Chef Glenda Goodness
The ORIGINAL Gumbo Queen
Upper Echelon
The Upper Echelon of Food Service, Private Culinary & Party Planning Services
Definition of Echelon
[ esh-uh-lon ]
noun
A level of worthiness, achievement, or reputation.
The vision of Chef Glenda Goodness originated with a passion for cooking instilled by her grandmother, Mama Bunny. Mama Bunny was a natural healer born and raised with a strong Native American presence and Creole heritage. She lit the first fire for Chef Glenda, inspiring her to cook soulfully with a country style filled with love and good intentions. This passion grew into an exploration of new foods, with a flare for scents and tastes. As well as how to serve food with love, no matter who is seated across from you.
This motivated Chef Glenda Goodness to find a way to cook for others as well as serve a purpose, such as pain relief, calamity and just plain enjoyment and relaxation. During her prestigious 17yr career in culinary arts, she birthed a successful gumbo & creole delivery service, private cannabis cuisine and an upscale catering and events company. Therefore specialty menus for delicate diets are always welcome, i.e. severe allergens, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, diabetic, cannabis, cbd, etc. You can indulge in every bite knowing that you will be fulfilled from the belly to the brim, with exactly what you need and none of what you don't!
With Love and Wishes of Success & Full Bellies,
......Chef Glenda Goodness.......

“I wanted my mother's birthday to be special, from a custom theme down to the menu, and thanks to Chef Glenda Goodness, and Upper Echelon Events, it certainly was. All I had to do was supply a list of guests and mention our specific requests and the rest was taken care of! Thanks Glenda and all the girls involved, you're the BEST!”

“Our wedding night turned out so beautifully thanks to Upper Echelon and the Chef's amazing team! I still look back at the photos and cry tears of happiness knowing the disaster it could have been if I wouldn't have found them. What could have been such a stressful day was handled with such careful attention down to every detail and guest. We loved working with Chef Glenda Goodness and would happily do it again.”
Terry & Sandy W.
“We hired Upper Echelon to take care of our son’s graduation party because he never wants parties, so we didn't know where to start. And what an Upper Echelon luxury style event it was! This was absolutely the best decision we could have possibly made. The event turned out perfect thanks to Glenda's Goodness, and it was a pure joy working with them all.”
