From a young age, Chef Maggie Pallan was interested in cooking. At age fifteen she enrolled in culinary school and from there her love of the culinary arts grew and propelled her forward. Over the next 30 years, she would hone her culinary skills by working in hotels and restaurants, eventually attaining the title of Chef de Cuisine of three restaurants at Green Valley Resort, Las Vegas after working at the J.W. Marriott, MGM Grand, Mirage, and Monte Carlo resorts. Before her resort work, she trained at independent chef-owned and corporate restaurants gaining kitchen, front-of-house, and managerial experience. Chef Maggie has trained with noted Certified Master Chefs and has over 30 years culinary and restaurant experience. Chef Maggie is blessed to have full reign of a large, immaculate commercial kitchen fully stocked with ingredients from the far reaches of the world ready to be transformed into world-class cuisine. She is inspired by local ingredients and cuisines as well as cuisines all around the world. If you can dream it, she can create it!
Chef Maggie's goal is to help you and your guests have outstanding culinary experiences. Her focus has always been on the guest and their experience.
A desire to create original cuisine for private clients led Chef Maggie to open Two Chefs to Go, collaborating with another chef, which was successful for eleven years.

How does it work?
When you contact us, give us your event details, date, and taste preferences and we will create your custom menu based on your likes, guests, budget, style, and vision for the event.
On the day of the event (or a few days before depending on your guest count), we will show up on time, assemble and decorate our own buffet tables and areas, unload kitchen equipment, groceries, and ingredients and start to prepare your menu fresh in your kitchen.
If your event is a buffet, we will refill the buffet with fresh food so that each guest gets a great experience.
As the event winds down, we pack up leftover food and leave it in your refrigerator. We also pack up our equipment and clean your kitchen spotless.
Hosting an event with Artisan Chef is like being a guest at your own party; enjoyable and stress-free.
