EP #43 From NYC to Fredericksburg: A Chef's Homecoming

Ever wondered what happens when culinary artistry meets hometown dedication? Chef Brittany Flint welcomes us into her world of elevated dining experiences through CBF Catering, a Fredericksburg-based private chef service that's redefining local food culture.Starting in the heart of her childhood home's kitchen, Brittany's culinary passion led her across state lines to the prestigious French Culinary Institute in Manhattan. Despite initial nerves about leaving Spotsylvania for the big city, she found herself thriving. Her impressive career includes experience at Richard Gere's high-end Westchester County restaurant before bringing her expertise back to Virginia. Now, through CBF Catering, she delivers restaurant-quality experiences with a personal touch that large establishments simply can't match.What truly sets Chef Flint apart is her approach to food as genuine artistry. Her catering service specializes in intimate gatherings of 100 guests or fewer, where her culinary creations become the centerpiece rather than getting "lost in the chaos" of larger events. Perhaps most innovative is her "Family Meal" prep service—inspired by the restaurant tradition of staff meals—offering busy Fredericksburg families the luxury of chef-prepared, locally-sourced meals delivered weekly. As Brittany puts it, it's "like having a personal chef, but just on a budget."Between creating culinary masterpieces, you'll find Brittany in her garden—a passion she feels naturally complements cooking—or enjoying poolside time with her children. Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs resonates beyond the kitchen: follow your intuition, embrace your passion, and resist the urge to compare your beginning to someone else's middle.
