Freedom delayed, but never denied. Celebrating Juneteenth with OTB 💛❤️💚🖤

06/18/2026

We may have lost power, but we never lost momentum! ⚡🍽️

Last week, the city definitely put us to the test, but when the lights went out, we kept things moving. Huge shoutout to our generator for holding it down and helping us continue preparing orders until the power returned.

In catering, there are always unexpected challenges, but our commitment to serving our clients doesn’t take a day off. We’re grateful for the equipment, the team, and the determination that kept us going.

Our sliders are always a crowd favorite 🤍😏

Before the guests arrive and before the first plate is served, there’s prep.

The chopping, seasoning, organizing, and planning may not be the glamorous part, but it’s what makes a successful event possible.
