THUMBTACK REVIEW

Chef Jacqueline Jones

I had the pleasure of working with Chef Jacqueline Jones, owner of Passion for Great Taste Catering Company, when I contacted her in December 2025 to request a quote for a luncheon for my Women’s Bible Study Group. From our very first conversation, I knew I was working with someone who genuinely loved what she does and was committed to making our gathering special.

As a Christian woman, Chef Jacqueline made it easy for me to connect with her. Her warmth, enthusiasm and genuine interest in serving our group immediately put me at ease. She was excited about the opportunity from the very beginning and approached every aspect of our discussion with professionalism, courtesy, and a wealth of knowledge about her craft.

Chef Jacqueline was instrumental in helping me put together an exciting and appealing menu that would delight our guests. She took the time to understand our needs and assured me that the projected serving portions would be more than sufficient to accommodate everyone expected to attend. Her confidence and attention to detail gave me peace of mind throughout the planning process.

And the food? Absolutely delicious! Chef Jacqueline’s culinary contributions helped transform our luncheon into a beautiful and memorable occasion. Her talent, dedication, and passion for what she does were evident in the quality of the food and the overall experience.

One of the greatest blessings was knowing that everything was in capable hands. Rather than worrying about the details, I was able to relax, enjoy the fellowship, and share in the joy of the occasion with my Women’s Bible Study Group.

I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Jacqueline Jones and Passion for Great Taste Catering Company to anyone looking for a caterer who combines delicious food, professionalism, creativity, and a genuine heart for service. She did more than provide a meal; she helped create an enjoyable experience that allowed me to focus on what mattered most—fellowship, faith, and friendship.

Thank you, Chef Jacqueline, for sharing your gifts and talents with us. Your passion for great taste is evident in your work, and I am greateful for the wonderful contribution you made to our luncheon. May God continue to bless you, your business and the work of your hands!

Everything was incredible!! Thank you so much!

I am a community advocate who regularly provides food selections and desserts to local homeless shelters, small businesses and community recreation centers throughout the DMV (WashDC; PG County MD; Northern VA). Passion for Great Taste (PFGT) catering service has been the single and most reliable go-to supplier and server for delicious and exquisitely presented foods and desserts; especially the PFGT signature cakes and pies. Breakfast dishes that include PFGT’s proprietary quiche pies, shrimp & grits, waffles and pancakes (just to name a few). The lunch and dinner menus offer a variety of equally delectable choices that range from hoagie sandwiches, cheesesteak sandwiches and burgers; to Soul Food cuisine, Asian cuisine and Latin cuisine. I highly recommend PFGT for sports events, weddings, graduations, birthdays or even memorable celebrations for couples.

Passion for Great Taste was experienced by all who attended a catered event by Chef Jacqueline Jones. Chef Jones prepared a Charcuterie Table with various crunchy fresh veggies, various cheeses and crackers. Caesar Salad had plenty of visual appeal. It’s taste was a mixture of garlicy, lemony parmesan cheese that gave Caesar that kick. Baked Macaroni was yummy!! Cheesy, buttery and oozing with savory flavor. Fried Chicken wings were crunchy, juicy and crispy.

Good Morning!  Timmy is LOVING your food!!  I couldn't feed him fast enough so he took the fork from me lol

Your Chimi Churi chicken wings and Chicken Picata are fire!

My Aunt Jackie’s crab cakes are unparalleled. She cooked them for one of our Christmas breaks, and I was drawn to the refrigerator for two consecutive days. Following closely is her fried chicken, which introduced me to the unique flavor combination of fried chicken with a hint of lemon.

Hello again Chef, 

My guests said that the food was beyond delicious!!!! And once again, I wanted more but I couldn’t do it.  My nephew who doesn’t particularly care for turkey said it was really delicious.  Thank you so very much!! Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
