Questions from Shelbyville 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.

Can you do a block party in Shelbyville?

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

What do you need from me?

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