I have started writing this so many times and ther I have started writing this so many times and there is just no perfect way to say it. So, I'm just going to do it and be brief. After 15 years in business, FIG is closing our doors permanently. I know that other caterers will make different decisions and survive this, but with the tremendous hit we've already taken and the uncertainty of the future I just cannot financially or mentally do it. It is a heart-wrenching decision and one that I wish didn't happen in this manner. I want to THANK Justin Hall for starting this wild ride with me, all of our employees and staff (your the ones that made FIG special), the producers and farmers that we tried so hard to honor in everything we created, the venues and vendors that we worked with so closely, and, of course, all of our clients who gave us such great times and memories. There are way too many people to tag, but please know that I love all of you and wish you well through this trying time. I will try to look at and respond to comments, but I know that's going so difficult so bear with me if it takes a while. (I was also looking for the perfect photo, but settled for this throwback shot of Justin & I when we were just babies.)
