I cannot say enough about Abby. We had her make a crab bake for my family while we were on vacation. We have one person who has celiac one person who can't have dairy and two people who don't eat seafood. Therefore it was challenging. However, Abby did not skip a beat. Everything was beyond amazing not only did she make everybody an individual dish of their own personal crab bake. She also made hotdog for the people who did not want to eat seafood. She made her way around the kitchen, as if it were her own and cleaned up spotless before she left. All the food came out at the same time and piping hot. There were eight of us and every single one of us raved about Abby. We are already planning a meal for next year!
