Dragonfly Travels, based in Foley, AL, is a veteran-owned Personal Chef Services company that specializes in wedding and intimate event meals. Whether you are looking for Bridal Brunches, bachelor(ette) dinners, parent meet-and-greet lunches, engagement dinners, or anything else, we have you covered!
We take care of everything for you, from meal planning to cleanup! We grocery shop, come to your kitchen, prepare and serve your menu to you and your guests, and then clean up, leaving nothing for you to worry about except relaxing and enjoying.
We started this business because we wanted to bring a truly unique Chef experience, with a focus on excellent hosting and quality dishes that encompass our guests' visions. Have you ever wished to have a say in a restaurant's menu or get up close and personal with the Chef and team? What about having a truly engaging service that focuses solely on you?
Chef Tino has over 20 years of experience in the industry and provides integrity-driven, professional, and courteous service.
We currently offer seasonal Prix Fixe menus that focus on locally sourced produce if you want to really narrow down the choices, or we can fully customize a meal event for you and your guests! We take EVERYTHING into consideration, from Allergens to must-haves, and we take the time to pay attention to the little details that will make your event one that is talked about for years to come. We work with you to create the menus, discuss how many courses, and if we need to create a specific dish for any of your guests based on dietary beliefs.
Chef Tino's passion is food, more specifically, creating and cultivating the sense of community that was once at every dinner table. We frequent the farmer's markets to discuss with farmers their products, procedures, and what they have coming up. We also engage regularly with local vendors to stay on top of what is available and how we can present quality foods to guests as well as new and different ways to utilize foods in dishes. In doing so, we get to build that sense of comradery in every dish we make and deliver to your table. We make sure to include the hard-working farmer's foods when and where we can, as well as focus on which ingredients will provide the best sense of fun and flavor for your meals. After all, we believe that the dinner table is where the truest essences of community are present!
Dragonfly Travels' Chef Tino specializes in fusing American foods with Asian and Latin cuisines for familiar yet fun twists that bridge ingredients from different cultures. He has trained with award-winning chefs and chefs that have tutored under some of the greats from our time and brings those experiences to your kitchen!
Call us to book your event today and let's create a food experience that takes everything off your plate (ha) so you can enjoy your time with your special guests worry-free!

Chef/Owner
I have a passion for food, the outdoors (mainly exploring new territory), my four dogs, fitness and learning. I launched Dragonfly Travels personal chef services to pursue my purpose and create a culture where anyone has an opportunity to be a part of and even taste incredible food! My wife and I traveled the US to see the beauty that our country offers and to learn diverse cusines that enable Dragonfly Travels to continue to set the bar when it comes to hosting and being of service to those around us. For now, the Dragonfly has settled in the coastal region of the southern US but when we spread our wings again, maybe we will land on a blade of grass near you!
