Plates On Deck

An Eclectic Soul Food Experience

Plates On Deck is Central Florida’s Home of Eclectic Soul Food, offering private chef and catering services throughout Orlando, Lakeland, and the surrounding areas.

What is Eclectic Soul Food?

Think home cooking meets fine dining — we live at the intersection of love, food, and family.

We take an elevated approach to soul food with our own spin on Southern Soul, Island Soul, Italian Soul, Latin Soul, Seafood Soul, and our very special Signature Eclectic Soul.

Meet Our Chef

His love and passion for food started at a very young age, and today he’s well versed in multiple cooking techniques, global cuisines, and custom menu planning for private dinners, events, and celebrations.
