Questions from St. James hosts
What if the weather turns in St. James?
A garage or a pavilion will do; a pontoon canopy won't. We watch the radar with you, and lightning means we wait or reschedule.
Should we tip?
Up to you. It's not built into the price.
Our group in St. James is pretty big.
Large parties get a second chef and grill so supper comes out at about the same time for everyone.
Do you cook in winter?
On a mild day in an open garage, yes. The grill never goes in a closed space, so January is usually out.
What do we set out?
Tables, chairs, plates and silverware. A cooler of pop and beer never hurts. The chef brings the rest.
How long is the chef there?
About ninety minutes on the grill, plus setup before and a cleanup of the cooking area after.
