A couple of things though:
*When using the PC name you have to include the ® (hold the Alt key and type 0174)
*We're not allowed to use the "discover the chef..." tag line
*The website at the bottom is missing a d
I would also consider adding something about the other services you can provide: Bridal Showers, Wedding Registries, Fundraisers etc. I do like the "Ask me..." part though.
