Here is what our customers are saying...
 

"The 2007 Peck wild mushroom conference where I spoke was an overall great success. Brenda Palmer and her staff of Standing Stone Catering  provided the meals for the several-day-long event. Everyone I talked to believed it was the best food the conference has had in thirty years. I felt the meals were one of the sweet highlights of the event. We were all especially impressed with her green beans and Hen of the Woods mushroom creation - as the loud applause from the dining hall confirmed. A number of attendees have contacted me and asked how they could get her recipe. We are all looking forward to enjoying her kitchen talents at the next conference."

Quotes from Clients:
 
"It was so nice to have Brenda cook at our pre-season dock party. From the stripped-bass cut into a mellon, to the oysters on the half shell, it was so much more than I could of done myself. My guests loved watching her burn sugar on the creme brulees. It was wonderful being able to enjoy my own party. We'll definately have her back again."

 “Brenda prepared amazing gourmet meals (for up to 200 people) at the weddings of several family members. She also cooked at our summer camp Stone Mountain Adventures and these teenagers loved her food! Not only is Brenda able to cook, she is also able to design menus for any occasion. Brenda will be the person I call for our next event!”

Pam Hayes-Houldin

 
"Professionally, it is my responsibility to host groups that are undergoing strategic planning, or convening for the purpose of affecting public policy. Brenda has been a tremendous resource when providing these groups with a meal. She is adept at serving stand up food for a large group, or is able to prepare and serve a complete meal to the same. The quality of her food is impeccable. Everything is individulaly prepared with no short cuts. This in turn provides the group with an enhanced dining experience.
Again, it is her professional manner, and appropriateness that make working with her such a pleasure. She is willing to please, understands the job at hand and is willing to adjust her skills to making the best presentation possible.
 
Her understanding of that which is appropriate is a skill that is hard to quantify. There are times when formality is called for, times that are less formal. She is very perceptive in this regard and adjusts her serves and menu accordingly."

"Two years ago Brenda started cooking for our clients, now some of the clients are asking if she'll be there when they schedule their trip. We hired her because we no longer  had time to cook for our clients, but she's turned into more than that, Chef Bren is now an asset to the company."
