Wanda Lous Kitchen And Catering

Hello my name is Andrea Reagor, owner of Wanda’s Kitchen and Catering! My company has been established since 2012! Although I have prepared meals since the age of 15, it was not exactly my first love! I’m sure age, and my mother being a single mum having to work and provide for my brothers and Myself, kept me in the kitchen more than I would have loved!

Fast forward! My Grandmother, Wanda Lou Reagor was a chef, caterer and cook for 60 + years! She was The cook in our school district for 40 of those years, in which she prepared the absolute best rolls you could sink your teeth into! She also catered the WISD galas for 10 plus years with the help of her family (including myself)! My grandmother was my mentor, my teacher, and my chef! I absolutely admired her and the love she would put into her food! After her passing, 4 months after my son was born in 2010, I thought I would never pick up another utensil again! However, times got really hard for me after my son was born because I had to stay in the hospital 4 months after giving birth! I had just got released from the hospital before her passing! After my release, I went back to work and was faced with a demotion and 9 hours a week! I didn’t know how I would make it with a new born and little to no income! My mother had the bright idea for me to sell plates! I was a bit reluctant at first, but I was facing eviction from my home, needed essentials for my new born, and food for myself and my niece (in which I took on custodial responsibilities for since 2 months of age)

I then faulted on my promise and picked my utensils back up again! This changed my life! Now I wasn’t just cooking to help, I was cooking to make my grandmother proud! As the years progressed, so did my business! It was slow in the beginning, however, time brought change and growth! Each minute, every hour, day and year that passed, I started to understand what it meant to cook with love! Now I’m Tapped in And ready to explore!

Everything that my grandmother instilled in me I make sure I utilize so that my clients get a piece of her spirit in the experience! So I named my business after her and she us the face and the star of this show!

In this exploration and almost 13 years plus experience, I have learned much and constantly creating, perfecting what I see as ART! I pay attention to the details!

My grandmother taught me that you eat with your eyes first! “Baby if it like good, it just might taste even better!” I took/take this saying and run with it! From the foods preparation, plating, buffet style set ups, from the decor, to even coordinating with clients themes and color scheme! Definition is always in the Details!

I take so much pride in my preparation and the art of delicious cuisines! I contemplate and brain storm on different recipes and new tasty dishes! So much so, that I was given the opportunity to showcase some of these cuisines in NOW magazine in my home town! This was a huge highlight and one of the best days in my life!

Unfortunately, with so many scammers and unpolished caterers, clients cash sometimes be skeptical of booking! This is very understandable but has also caused business to slow down a tad! Which brings me here! Soliciting my business in hopes to gain new clients, so that I can give them the most Wandaful experience!

We offer buffet style serving, sit and serve, gluten free and vegan options, allergen friendly preparations! We are indeed licensed and insured as not only does the state require for caterers to be able to prepare, but most venues require the same!

We do travel and we have high recommendations from reputable clients! I can now say that I ABSOLUTELY love what I do and I pour this love onto my food!

In search of a catering company that takes pride in their work, look no further! We are here to make your event WANDAFUL
