Renee Beazer Charles, Administrator

At Cornbread & Caviar Caterers, I am primarily in the back office handling the day to day calls, e-mails, client accounts, and statements. Sometimes I may even be out at a client's function where we are providing our catering services.

It's nice to see how the people respond to the food and our service staff. I look forward to those afternoons or evenings out since the dining experience is such an important part of special events that revolve around close friends and family. I love sharing and contributing to their growth, diversity, and undeniable enthusiasm for bringing their culinary talents to people of all backgrounds. I must say that I am also a fan of the food at Cornbread & Caviar from their restaurant years, and didn't mind spreading the word about all the meals I enjoyed.
