Hosts in Effingham 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.

Can you do a block party in Effingham?

Yes, if the block is cleared for it. Large parties get a second chef and grill so everybody eats around the same time.

When does the outdoor season run?

Usually April through October. Later than that, plan on a tent and dress warm.

What can people order?

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

What do you need from me?

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

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.
