Behind every dish Rice Lady serves is a woman named Wella. She was my grandmother, my mother, and my greatest teacher. She raised me and my siblings with love, strength, and the most incredible food I have ever tasted.
In 2021 I lost her — and in that same year I found my purpose. I started Rice Lady Catering to keep her spirit alive, to honor her hands, her recipes, and the love she poured into every meal.
Every time I step into a kitchen I carry her with me. This business isn’t just my dream — it is her legacy living on in every single plate I serve.
This one’s for you Wella. 🙏🏽❤️
At The Rice Lady Catering, the kitchen isn’t just where the work happens — it’s where history is honored. With 30 years of experience I specialize in Afro-Latino fusion that marries deep-rooted tradition with modern farm-to-table techniques. Let fresh seasonal ingredients speak for themselves — the result is a vibrant polished plate that is as much a conversation piece as it is a meal.
Whether catering an elegant wedding, corporate conference, or exclusive events like See You At The Bank — we are dedicated to nourishing both the body and the community. Bold artisan flavors that make every celebration an unforgettable chapter in your story.
