Bless This Food Catering opens in Madison
MADISON — Bless This Food Catering has officially opened a new location here after a ribbon cutting last week.
The new location is off Highway 51 between Hokkaido Hibachi Grill and Refinery Salon.
The City of Madison held the ribbon cutting for Bless This Food last Wednesday and several city officials were present, including Fire Chief Derrick Layton, Janet Danks, assistant to the Mayor, Ward 6 Alderman Guy Bowering, and Ward 2 Alderman Pat Peeler.
Owner Teresa Sones said Mayor Mary Hawkins-Butler has been a Bless This Food customer for many years, and always asked if they could come to Madison.
“Mayor Mary told me, ‘we’ve got to get you guys in Madison,’” Sones said. “I looked around several years for a spot, and I finally found one here. My business started with Madison people, and we go to church at Madison Heights. A lot of the young mothers there did not want to cook supper, and I offered to cook for them. And it just went crazy from there.”
Bless This Food was established in 2008 in Flora and provides a variety of meals, cakes, and gourmet breads. They have locations in Flora, Pearl, and most recently, Madison.
The service specializes in pre-prepared meals such as poppyseed chicken and chicken spaghetti for busy people with tight schedules, or those who want a break from the kitchen. They handle catering needs for a number of functions including weddings, pharmaceutical lunches, baby showers, holiday dinners, and more.
Their menu includes a huge variety of dishes, including chicken and dumplings, lasagna, shrimp and grits, pulled pork, red beans and rice, poppy seed chicken, chicken spaghetti, chicken parmesan, chicken Alfredo, several types of homemade bread including sourdough, cinnamon rolls, banana bread, and more. Customers can also choose from a multitude of sweet dishes including iced cakes, pound cakes, cobblers, scones, cookies, brownies, and banana pudding.
Bless This Food is open from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday and closed on Sundays. During these hours, customers can not only request catering, but can also come in and buy pre-made dinners that feed a small group of 2-3 people, or large groups of up to 12.
Alderman Bowering said he is glad Bless This Food has come to Madison.
“Thank you for choosing Madison,” Bowering said. “The response has been great.”
The Bless This Food Catering is located at 1029 Hwy. 51 Suite F2 in Madison. For more information about Bless This Food Catering, call (601) 790-7151, or visit their website at www.blessthisfoodcatering.com.
