Chef Gwen and her staff catered my birthday party, and it couldnt have been more scrumptious. She was very easy to work with from the start until after the party was over, cleaning up after herself and leaving plenty of leftovers with containers for the guests to fill and take home. She has her own event planner that matched the party theme with the serving line decorations and the coctail table. She served the following:

Cocktail Hour - Summer themed appetizers such as mango, peach & pineapple salsa w/cinnamon chips, spicy watermelon, Ceviche w/tortilla chips, shrimp kabobs w/lemon aioli, fresh fruit w/dip, fresh summer vegetable tray with dressing, bacon jalapeño wraps, barbeque meatballs, tangy almond chicken kabobs.

Dinner - Salad bar, Lemon herb chicken, stuffed flounder filets, roast beef slices w/horseradish, beef kabobs served with pesto pasta, roasted potatoes, asparagus roll ups, squash dish, Jalapeño cornbread and yeast rolls, and the list goes on. Gwen is delightful and warm as is her staff, Shema, Trey, Francis, to name a few. We will definitely use her in the future. If you need an event catered, we highly recommend Gwen, 910-992-2001.

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I give my quote according to the client's request. When the client contacts me I find out a few things: 1) What is your vision? food & drink? full service ( waitstaff, Passed hors d'oeuvres)? budget? I take this into consideration along with my time, number of people that I need to hire as well as whether or not they have a kitchen available to prepare their menu onsite.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I became interested in Culinary Arts as a cook in the military. I was on the Culinary Arts Team in Ft. Hood in 1983-1984 & in Massweiler, Germany 1985 - 1987. I completed Culinary Arts School in 2015 & have maintained my food handling & sanitation certifications.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked all types of customers. Doctors, corporate, brides & grooms, medical diets, sororities, indoors & outdoors.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?

Consider all that goes into making your event successful whether big or small.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?

What can I afford (budget)?

Does the caterer do tasting? Is there a charge?

Is the pro willing to travel? How far? Is there a charge?
