It has been an action packed summer and a period of transition, both seasonally and personally. Having just celebrated my birthday about two weeks ago, I used this time to reflect on the blessings and challenges of the past year. To top it all off, I was invited by Candice Holloway, the owner of Soul Secrets Catering, to the End of Summer Pop Up brunch today as a thanks for leading a tour at Findlay Market during Cincy Music Festival weekend in July. This also turned out to be a late birthday present for me.
Soul Secrets Catering is a member of Findlay Kitchen, which is a non profit food business incubator where up and coming "foodtrepreneurs" are looking to start their own food business. 75% of those who use Findlay Kitchen are minority, female, and immigrant owned businesses, and they have access to commercial grade kitchen equipment and storage where they can test out their recipes in their quest to being a Findlay Market vendor, and ultimately, open their own full fledged brick and mortar restaurants and catering businesses.
Soul Secrets Catering specializes in way down home soul food and uses recipes passed down from their grandparents from as far back as 1925, and with my rave review and all others, there are no signs of this pillar of the community slowing down anytime soon. I ordered the peach cobbler french toast, grits, and sausage links, and Candice and her staff did not disappoint with this scrumptious spread! I am so inspired to make a fall themed breakfast inspired by my meal today, which will be coming in a future post. Kudos and blessings to Candice and her staff for putting their love and commitment to this meal and this community!
