We provide extensive menu options for all of our clients. However, if you would like something prepared that is not listed (a family favorite, recipe from a magazine etc.), I am most certain that we can fulfill your request!
-
You will notice that prices are not listed. This is to ensure that you receive the best cost per person possible based on current market prices and that you can plan a menu that is uniquely you.

We ask that customers first select those food items they are interested in serving at their event. These menu items are then costed out at current market prices and a meal cost is sent to you via US Postal Service or e-mail.
