Report
Day catered our breakfast and lunch for a film shoot in San Francisco. She takes the greatest care to make sure everyone's dietary meets were met, and that the food is delivered on time, hot and ready to serve. The food was great and such a value for the $$. She'll be my first call, always! Thank You Day!
