Tampa Families Get Food Rescue from Personal Chef Cristian Feher

Tampa, FL, May 07, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Families in the Tampa Bay area have evolved. More than half of the households in Tampa have dual incomes earned by, both, men and women. More women are working, and there is a rise in business ownership by women. And although this is good news for our economic times, this modern trend is having a toll on the traditional family.

Tampa Bay women are busier than ever. In addition to their job obligations, they are still in charge of their household. They are still expected to be the caretaker of their families and provide them with proper nutrition. The problem of eating out and fast food is all too obvious. According to the Center for Disease Control, it is estimated that 67% of Americans are overweight. "It's just really hard to cope during the week," says Alicia McBride, a mother of 2 in Tampa. "You want to make sure that your family is getting proper nutrition, but at the end of the day, realistically, with after school activities, errands and taking care of the household we end up eating out or picking up something quick. And it shows." She says pinching her son's belly. And because of this, the personal chef industry is booming despite the economy.

Chef Cristian Feher is the head chef at Tampa Bay Chef Services in Tampa, FL. His company provides personal chef services which help families like Alicia's to eat good, healthy food every day of the week. "I feel like a fire fighter in the sense that we are really getting in there and rescuing these families from a situation that is potentially hazardous to their health," explains Chef Cristian. "With our services they don't have to eat fast food and get take-out meals every day. They can actually get good, healthy, home-cooked, delicious food prepared by a chef in their own kitchen. We are essentially stepping in and supporting the family unit." There are many families like Alicia's in the Bay area that take advantage of Chef Cristian's service. "People have found out that we're here, and that we exist, and they're relieved that there is an affordable solution to keep them well fed and energetic throughout the week!"
