Our Story

Grandma's Recipes,
Modern Soul

Christy started cooking for the neighborhood out of her home kitchen in 2009 with nothing but her grandmother's handwritten recipe book and a cast-iron skillet that had been in the family for four decades.

What began as Sunday suppers for 20 soon became Metro Detroit's most sought-after catering experience. Today, Kennedy Collection's team brings that same warmth, flavor, and love to events of every size.

"Every plate we serve is a piece of our family's story. We cook like you're coming home." β€” Christy Mae Johnson
