This past weekend we had a busy Saturday. By busy we mean we had 4 different events in one day. Talk about having a jam-packed weekend. Preparing for an event takes planning, and time. We had to finalize all cooking, pack all materials into storage bins, and put everything into the trailers that were going straight to the events. Our day started early, around 7am and did not finish till around 2am the following day. There were 5 employees working on preparing the packages and it seemed that we were running around like headless chickens making sure we didn’t forget anything. “Did you pack the oil?” “Wait.. I think I did but I’m not sure anymore.” That means rummaging through another 3-4 boxes to make sure that oil is packed and ready to go.
After being in this business for 20 years, we know what works and what does not. Its second nature to us. We create our own designs and decorations, all which must be perfectly planned and developed during this process as well. The hours before the event are crucial to making sure that the event goes smoothly. Even with lists, it is still possible that we forget certain things. But because of great teamwork, we have been able to manage all bumps in the road these past 20 years. I mean, a family owned business is nothing without family and friends that support us. Our tribe has evolved over these 20 years, but the essence of who we are has remained the same. We welcome challenges, such as getting through 4 events in one day, and we do it as a family. We support one another and we work towards making sure that all of our events reflect our passion for cooking and our unity as family.
In welcoming the new year, we are grateful for the blessings and the struggles we have had to endure. Because of them, we continue to strive for excellence in our cooking, our service, and our creativity. We do this because of you. We are excited for 2020 and the exciting projects we have in store. We hope that you will follow along on this journey with us.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
