The key to maintaining high quality menus is using choice meats and fresh ingredients. The Grand Gourmet has chosen a chef that understands what it takes to meet and exceed our client's expectations.
Our chef, Sheena Castellanos, graduated with honors from the Art Institute of Atlanta. Her specialties include but are not limited to those of the refined Floribbean cuisine and Hispanic-American foods as well as good ole southern home style cooking.
We have served thousands of satisfied guests and their patrons. The Grand Gourmet continues to provide the ultimate dining experience, from intimate gatherings to large-scale events, all with the same attention to detail, consistency, and taste.
We look forward to serving you,
Executive Chef
