Questions we answer every week

We are a catering kitchen in Plano, not a restaurant, so there is no dine-in and no walk-in service. You can pick up your order at our commercial kitchen in Plano: the address and pickup time come with your order confirmation. Or choose delivery when you order online.

In our online store: pick chicken or pork, a half dozen ($30) or a dozen ($60), delivery or pickup, and today or a date ahead, then pay online. See the order page.

Order the dozens you need in the same online store, chicken or pork, for delivery or pickup on the day you choose. Questions? Call or text (469) 888-8398.

The kitchen runs Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM, and is closed Sunday, Monday and Thursday. Calls and texts are answered during kitchen hours.
