nyc doesn’t do boring. neither should your plate.

mdk is New York on a plate — a culinary project by jg, a private chef, storyteller, and 718 original, serving up NYC Cuisine.

what the hell is nyc cuisine?

born from a blue-collar Brooklyn-Queens upbringing, where experiencing another culture didn't require a plane ticket. All you had to do was walk up the block.

MDK pulls from the bodegas, red-sauce joints, Jewish delis, Chinese takeout spots, Caribbean kitchens, street carts and countless communities that taught me how New York eats.

No rules about what belongs together. No culinary ego. Just food with a story, and a whole lot of flavor.

“have tried way too many meal prep services. menus always gets stale and food is good enough, but never something i get excited for. cut to mdk. lifesaver! menus are always new and unique and the food is so delicious. worth it!”

- devon g. (Brooklyn)

“we love mdk. the menus are well thought out and balanced and the flavors are delicious, jG is great at communicating. pick up is easy! highly recommend.”

- Amy J. (Maplewood, NJ)

“jG and mdk came highly recommended from my brother as we were preparing for our mother's 70th birthday brunch. now here was the challenge: we only had 72 hours to plan the brunch.

they not only curated the menu, delivered the food, and stayed within our budget; he had our guests in awe! they ate and left no crumbs (literally).

we're all counting down until we can work with mdk again!”

— chevonne v. (Brooklyn)

“as a working mom in the suburbs, i’m grateful to have found mdk. jg is kind and thoughtful; he takes the time to understand his clients’ tastes and needs, while keeping ordering easy.

meals are always delicious, with flavorful food that can be harder to find outside the city!”

— julia s. (Maplewood, NJ)
