The Slow Foods

You all ask "Dave, How Much is this going to be"

My answer is always the same "What's your BUDGET"

Each of your parties and event's I do is so verydifferent. It is yours - not mine!

"In over 5 years I have yet to figure out a per person/plate price"

You have a vision, reason for your party and theme in mind. I will do my best to help you come up with the menu, equipment and level of service to meet all of that and more.

No Budget ? No problem -Look below for some helpful thoughts & facts.
