About Us
CHEF FOR HIRE was founded in 1989 by award-winning Chef and restaurant industry veteran and Monty G Degenhardt. Monty spent the previous years traversing the country working for one of the largest restaurant companies at the time opening dozens of cutting edge restaurants and innovative hotel foodservice operations. Settling in Indianapolis, Monty started a special event catering company earning a reputation for excellent food and service.
In the early nineties, he determined there was a demand for better-catered meals to childcare centers. Soon he was providing FSSA compliant food services to dozens of facilities. By 1996 Monty was working with many of Indiana’s Area Agency’s on Aging. The AAA’s fed thousands daily but with costly and antiquated systems. Home Delivered Meals were created to meet this challenging and critical foodservice niche.
