What an AMAZING and wonderful experience with Chef Shan/Grass & Leaves Catering!!! For work events, I got the Banana Pudding, Wings, and a Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Icing. Needless to say, ALL items were a hit with me and non-vegans!! The personalization that Chef Shan puts into each item is genuine and intentional. The flavors are on point and authentic. I will consistently use Chef Shans services and I highly recommend G&L Catering for family and work events and everything else in between!!!!!

When I tell you, the fried oysters are my absolute favorite ! Tastes better than most chicken spots in the DMV. Daphanie brought southern vegan spice to the east coast

The food is full of flavor! Many different options to choose from, my favorites were the Rasta Pasta and the vegan scallops with pasta! Love the the feeling of having food that is healthy and good for your soul. Her desserts are very good too! Definitely recommend. Use her for your next catering event you won't be disappointed!!!
