AV Gourmet

Food has a beautiful way of bringing people together, and I love to curate those special moments for our clients.” Chef Alexis Valentine is a chef by trade and a caregiver by nature. Valentine began his culinary training early on as an unofficial pupil of his mother, who was also a chef. “Cooking is spiritual for me, and making it my career was always a calling of mine; I always knew it was my purpose.” After training professionally in New York City, Valentine found himself cooking for some of the best restaurants in Fort Lauderdale, where he met his business partner, Leo. The two later relocated their new business to Raleigh, where they began taking on private clients before moving to Atlanta. AV Gourmet was born out of a need for a catering service that provided highly-personalized customer service and an element of creativity not normally seen in most catering companies. “Our clients love the high level of personalization and care that goes into every menu we create,” says Valentine. “At AV Gourmet, we place a strong emphasis on exquisite customer service and carefully curated selections that fit each client’s unique personality and story. You will find that no two menus at AV Gourmet are ever the same.” Valentine prides himself on being able to create a menu for any combination of cultures and preferences. “Making each client feel special isn’t just a priority, but a passion at AV Gourmet. I can’t wait to personalize a menu for your palette.
