Writing the MF Book on Catering
For the second consecutive year, readers have named Chef Colon Robles Best Chef, recognition that reflects more than what appears on the plate.
Together, Colon and his wife, Chef Britt Robles, bring nearly four decades of combined hospitality experience to MouthFeel. Their careers have spanned restaurants, catering companies, professional kitchens, private events, and other corners of hospitality, giving them an uncommon view of what happens both in front of guests and behind the scenes.
That perspective became the foundation for The MF Guide.
After years inside the industry, Britt and Colon realized how often clients are asked to make expensive decisions without knowing which questions to ask. Who is actually preparing the food? Will the chef or owner be present? What is made from scratch? How are substitutions handled? What should a client understand about licensing, food safety, tastings, contracts, and service expectations before signing?
The MF Guide was written to put that knowledge where Britt and Colon believe it belongs: in the hands of the consumer.
It does not tell readers whom to hire. It teaches them how to evaluate caterers, recognize meaningful answers, identify red flags, and make informed decisions with greater confidence.
The Robleses have earned more than 40 awards, but their authority is rooted in something deeper: decades doing the work, seeing things from the inside, and learning which questions matter.
For anyone planning an event, The MF Guide offers something invaluable: the knowledge to choose with confidence.
