Interview with Janis Hunt, Simply Delicious
How long have you been in the Special Event Industry? I have been in this business since 1989, and have done hotel and restaurant catering services, restaurant management, hotel sales and marketing, conference center sales and am now partnering with Chef Nancy McCulla at Simply Delicious Catering & Cafe Daily Fare
How did you get started in the Industry? I started as a cocktail waitress and bartender when I was in college. I fell in love with the business, finished my BS and then got a job as a manager in a hotel restaurant. Experience and training in the field was far superior (and more lucritive) than changing majors!!
What is your most memorable event? A lovely wedding at L’Auberge de Sedona on the Creekside Lawn…beatiful flowers and fragrance filled the air, the bride and groom were meant for each other and were so easy to deal with, all the food was perfect, the weather was perfect, no bugs and no issues…..they don’t happen like that too often.
What is the most requested food item? In Cafe Daily Fare, it’s gotta be the Fish Tacos….like none you’ve ever tasted. As far as Simply Delicious, that’s a tough one because every menu is so unique. Our Hors d’Oeuvre Platter consisting of Crackers, Baguettes, Grapes, Berries and a Duo of Tri-Color Pesto Pate and Marinated Goat Cheese with Grilled Balsamic Portabellos is pretty popular…..
What is one tip you can give brides? Relax…remember it’s YOUR day and you need to let the little things go sometimes. We can’t all have a Royal Wedding 🙂
Thank you Janis!!!
