My goodness this food is great. Its a diamond in the rough. I fear the location isnt the best for this style food though. It might do better to relocate to Polaris area. Maybe inside the food court. ...

J Gumbo of Delaware is my go to caterer when we have a big event. Last night Richard provided food for our 50 hungry volunteer ghosts from our GhostWalk event at Boardman Arts Park. The food was delicious with lots of variety for every dietary need. So easy to work with he and his team, and it was perfect!
