Hosts in Ina ask

Is a city backyard big enough?

If a grill and a picnic table fit, it's big enough. Level ground or concrete about ten by ten is the whole requirement.

How do I pay?

Zelle for the $50 deposit, due 72 hours before the party, and it comes off the bill. Cash or Zelle for the rest on the day. No cards.

How long does the whole thing take?

Figure an hour and a half on the grill. Setup happens before you eat, and the chef wipes down the cooking spot before leaving.

Do I tip the chef?

If you want to. It isn't built into the price.

What can people order?

Pick from chicken, steak, shrimp, scallops, salmon or vegetable tofu. Want filet? Add $5. Lobster tail? Add $10.

What if it storms in Ina?

An open garage or a tent with open sides keeps things going. Lightning means we wait, or we pick a new date with you.
