“Absolutely love this place! The food is out of this world, sourcing local ingredients for every meal. I’m also gluten-free, and they always have options for me and it feels like such a treat. As a busy mom, this is my go to and we love not only the take-home meals, but the grocery store items as well.“
“The team at Food Experience are always prompt, professional, and amazing to work with. Our venue always enjoys having Food Experience on our 80- acre Christmas tree farm to provide catering services for our Brides and Grooms. I happily recommend their service.“

“My new favorite lunch spot in town. So delicious. Great prices. Wildly friendly staff. I had their Pilgrim sandwich a few weeks ago and couldn’t stop thinking about it. Today I got a half Prairie and a cup of their chicken, potato, and green onion soup. So, so, good! Tasty, local bread. The top round and shrooms were perfectly cooked and seasoned. That charred chili oil blew me away. Soup was enviably good and I wanted a couple bites of everything on display in their prepared foods case. You want to know this place, I promise! ??“
“100% the best decision for our wedding caterers. Although I went in looking for just a wedding caterer, the team of Jan, Anne, and Joseph gave me so much more than that. I can't stay enough good things about Chef Anne. I am Indian and my husband is American. We wanted to have a fusion style meal which reflected both our cultures. I had some ideas of dishes in mind but not a full menu planned. Other caterers asked me to write down a full menu because "it seemed like I already knew everything". Anne approached our conversation differently though. She understood that I was looking for an iterative conversation and suggested some custom dishes. There was one dish concept that I knew I wanted on the menu (butter chicken skewers) but it was just an idea. There was no recipe or clear instructions for it - just our conversations. That said, when we went for our tasting, it was exactly what I had in mind! I was so impressed by Anne's understand of the multiple cuisines. She understood how different spices work in the Indian cuisine which can actually be quite complex. Her meals weren't overwhelmingly spiced with garam masala. Her matar paneer reminded me of home! And the fusion she created on stuffed tomatoes (bharela tamatar) was such a huge hit! I can go on and on about her wonderful cooking but let me wrap up by saying she is not just an impressive chef but also an incredible baker (she made the best lavender lemon cake and macarons for our wedding dessert) and an artist. Have you seen her instagram? Her food looks so beautiful! :) Combine Anne's food with the personality of her wonderful husband Joseph and you have got a super couple here. Joseph was out officiant. I wrote out my entire ceremony and was looking for someone to basically MC the event. The $500+ costs of officiants did not make sense to me so I reached out to Jan for suggestions on cheaper officiants while explaining the situation. Enter Joseph. This man is incredible. He brings in so much personality. With what I had explained to Jan, he really did not need to do anything outside of MC ing the event. But, he went the extra mile to add his own personal touch to the event which made the event so memorable. Multiple people asked where we found our officiant. He stopped by after the ceremony to give one last piece of advice to me and my husband. Jan really understood what I was looking for when she connected me with Joseph.Now, let me talk about the magnificent Jan. I may run out of character space because there aren't enough good words I can say about this lady. Let me summarize by saying that she was like a mother to me with figuring out how to get the most of my budget. She helped with whatever issue. There were vendors that said to me "well we are not a budget company", but not Jan. Our budget wasn't super low but not too extravagant either. I told Jan what I had planned and that food was one of the most important parts. She then spent an hour on the phone with me helping me save money where no one would notice (like gold rims water goblets etc.) Not once did she make me feel stupid or silly. She was an excellent communicator and was with me from Day 1 to Day -1 (brunch) and I am so excited to treat her to coffee when I see her next.The three of them are simply fantastic. There were no left overs from dinner because people ate it all :) Numerous people asked for their card. From the indian fusion menu to the southern brunch. EVERYTHING was phenomenal.THANK YOU Anne, Joseph, and Jan for making our wedding ABSOLUTELY UNFORGETTABLE!“
“If I could give Kim and her crew 10 stars I would. We hired her for my daughter's wedding at the Vineyards at Betty's Creek in November. Her staff was amazing and so professional. Kim took total control when arriving at the venue and even compensated for our day of coordinator's lack of knowledge. We knew we were in great hands. Everything was perfect. The food was outstanding and guests were talking about it long after the wedding. Such a perfect experience. Don't look anywhere else.“
“Cielo Catering catered our wedding dessert and fruit spread and it was out of this world! Jordan was so easy to work with, and the dessert spread shown below was so wonderful. Our wedding guests are still raving about all of the desserts to this day!“
“I have a genuine fear in my life that one day there won't be any more Schlotzsky's in NC, and I won't know what to do with myself. Anytime I visit family in Asheville, I buy 4-5 sandwiches and take them back home with me, because I genuinely don't think there's a better sandwich on the planet.“
