I had the pleasure of enjoying several meals prepared by Suthern Delicious, and each one was bursting with flavor. Every dish was beautifully crafted and wonderfully presented.Chef Keena thoughtfully orchestrated each meal, entree, fruit platters and desserts with such passion and grace. Her top-notch skill was evident in the creative use of fresh ingredients and her delicious handmade sauces. I would absolutely recommend booking her to cater your next event.

I loved chef Keenas food! She elevated simple dishes with thoughtfully chosen ingredients. When I thought I was getting a basic sandwich she created a cranberry mayo that just worked. I was a little spectacle at first but her food has a way of speaking for itself. With every dish, I could tell that she is genuinely passionate about the food that she is preparing. I was very pleased with each dish that she made. I would definitely recommend her to others!

Southern Delicious catered our Dominion brunch and we were very pleased. The food was delicious, hot and made fresh from scratch. We are having another one soon and the guests are already requesting her shrimp and grits and fresh biscuits.
