Experience is the best teacher – these are words that Loretta Kelly took to heart. After a lifetime of travelling and working in restaurants around the country, Loretta was destined to be in the restaurant industry.
While living in Jonesboro, she became acquainted with social and business leaders who began to use her specialized services. She is continually researching recipes and reading publications in order to provide all facets of culinary delights.
“Through the perseverance and indomitable spirit of Loretta, she has improved her status from a waitress to the owner and manager of a thriving Restaurant and Catering service. Loretta and her daughter, Kathy, have catered numerous dinners and parties for us and we have always been well pleased with the food and service.”
-Mr. and Mrs. Minor Markle
