About Judy's Creation
Meet Juliet!
My name is Juliet Hunter. I’m the owner of Judy’s Creation Catering, Tallahassee, Fl. I’m a mother of three and a grandmother of one.
At an early age, my mother, Judy, taught me the basic fundamentals of cooking. She would have me watching and assisting her in the kitchen prepping dinner for my father and brothers. The highlight would be watching her make gravy, cornbread and biscuits from scratch. Becoming a preteen, my mother would leave a daily chore list for my brother and I to do while she and my father were at work. I’ve always found my main chore to be in the kitchen to cook a meal consisting of a protein, rice, vegetables, and cornbread (from scratch).
I named the business after my mom. She enjoyed cooking, but not just for the household, for extended family and friends. She taught me at an early age how to prepare a meal from scratch and the importance of putting your heart into every dish.
Christmas, December of 2020, my daughters Chantavia and Chalesa had a heart-to-heart talk with me about selling “Sunday” dinners and possibly starting a catering business. My brothers, Robert and Roderick joined in the talk and encouraged me. I told them “No one is going to buy my plates.” In March 2021, I prepared a “Sunday” dinner which consisted of oxtails, rice, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, cornbread, and signature lemonade. My daughter Chalesa, who’s currently the social media manager of Judy’s creation, advertised on social media. Within 2 hours of advertising, I sold out. I was speechless, but nervous at the same time.
Currently, the menus (appetizers, lunch, dinner) consist of Southern soul food items ranging from salmon croquettes, chicken salad to flavored wings, smothered pork chops, and baked turkey wings.
My daughters, brothers, cousin Katrina, and close friends are the driving force behind Judy’s Creation. Their ongoing encouraging words and how God continues to exceed my expectations on this journey keeps me grounded.
Judy’s Creation is more than Juliet, it’s all of Judy’s Creation.
