The Plannerz Place Eatery

06/10/2026

🤎 From family recipes to feeding the community.

We’re honored to see our co-owner and chef, Tonya Essick, featured in the Akron Beacon Journal’s Local Flavor at Home dining section.

Behind every tray of mac & cheese, every Soul Bowl, and every meal served at Plannerz Place is a woman who has dedicated her life to bringing people together through food, fellowship, and love.

This recognition is a reflection of the passion, consistency, and care she pours into every dish.

Congratulations, Chef Tonya. We couldn’t be more proud. ✨

Drop some love for Chef Tonya in the comments! 👇🏾🤎
