I asked Chef Jess to help in hosting a dinner party for my friends and I as we wanted to have a…read morewell planned dinner but didn't want the hassle of going out. After a quick call I relaxed and realized I wouldn't even have to lift a finger. We had personalized menus with the listing for the evenings fare. We celebrated with champagne as we prepared for the food to be laid out. Raspberry almond salad topped with bacon that I couldn't get enough of. Garlic whipped potatoes which were just the right consistency to accompany the main course Creamy chicken Marsala that I had to get two helpings of because I couldn't get enough & I don't even like mushrooms. SN: Make sure you plan for an extra person just in case you want some to keep at home because I sure did Chef Jess is a great personal chef and I would recommend her to anyone who needs anything from a dinner to an entire experience planned.

It's unfortunate that I have to report that a year after a positive engagement with Jess Let It…read moreSimmer, I contracted a PTSO sponsored back to school luncheon for the hard working faculty & staff at our local high school and could have been more disappointed and frustrated having been left in a very difficult position. After thoughtful planning, detailing menu, logistics and payment I learned less than 24 hours before the caterer wasn't prepared with the drinks she committed to in the contract and I had to quickly prioritize run to Walmart and purchase drinks at my own expense to make sure our teachers and support staff had drinks with their meal. Although that left me anxious for the event the following morning I remained optimistic that things would work out. And Jess Let It Simmer arrived in a beat up sedan with 1/3 of the boxed lunches promised and an anemic supply of agreed to vegetarian options - ultimately food for 75 or less after paying for a lunch for 250. Not only was the supply dreadfully short, it was not up to the standard expectations. Thanks to some responsive local pizzerias, we managed to salvage the luncheon at the expense of the PTSO this time, no thanks to Jess Let It Simmer. Although being very embarrassed and frustrated for putting my trust in Jess Let It Simmer, I appreciated the fact that within the next few days, she engaged the PTSO president and myself to apologize for the obvious disaster of an event and committed to make good in a future event. With recognition that we are all entitled to making mistakes, and given her taking accountability for her actions we agreed to consider ways to reconcile. And with that hedge toward forgiveness, we are again left disappointed as we have heard nothing back and had to accept this incredibly sub-optimal and expensive botched luncheon. While we want to be sympathetic to others situation it was important for any potential client to understand our experience and proceed into engagement with great caution!!!!

Nibbles is KILLING ME in the best way possible. We all have to die at some point, right? So it…read moremight as well be by over stuffing yourself with the deliciousness that is Nibbles' baked goods. I just cannot get enough of it. I've been stopping by Robin's booth in Atherton Mill and Market for the past couple of weeks since I've moved to Charlotte, and she has single-handedly made the move worth it. Her quiches, pumpkin bread, cookies, granola, etc... are the best way to start your Saturdays. The only downside is that everything looks and tastes so good that it's impossible to choose. But I'll help you out: THE QUICHE. I just need to take a moment to delve into how amazing her food is. The quiche has this amazing texture that I can't even describe. But I will. It's both light and fluffy, but also creamy in a sense. Maybe it's sorcery? I don't know. The cheddar and broccoli will make you feel so good. The tomato and spinach has a fantastic bite to it; the tomatoes burst with flavor. Her sweet breads are ridiculously moist and flavorful. This morning I tried the pumpkin bread and literally couldn't leave the parking lot because it's amazing-ness incapacitated me. If you don't see any reviews after this, it's because I actually never left. Her prices are very reasonable for delicious, home-baked goods. The quiches are 6 inch pies (I think. I've never been good with estimating stuff) and $5. Personally, it's more than enough for me for breakfast. Everything else is just a few dollars or so. Unfortunately, I'm not fancy enough to be able to afford her Personal Chef services, but if they're anything like her bakery items, I can promise you they're worth it! And if I do ever become fancy enough to hire her, I'll invite all of you to my quiche party. OMGGGG THE QUICHEEEEEE! If you end up going and falling in love with them, I charge a 1 quiche discovery fee. Pay up.

I didn't realize that I needed to look for "The City Kitch" instead of Boujee Soul Food, but I figured it out after going in and asking around. It's a great concept. Several eateries share the same location. Once you arrive, you scan the barcode on a hanging sign, select which eatery you ordered from, and someone from your eatery will come from the back with your food. You can also order when you arrive. Fortunately, I ordered in advance so I didn't have much of a wait. There are a few seats inside if you'd like to eat there, but on a Saturday afternoon like yesterday, it's best to take your food and go. There were lots of people in that space just standing around, waiting for orders from different places. My husband and I both thought the wontons were the biggest hit of the day. Fresh, hot, delicious. We both could've eaten more of them. The unique spin on the deviled eggs was interesting. I love fresh deviled eggs as-is. The fried take on them wasn't my preference, but they were still good and I ate a few. My husband doesn't like standard deviled eggs at all, but he absolutely loved the fried deviled eggs here. We had high hopes for the oxtail sliders, but the meat didn't taste like oxtails. It wasn't seasoned. I envisioned Caribbean Hut oxtail meat on a slider, but it didn't taste anything like that. The coleslaw was delicious and the slider bread was super fresh. All in all, the majority of items we ordered were fantastic, and I'll check them out again in the future.
