Twelve Years for Two Chicks (and a Pot) Info and Advice on Pulling off Simple to Supreme Soirées By Shawna L. Lucas, Publisher

ongevity is not a word typically used to describe much in the food services industry, and truth be told, Beth Hazley – of Two Chicks and a Pot – never expected to be in it in the first place. “I started as a network engineer,” she said of her first job out of college. As her career changed and morphed, she found herself working in that engineering role for a food-services company that had a test kitchen right next to her office. Eventually, she was spending more time in the kitchen than she was behind the screen, and her love for food preparation, cooking and presenting was borne. Still, she had to earn a living to help support her kids. After a corporate career in marketing that ended at Cisco some two decades later, Hazley finally took the entrepreneurial leap in 2008 and created Two Chicks and a Pot. The hometown company has been catering celebrations ever since, growing a steady base of corporate and individual clients.
