Our Chef

C.E.C Darvin Alford

The soul force behind Tasty Chef Catering, Chef D. Alford, lives by the quote, “You’re only as good as your last plate.” With over 12 years in the food industry, he’s worn many hats, each contributing to his culinary “seasoning.” His passion for food ignited at an early age, fueled by family and friends. After graduating from Pulaski Technical College’s Culinary Arts School in 2012, Chef Alford quickly rose in the catering world. Within just five years, he founded Tasty Chef Catering, earning accolades like North Little Rock Awards Program Best Caterer Award held from 2019 - 2024 which affirms his dedication to excellence. These honors, along with his clients’ satisfaction, drive his relentless pursuit of culinary perfection.

“Cooking is my art form, a medium through which I express myself. I take great pleasure in harmonizing flavors and carefully composing plate arrangements, it’s where I found my voice and it speaks loudly. Some may wonder how I came to be a chef, but the truth is, it found me. Ever since I can recall, I have had a passion for food.”
