Our office decided to Celebrate Black History Month , with a luncheon. From our initial phone call Chanae was very helpful in assisting me to pick out food options and portions to feed 125 people.

When I say that the food was AMAZING, as well as the personal touch and customer service. Chanae was always just a phone call away to answer all of my concerns and put me at ease. She handled everything to Perfection!!!

I wish that we would have taken pictures, but the crowd that surrounded me, was not going to allow it. They quickly enjoyed the Collard greens, green beans,rib tips, baked and fried chicken, mac and cheese, peach cobbler and the best pound cake that I have ever had in my entire life.

I ordered the rib tips with greens and Mac and murdered all of it as soon as I got home. The Mac was good, greens were good and the rib tips just as tender as they wanted to be! I will be going back!
