For over 15 years, Chef proprietor, Patrick W.Gassion was Executive Chef at Hilton Hotels and at 5-star hotels and restaurants in London, Paris, and  the Washington, D.C. area.  Chef Patrick W. Gassion produced and inspired memorable meals that could be enjoyed by the public or by Invitation Only. The Gazette and Washington newspapers reported, “Chef Patrick has created a four star empire unmatched by any restaurant in DMV.”
 
In the kitchens of some France’s finest restaurants, Chef Patrick discovered a talent for every aspect of cooking. “For a chef,” he says, “using all five senses is a better guide to the evolution of the dish than strictly observing the culinary rules.”
 
Chef Patrick worked closely with several top chefs in the United States such as Michel Richard and shared his culinary talent at the White House,  as well as at the German, Luxemburg and French Embassies.
 
Chef Patrick and partner, Chef Simon Ndjiki-nya, a former Executive Chef at several bistros in Paris, France and the Washington, D.C. area, established Chef Online Catering Company to meet the growing demand for the high quality food for all types of events and entertaining.

Chefs Patrick and Simon, overseeing Chef Online Catering house kitchen and bakery, insist on using only the best ingredients and ensuring that each maintains its own flavors.

Chefs Patrick and Simon say, “Respect for true taste of things leads you to make simple dishes.  What we like is to please our customers and impress their guests.”
