Questions from Medinah hosts

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.

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.

What do you need from me?

A flat outdoor spot, tables, chairs, plates and forks. The chef handles the cooking end completely.

Can you do a graduation party in Medinah?

Yes. Graduation weekends fill up early, so book as soon as you have the date.

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.

What can people order?

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