Meet Soul Food Chef Amelia

Hello there! My name is Soul Food Chef Amelia, and I’m the proud owner of Amelia’s Catering Kitchen & Events, LLC.

Cooking is more than just a business to me—it comes straight from my heart and soul. From my crispy fried chicken and fried catfish to my delicious homemade side dishes, I like to let my soul food do the talking!

Growing up in a biracial household, cooking was always a big part of my life, and I was often the one in the kitchen bringing everyone together through food. I also love preparing Filipino dishes to celebrate and share my Asian heritage and culture. Bringing together the flavors I grew up with allows me to show different sides of who I am through my cooking.

Cooking and serving others truly makes me happy and lights up my heart. Now, I’m proud to bring that same love, passion, culture, and soulful flavor to San Antonio and the surrounding areas, one delicious plate at a time. At Amelia’s Kitchen, every dish is prepared with love and served straight from the soul!

Ordering & catering questions

Questions before you order or book?

What kind of food does Chef Amelia cook?

Soul food. The plates are chicken, catfish, spaghetti with meat sauce, and smothered pork chops. Sides are mac and cheese, collard greens, potato salad, French fries, butter cornbread, rice, and broccoli. Barbecue chicken and smoked turkey legs are event and catering items.

What does Amelia's Catering Kitchen & Events offer?

Chef Amelia offers soul food straight from the soul.

What are the hours?

Open daily, 11 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, unless posted otherwise.

Pickup or delivery?

Both. Delivery pricing is shown on the ordering page.

How do I place an individual order?

Tap "Order online" to place and pay for your plate order through our ordering provider. If you want something that isn't on the ordering page, text or email Chef Amelia and she or her team will come back to you.

What catering service styles are available?

Five: drop-off and set-up, full-service catering, event chef service, individually packaged plates, and Private Chef Amelia. See all five.

What should I include when requesting catering?

Event date, guest count, occasion, location or service area, preferred service style, menu ideas, dietary needs, and what type of catering. That gives Chef Amelia and her team a good idea of what you're looking for, and she will give you a quote.

Where does Chef Amelia serve?

San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Chef Amelia is growing her catering to the Austin, Dallas, and Houston areas — that is where she is headed, not where she is booked today, so ask her before you plan around it. If your event is outside San Antonio, send the location with your request and she will tell you straight what she can do.

Do you cater weddings?

Book your wedding with Chef Amelia — send the date, the guest count, and the venue, and she will tell you what she can do for it. Weddings are exactly the kind of event she is booking this fall, and the date matters more than the menu at this stage.

How does booking work?

You and Chef Amelia agree on the quote first. The contract comes after that, and a deposit holds your date.

Can you work around allergies or dietary needs?

Put it in your request and she will tell you what she can do.

Is online ordering available?

Yes. Tap "Order online" in the order section and you'll be taken to Chef Amelia's ordering page, where you place and pay for your order.

How do I contact Chef Amelia and her team?
Call or text (786) 734-7285, or email amelia_kitchen@myyahoo.com.
