Okay… I think I found another thing I really love doing. 🥹

I’ve been doing more food business consulting lately, and I have found these sessions SO rewarding.

After 20 years in the food & hospitality industry, I’ve realized just how many different seats I’ve sat in: service, chef, entrepreneur, consumer, marketing, sales, catering, operations and actually building a business from the ground up.

Now I get to use ALL of that experience to help other food entrepreneurs build theirs. 🩵

With my coaching clients, we meet biweekly to:

✨ Get clear on the vision
✨ Set SMART goals
✨ Figure out the process
✨ Create systems
✨ Work through real business decisions
✨ Set goals and actually follow up on them

And most importantly, you get access to 20 years of real industry experience while we figure out what makes sense for YOUR business.

I’m currently accepting a few additional food entrepreneurs for 6 months of complimentary coaching.

After this round, coaching will become a paid service, but I plan to keep it accessible for small food businesses.

So whether you have a catering company, food product, pop-up, restaurant concept, private chef business, bakery, food truck or an idea you’re finally ready to turn into something real…

Hit me up. Let’s build. 💙

I’m really enjoying this chapter.

Sometimes I wonder if I should’ve named this business “No Limit Catering,” because there’s really no limit to what we can cook up for y’all 😂

Boxed lunches, loaded nacho bars, family-style spreads, plated dinners… picked up, dropped off, or fully served. From fried chicken to lamb chops, beef bourguignon to jerk chicken, Southern favorites to Spanish flavors… we do a little bit of everything over here!

That’s one of my favorite parts of what I do: creating food and an experience that fits YOU. Whatever the occasion, it’s all made with so much love. 🫶🏽

Take a little scroll through what’s been cooking in Patria’s Kitchen! And before y’all come for the chips in the nacho bar picture , they weren’t fried yet. We fry them fresh! 😂

Got something coming up? Let’s talk about what we can make for you. ❤️

Thank you to culture • community • care for having True Catering at the Village Row, Free Farmers Market! It was such a beautiful community experience, and it was a pleasure to provide lunch made with love. I’m sorry to anyone who missed it, y’all cleared us OUT & FAST!

I don’t always broadcast the ways I give back, but this opportunity came from someone seeing a post and realizing I could be a resource. I would love to connect with more nonprofits and community organizations whose missions are close to my heart, especially those supporting women, children, young women, Black-owned ventures, and purpose-driven community work.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to do something like this again soon. 💛
