Common questions in Mattoon
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 can people order?
Pick from chicken, steak, shrimp, scallops, salmon or vegetable tofu. Want filet? Add $5. Lobster tail? Add $10.
When does the outdoor season run?
Usually April through October. Later than that, plan on a tent and dress warm.
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.
Do I tip the chef?
If you want to. It isn't built into the price.
Can you do a block party in Mattoon?
Yes, if the block is cleared for it. Large parties get a second chef and grill so everybody eats around the same time.
