Sorry to hear that the VFW shot you down. There's a guy not too far from me to got setup selling que at a VFW on Friday's and Saturdays. He actually built an outdoor brick pit in the back of their parking lot. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had success approaching VFW's and how do you approach them? What do you say to them, whats the benefits to them for allowing you to cook on their property? I'm just curious because I'd like to do something on the weekends to try and make some extra money.

The Grange Hall is a go @ $20.00 per hour. Now for the bad news...I have to pay $347.00 for the inspection...and $697.00 per year for the permit! Dayum...this catering stuff is pricey...initially...
How does that compare to fees in your areas? JD

I should change the title of this thread to "Headache License"... Trying to find a catering kitchen that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is getting ridiculous. Most folks that I have talked with do not have a kitchen that is up to code and want me to pay for the certification...ain't happenin'! Most other folks are flaky as hell...they talk a good game but don't back it up with actions.
I'm just gonna stick with the personal chef / private catering for now...if something comes together for a kitchen then I'll start doing public gigs...

Thanks SoEzzy...most of those places want an arm and a leg for hourly use or a monthly contract of at least 800.00 per month. I'll plug along on my own for now...I have another plan of attack that I'm working on for next week.
