TERRIFIC TWOS
The Chef and his Wife celebrates two years in Hixson
It all began in a church basement seven years ago.
The Chef and his Wife first opened as a small-scale meal delivery service, operated out of a church on Bonny Oaks Drive. The business has since expanded to include two locations: one in Hixson and one on Lee Highway in East Brainerd, located in Brook Stone Business Park at the Standifer Gap Road intersection.
Each week, Executive Chef Timothy Mulderink and his culinary crew prepare more than a dozen rotating dishes, such as meatloaf and chicken potpie. Options include vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, to boot. Then, the menu is posted online at thechefandwife.com — listing dishes available fresh or frozen, for home delivery or in-store pickup from either of The Chef and his Wife’s locations.
Both locations also boast grabn-go coolers, featuring a variety of take-n-bake pizzas, soups, and The Chef and his Wife’s variety of famous pimiento cheese spreads: original, smoked Gouda and jalapeno. The scratch-made spreads can also be found in local Food City grocery stores.
But customers don’t have to enjoy the Chef’s offerings off-site. The Hixson location boasts a private banquet room, capable of accommodating as many as 45 guests. And on April 1, the Hixson store celebrates its 2-year anniversary — where they do the cooking, and you set the table!
