This month I’d like to recognize my dear friend, entrepreneur, mother, chef, and overall kickass woman Jody Newman, owner of The Friendly Spot Ice House.
She is a hardworking individual and The Friendly Spot has become a staple in the heart of Southtown. Grab a cold one when you’re in the area & enjoy a fresh outdoor atmosphere at her bar.
You are exactly where you are meant to be, and you are in exceptional hands.
Tim the Girl Catering has evolved into The Curated Plate, guided by the vision and leadership of Chef Adesuwa Elaiho, award winning chef and founder of Asukar. This transition marks a new chapter, one rooted in growth, refinement, and a deeper commitment to excellence.
We are honored to welcome you into what comes next.
At The Curated Plate, we believe every gathering is more than an event. It is a story waiting to be told.
Through thoughtful composition, intentional design, and elevated hospitality, we create culinary experiences that reflect you, your vision, your guests, and the moments you want to remember. Each menu becomes a dialogue between culture, seasonality, and artistry, executed with precision and presented with purpose.
