2 Guys Caterers Chef Kelvin Lewis

Meet Chef Kelvin Lewis. What started as a job in 1996 while attending college for computer science sparked an inner passion in me. Having worked in Italian and French restaurants in the Washington, D.C. metro area for 6 years, I decided to return to South Florida for family in 2002. It was at that time that I knew computers were no longer for me. After attending Florida Culinary Institute for a degree in culinary arts, I began 2 Guys Caterers. Starting a business and building a reputation is never easy. Thus for several years I also worked for Hollywood Christian school, Health Nuts Cafe, Salad Creations and Caviar & More/Marky's. In 2009 I incorporated the business and made catering my full time job. I don't take myself too seriously just the food I make and the service I provide. I also love the look of pleasure that crosses the face when the food is great, the service spectacular and their guests can't stop talking about how great the party is.

Curries and More Curries and More Boca Raton

The word curry is universally used for any recipe consisting of vegetables, fish, chicken and/or meat, seasoned with various herbs and condiments which give the characteristic flavor and taste and enhance texture. It probably originated from Tamil [Regional Indian Language] word kari meaning a blend of spices cooked with vegetables. It Is believed that the 18th century British General Clive, when in south India, added meat and water to the kari, thus making a sauce of turmeric and other strong spices. This apparently was the genesis of madras Curry.
