“I consider myself to be a pretty serious foodie. Friends and colleagues come to me every week for restaurant recommendations in DC. This year I traveled to London, Paris, and Istanbul for work and other parts of Europe for vacation. And I can say definitively that the meal that Alexis catered at my friend Jeff’s engagement party was the best I had all year. And that was before I found out that it was all sourced from local farmers! Enjoying amazing food with friends while at the same time minimizing my carbon footprint?!? I don’t think I can ask for anything more than that. Thank you so much, Alexis!” – Matthew Spivack
