The Perfect Start...
A Note From The Chef...
We prepare each menu item especially for your perfect event.  Unlike
some, we do not use commercially packaged, frozen food that is sold
wholesale.  To do so would compromise our business as well as provide
a substandard product to our clients.  At  A Perfect Thyme, we have a
passion for food.  We love searching for delicious and distinctive
combinations of ingredients for our menu items.  We select these recipes
as carefully as we select the ingredients that go into them.  Accordingly,
all of our menu items are priced at the time of order using our
purveyors' best prices at that time.  This practice ensures you the
freshest food for your family and friends.  So browse through our
menus.  Use them as guides.  Our menu possibilities are limited only by
your imagination.
