Custom Catering Clients
"Thank you for the special lunch…You not only made delicious food, but your attention to detail did not go unnoticed."
Roy Williams, Former Head Basketball Coach, UNC
“My son and daughter-in-law had a “Celebration of Life” at their home for the family. It was so special because it was casual, and everyone could relax and reminisce. The ZCC team prepared the food and took a personal interest in everyone. So much nicer than a restaurant, where others are close by and you would never be able to visit in private for five hours. Thank you, ZCC!”
“Celebration of Life” Client
“Zacki and her team catered our small October wedding reception. She was very flexible and accommodating of our concerns about making all of the dishes as Covid-safe as possible. She even individually plated the most beautiful mini-charcuterie boards for our guests. The entrées (one vegetarian and one meat-based) were also delicious. Thank you!”
Wedding Client
“I contacted four different caterers and Zacki replied promptly and was by far was the best communicator with the most creative suggestions for our specific needs. I highly recommend ZCC for any catering event."
Bridesmaids Luncheon Client
“I am a doctor undergoing chemotherapy treatment and I was overwhelmed. I explored the options and learned about personal chefs who are more flexible with custom menu options and timing than restaurants. Having had a father who was a doctor, Zacki had enough medical knowledge to understand what I needed, and why I should avoid certain foods. The meals were attractive, delicious, healthy and well-balanced. Thank you, Zacki!”
