Ravenous Catering

Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dads out there! And happy Father’s Day too to the moms who took on both roles.
I’m sneaking in here as their social media manager and as Dave’s daughter (hi! and shhh, they don’t know I’m posting this) to brag about how amazing these two humans are. Over 20 years ago, Dave and Valarie met, two single parents who got each other from the start. They bonded over something they both knew well: how hard it is to fill both roles while being the only provider for kids who depend on you.
Out of that, and a shared love of food and hospitality, they built Ravenous Catering together. They put everything they had into it, and it grew into something they love as a team.
Everything we have today is because of these two. They worked their tails off, raised us as incredible single parents, and built the big, full family we are now. We just wanted to share a little piece of how much they mean to us.
And to every single parent reading this: we see how much you do, and you’re doing an amazing job.
Passing on our love of cooking to our grandkids is one of our favorite things in the world. 💚
