4’s service and food at a beautiful wedding, so when it came time to select a caterer for my Dad’s 90th birthday party bash, I had VERY high expectations.
Each and every contact and detail, from the first phone call to lights out at the party site, exceeded my expectations. The care that Stephen showed in suggesting, listening to, and offering menu selections that would have special meaning to our family and my Dad was incredible. Never, ever, were our menu tweaks and special diet restrictions treated like a bother, but rather as an opportunity to fine-​tune our event.
Upon arrival at our site, Nicki, Terry, Chef Manuel, and Ryan instantly exuded calm and preparedness– they set up a gorgeous food display and went so above and beyond what they were there to do– it was almost as if they were working their own family’s event.
The food was AMAZING– every bit of it– even the tiniest details.
As I told Terry– they reminded me of what GREAT service and care used to feel like– it was refreshing!
Thanks guys, for making our event better than it would have been without you.

So good! These guys (and gals!) really know what they are doing. Having tried them at big events, I know they know food. Every thing we tried made us happy! (a bunch of foodies here). We’d been telling so many people about our great food experience that we ended up telling the owner himself! Then he introduced himself. (very nice by the way). They cook such a variety, it’s amazing that they do it all so well. Funny side note: Every time 2 Dine 4 comes up in conversation, we hear someone chime «That’s MY caterer!» Food so good, you’ll think you’re the only person they are cooking for. Such a treat!

I chose 2 Dine 4 Catering (on a whim) for our office holiday get-​together. They did not disappoint! The food was excellent… compliments from guests all evening long about the food. The service was impeccable. Attention to detail was very apparent. Would definitely use them again.

My husband and I took a trip to the Mediterranean before our wedding, and fell head-​over-​heels in love with the food. When it came to picking a catering company, it came down to how authentic, healthy, creative, and mouth-​watering the menu was, and 2Dine4 blew us out of the water.
Throughout the entire night, all of our guest couldn’t stop talking about how incredible the food was. All I heard was, «Have you had that Tres Leches?!»
As well as their food, their service was fantastic. Everyone was very polite, put together, organized, and thrilled to be serving such wonderful food. The waiter that served my husband and I even told us thank you for having such a great menu! And Gina, the event coordinator and main contact for 2Dine4, is wonderful. She is very sweet, patient, quick, and extremely helpful.
I would recommend 2Dine4 in a heart beat. If you love food, and want to work with other people that love food, 2Dine4 is your caterer.

on my drive to work this morning, i got the happy bumps. you know, the goosebumps you get from being excited and being on a natural high. can you point out what is wrong with this picture?
first of all, i was on my way to work. bingo. who gets excited going to work, you know, besides gigolos, professional shoppers, and my fiancé?
that’s right, i have a fiancé, and right now, we’re in the middle of planning our wedding.
so, it’s thursday morning; here i am, a woman (child) in the midst of planning a wedding, and i’m completely sane and happy.
so, you’re wondering: am i delusional or have i found some secret route to wedding planning sans stress?
unfortunately, there’s no secret route. i won’t discount being delusional just yet, but i have found something that alleviates stress-​levels and staves off unnecessary man/​woman disagreements: a kick-​butt caterer.
2 dine 4 had me at hello. their menus looked interesting and had some unique flavor profiles that set them apart from typical wedding fare. gina, their event planner, worked (very patiently) with us to come up with a menu that fit our vision and tastes. after several revisions, she came up with a tasty array of dishes that i am sure will be crowd pleasers.
we met with them yesterday to do a tasting of our proposed menu. everything was fabulous. i am in love with several of the dishes; in fact, i sometimes daydream about one of them…
the people at 2 dine 4 are warm and professional, and they seem to love doing what they do. at the end of the day, that works out well for all parties involved. you can taste a chef’s passion and soul in his cooking, and luckily for 2 dine 4, their chef’s soul really shines through in their food.
although they have not catered our event yet, we’re completely thrilled and excited to have them on board for our special day.

We used 2Dine4 as our wedding caterer, and we were very impressed with the food, service, and professionalism. Our wedding was small but these guys weren’t snobby about that, and our guests RAVED about the food. They let us taste-​test both the Mexican and Italian menus, and it was really tough deciding because all the food was soooo good. I would definitely recommend them for weddings! And I have to add that some other caterers can be flaky, but these guys are on the ball!

As a person who often hosts events for our business I have had experience with a wide variety of caterers and food service providers. At times when dealing with your run of the mill caterers, the service and food can be great but most of the time its rarely something to be remembered. My opinion of this was changed upon eating the food and catering from 2Dine4. Stephen and his staff not only presented a visually appealing layout of food, but the food itself was fresh, well prepared, and anything but forgettable. From salmon, to beef, and chicken and vegetarian dishes, my taste buds repeatedly thanked me as I went back for seconds, thirds, and fourths. Overall I highly recommend 2Dine4 for any event you may be having from large corporate and charity events, to conventions, and even weddings. The service, quality and standards are truly something you won’t forget and they are by far the best catering in Austin.
