Today we’d like to introduce you to Dominick Ward.
Hi Dominick , can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Becoming a catering chef wasn’t something I initially set out to do—it was something that naturally unfolded over time. My journey began by hosting cookouts and family gatherings, which soon led to friends and relatives requesting my services for their own events. As word spread, my brand began to grow, and I realized it was time to take things to the next level by obtaining the proper credentials and qualifications to become a certified catering chef.
I truly love what I do. For me, it’s never been about the money—it’s about the joy, the smiles, and the genuine appreciation I receive after each event. Those moments mean more to me than any monetary reward.
My family has been my biggest supporters throughout this journey, standing by my side and contributing to the growth of our business. I pray that I continue to grow, perfect my craft, and keep bringing smiles to people’s faces through the food I create.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Being a catering chef has not always been easy. The long nights, early mornings, reliance on others, and constant attention to detail can be challenging. Working with different venues and clients presents its own set of obstacles, and the pressure to ensure everything runs smoothly can be intense. With experience, the work doesn’t necessarily become easier—you simply learn to anticipate potential challenges and handle each event with greater confidence and preparation.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
As a career chef, I believe there are many ways to elevate an event beyond just the food. Every detail matters—from the décor and warm greetings to the presentation and overall professionalism. Guests often judge a service with their eyes before they ever taste the food, which is why I take pride in ensuring excellence in every aspect of the experience. Practicing professionalism and taking pride in every detail is what truly defines my work and what I am most proud of.
