On October 17th 2022, I ordered 350 pieces of fried chicken to be picked up on October 22nd at 10am. The chicken was for a church event that day. The cost was $350.00. I received four boxes all together. As I begin to unpack the boxes, I noticed that two boxes were very hot and fresh and the other two boxes felt hot on the outside but the chicken was hard and looked old and tasted old, like it had been cooked the night before. They didn't even have a divider between the layers of chicken like the fresh chicken did. Now, I am a caterer and i know fresh from old. I have called and spoken to the manager twice. She has not called me back to resolve this problem.
