MAIL DEPT. . . . to Grace
Crowl at Taste of Seasons on
Northwestern Highway .. .
"For the 45 years of our mar-
riage, Mrs. Meyers has been
cooking and making the
seder dinner for Passover.
This year I insisted that we
have the food brought in so as
to save her some work. I now
take credit for making one of
the two best decisions of my
life. The other good decision
was choosing Taste of Seasons
and having Grace Crowl do
the coking and baking. I could
go over each item of food one
by one but we would only be
redundant.
Suffice it to say that
everything was delicious.
Besides the great food, the
service, packaging, delivery
and appearance were superb.
Our entire family has done
nothing but praise the
delightful results of our seder
dinner. Needless to say, our
family and social get-
togethers will be catered by
Grace Crowl in the future."
Very Sincere and Thankful,
Irving and Faye Meyers
