Kathy Mangham is taking her talents on the road. Mangham, the owner and chef of local catering service Gourmet Girls, is partnering with Hayden Phares of Zeeland Street Market and starting a new mobile food service called Pronto.
The truck will be parked in front of Gourmet Girls at 3025 Perkins Road Wednesdays-Fridays starting at 11 a.m., and serving until food sells out for now, Mangham says. However, if she sees a demand, she plans to expand the hours in the future.
“A lot of people come and knock on the door [of the catering business] and want to know who I am, what I’m doing and want to buy food,” she says. “This provides a way for those people who are not using catering services often to get my food.”
