I gave a cost per head and he created a wonderful menu...everyone raved about the spice pork tenderloin, the garlicy grilled beef and the desserts. It was a pleasure working with Chef Jerry and meeting his lovely wife. Both wearing masks and being very safe. We will use Chef Jerry again and people have already asked for his contact.

Our event was early on a Saturday, which means dude has to have been up wild early making our stuff. He arrived 20min. before the guests were slated to arrive so the food would be piping hot. He had everything unloaded, staged and was out the door within 15. He delivered on every level, and we will for sure hire him for our next events. Thank you again, Jerry!

They were slightly drenched to keep the food warm, clisp and delicious. Bit of more expensive for turkey leg. But cant blame them when they were only ones at this fair with turkey legs.

For years I been experience the dredded lack of supply at other festivals so was very excited and happy they still provided enough to sell at shawnee days.

Along with a very nice salad and delicious dressings, baked potato casserole, mac and cheese, and hickory baked beans. Everyone loved the food and kept asking who the caterer was. Also had some appetizers that everyone loved too! They were gone so quick, everyone must have been hungry. Had a fruit platter, sausage and crackers platter and cheese platter. Woody the owner is so nice and helpful. I also picked up 2 sides on Tuesday for Christmas!! (See pics, they were in a huge aluminum pan but I scooped some out to put in containers to give to someone else.) Their employees did a great job, they were all young but good work ethic. It was put well together and they were friendly. We definitely will be going back for future events/gatherings!! Thanks for a great wedding!!

First off, I can't really trust someone who advertises tacos as "carne asada" and then, when serving them, calls them "beef." There's no authentic flavor in these bad boys. I tried to salvage the experience by ordering chips and salsa, but the chips were terribly stale and I had to ask for a refund on them. I hope that they are able to make right these recipes because right now, they're not going to get my business making food that has no flavor. I also didn't appreciate the hand on the shoulder and comment from the man who delivered our food. I'm sure he thought it was harmless, but as a woman, I don't need your comments, nor your hand on my shoulder when you're just bringing me my food.

The five-course meal, crafted by a remarkably talented chef using a variety of techniques from their farm, was beautifully executed in a surreal indoor-outdoor setting. Every dish was spectacular, and the beverage pairings were creative and perfectly curated.

Our guests from Leawood, Kansas said they would gladly make the drive back anytime to experience another one of these magical culinary evenings.

We arrived on the farm (after our Ford GPS took us a wonky route along a few miles of dirt road--so make sure you stay on paved roads and you won't have trouble--I was told by Kristin, our host and one of the owners, that Google Maps has no problem). I have to share our experience in detail because I feel we discovered a new must-visit experience in the KC area! We arrived at the 30-acre farm, parked in the field, and were greeted by our server who welcomed us warmly and offered us an arrival cocktail to sip while we explored the truly lovely grounds, pond, and nearby goats. After our leisurely stroll, we returned to the dining pavilion and found our seats at the gorgeous (and massive!) live-edge dining table along with a menu specifically for this weekend. Our gracious host Kristen and server brought out our first drink pairing, a minted lime seltzer that was refreshing and light. Our first course arrived--Blue Jade cornbread with arugula, sweet pea salad, and chicken liver paté. The cornbread was unlike any I had before and was absolutely delicious. The sweet pea salad was literally bursting with flavor the peas were so fresh and the chicken liver paté out of this world. Such an interesting flavor profile and combination. The next beverage pairing arrived a short time later as we enjoyed the perfect evening, a blackberry purple basil shrub. This drink was also delicious and refreshing (and save that blackberry for last--what a treat!). The Mangalista pig, we were told, is the "wagyu of pork" and the crisp, tasty, marbled pork chop was excellent. It was served with a beet "kimchi" with fennel root and a sheep cheese dumpling that was creamy and flavorful. Finally, our coffees were served and a dessert of yellow squash cake, lemon honey ice cream with mulberry compote was brought to us. Again, the dish was original, delicious, and a perfect ending to our meal. We can't wait to come back and have try a new menu in the future. Such a perfect evening and the chef has such an exciting vision for hyper-local farm-to-table flavors and dishes.

I rate them as No. 1 in my book. They were my go to for everything and it was the smart and perfect chose. I live in Miami, FL., I had to plan my daughter's wedding from Miami in Kansas City. With the help of Marvin and Deborah Williams from Shining Star Catering, they made it all possible for me to do. The food was so flavorful, everyone was commenting on how great the food was (we had Italian). The staff was just as amazing and accommodating. The venue was a dream come true. Most of my communication was done via email, but Marvin and Deborah made the vision come true. He made himself available at all times, Marvin even stayed around the day of the wedding to guide me. That was a weight off my shoulders, because I did not have a wedding planner. That's what you call amazing service.

Deb was energetic and excited to hear about the shower and what I had in mind for food. She offered a TON of choices (I wanted bite-sized finger food)...cold, hot & desserts. It all sounded so good, we had a hard time making choices. She was great with communication and the contract for services was really clear and laid out all of the pricing in detail so I never had a question as to how much I'd be paying. She also had everything I needed like tablecloths, glasses, silverware, napkins. I had a wonderful and extremely helpful on-site server, Julie, during the shower as well. The food was a tasty and delicious as it sounded. We had tea sandwiches, scones w/berry butter, brie & cranberry tarts, mini cupcakes, mini beef wellingtons (YUMM!), salmon canapes, gruyere puffs, and chocolate covered strawberries. I'm so glad I had Deb and her team to help me put this shower together. I will definitely be giving her a call for my next event!
