TST is amazing! We have hired them several years to cater a very important event. They are easy to work with, responsive, and so incredibly nice! This year was no different. For the first time we chose their Pork Loin meal to serve. I cannot tell you the amount of compliments we received! I even had a 77 year old woman tell me that somehow, they made it taste exactly how her mother used to make it!
She was in tears when she told me that it was the first time in years she was able to eat a meal similar to her mother's. What a wonderful feeling! Support this business. You will NOT be disappointed that you did!
