The server, Beth, did a great job of serving and keeping empty plates and glasses removed. By all means, try the bacon-wrapped apricot bites! They are wonderfully delicious! The mini-tacos and sandwiches were delicious, too. The lemon squares and white chocolate chip cookies are so good they disappear fast! I'm told that they sell the cookie dough for the cookies in their stores so you can enjoy them at home.

And don't even get me started on how perfect it looks when it's fully spread. Brought it out for friends and caught myself smiling the whole night like an idiot.

Kathy is incredible. I found her on Instagram after recently moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area…read more She's very accommodating and is creating a custom board for an upcoming business retreat. For Mother's Day I ordered a brunch board which was filled with delicious goodies, the waffles were a huge hit! So excited to see The lunch and charcuterie boards that we have coming next. I wish I took a photo of our brunch board but we dug into it before I could take a picture.

Welcome to Valencia, Spain on a Friday night in Richardson, Texas!…read more I recently stumbled upon a group of folks doing authentic Paella in a cooking class format for Mom and I to go to and learn! Mom is taking a little break from international travel this year and I am committed to showing her experiences in our backyard that will still gear her up for her travels when she's ready! Next year, we are all headed to Spain! Including Valencia, the HOME of paella! What does that mean? It means, nothing but great food, wonderful views and learning about Spain's history along the way! When I found this cooking class, I knew it would further ignite my passion for wanting to be as involved in the culture of Spain as I could be. We met Chef Adan and his wife & Chef Hector who ran the show all night. I truly didn't know how talented they were until class began. What I didn't know at the time of booking this was the fact that we would be learning from one of the best Paella Chef's in the WORLD! Chef Adan is not only a fantastic instructor but in 2022 took home the Concurs Internacional de Paella Valenciana de Sueca Competition earning him the title of ONE of 60 international Chefs in the oldest paella competition in the WORLD.

If you have ever wondered what the food in Spain tastes like without going to Spain, here's your…read morechance to find out. Chef Adan, his wife Yasmin, and his team welcome you in like friends & family into a space that may as well be their home. There you will learn about the art of making paella while helping put together tapas that are enjoyed while the paella is cooking. You learn about different olive oils, the process to make them, how they are used and the best part, you get to taste them as well. This is not a very hands on cooking class, but come with your appetite as it is an eating experience! We also got sangria and a special treat of watching a flamenco performance. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend this as a girls night out, a date night, or just wanting to do something different.

Throughout the years, many companies have tried to make them but there are none quite like the original. If you haven't tried them or don't know what they are, then order them right now! You will not be disappointed. The owners are fantastic and do their best to accommodate special requests. The desserts are insanely good. Especially their lemon bars and hello Berthas. If you have a special event coming up, don't think. Call and order some Doozies and Desserts.

From the beginning, Chef Cassondra demonstrated not only professionalism but also heartfelt care and a deep commitment to making the evening unforgettable. We had a diverse group of guests, including both vegetarians and meat lovers, and Chef Cassondra thoughtfully curated a menu that catered beautifully to both. The food was absolutely delicious--every dish was flavorful, fresh, and artfully presented. There was more than enough to go around, and we even had leftovers that we served at brunch the next morning for our out-of-town guests. Chef Cassondra truly went above and beyond. Her attention to detail, flexibility, and gracious spirit helped create a warm and memorable atmosphere. Perfect Chef. Perfect Meal. Perfect Event. We are so grateful for her role in making this special day even more extraordinary. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Cassondra for any occasion where excellence and heart matter.

Amazing food and service!…read more Annie was super easy to work with. The food was delicious, and guests loved her homemade spice blend. Not overpowering of the food at all, and had a perfect balance! I also appreciated that it was healthier version of these dishes, using cleaner ingredients and not drowning in a layer of oil. She was able to customize dishes and also uses halal meat, for those looking for that. We've ordered samosas, Shammi kebob, chicken/beef biryani and chicken tikka masala and have loved every dish. We're huge fans of Biryani Box and will use for all my Indian/Pakistani catering needs! Pic is of her chicken biryani and raita. Unfortunately missing pics of other items and people inhaled it all before I could grab pics!

I love, love, love them. Ed and his team do an "Amazing" job. We have worked with Ed for the past…read morethree years. They help plan your menu if you want, come up with ideas that are not on their many menus to choose from or suggest items that are new and trending for your parties. They can accommodate all your unique requests and provide servers, bartenders and even glassware when you need more, even at the very last minute. In the last two months, I think we've worked with them 4 times with every situation requiring a completely different menu and set up from an office breakfast retirement party to holiday brunch at the house for 30 people to a casual drop off catering for a small party with friends to a full scale holiday party for executives. Ed has helped plan, coordinate, arrange people, checked in prior for last minute needs and followed up afterwards to see how it went. What have been some our fav items this season? Omelet bar. Definite yes. Missy with Amazing Caterers was wonderful as well for this. Request her if you can. On appetizers, go for the coconut shrimp as they are pretty, have a mango salsa and are a must have. You may need to order extras of this, as it's the first thing to go for sure. The tenderloin and turkey sliders are a great, heavier appetizer that is easy to eat while also filling for when you are also serving cocktails (and you can get the coleslaw on the side if you don't want them pre-made with it), served with horseradish pickles which are soooo yum. The tenderloin crostini were really good as well. Highly recommend. Then, the assorted desserts are awesome, especially those freaking cake balls I ate four of in like 30 minutes. Was that caramel inside? Goodness. Daniel was very attentive at our last party too. If he even heard us say something to each other (i.e., running out of ice), he was all over it. Thanks again Ed to you and your team. We'll be calling you again!

Amazing Caterers RUINED what should've been the best day of my life. Ed Brant and Chad do NOT CARE…read moreabout you as an individual or person...and even less about the food they serve to you and your guests. Once they receive all of their money for the event they are catering, they are like a ghost...until the night before that is...trying to sneakily change the menu and serve subpar food...They recently catered my wedding on 7/9/16 and brought an ENTIRELY different menu than what my husband and I were fed multiple times, including my mother-in-law. We have pictures. A lot of people didn't eat the mostly cold food that was served at our wedding, my husband and I were amongst them. But according to Chad "...everyone had fun, so why are you upset?". Um, that's not the point Chad...they ONLY had fun because I personally arranged the entertainment. That had NOTHING to do with the food Sir, seriously....and Mashed potatoes in martini glasses....really?!? I SPECIFICALLY asked Ed how they'd stay warm..."Oh I've got it, I've got it...", riiiight! That's why i saw multiple trash baskets FULL of cold, stale, boxed Idaho mashed potatoes in martini glasses....ok. I had 3 jobs at one point to pay for this "Amazing Catering" alone! AT FIRST Ed wanted to make it right, but this is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME event....I let him know that "You cannot make up a WEDDING Sir!!!" He then became very RUDE and belligerent. He arged endlessly with my husband at our day-after wedding shower in front of everyone... then harassed us via text on our honeymoon over the next day or so. Now I have no refund as Mr. Ed Brandt promised on 7/10/16. As for Chad, he says he's not worried about "people like us"....what does THAT mean? Hard working, tax paying, Dallas individuals who don't take crap lying down when the wool was pulled over their eyes...I've never had ANY issue like this....EVER. I am a good, working, law abiding person. I have NEVER had anything like this happen in my 31 years. WOW, is all I can say! I DO NOT RECOMMEND them if you value your hard earned money, love food like we do, or want your guests to be able to actually eat the food you purchased. THIS WAS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING THAT WENT WRONG WITH OUR WEDDING DAY! GOOD LUCK
