Our History

I started in the food industry in 1970 cooking and managing my way through the business. After a few years of owning a restaurant in Water Street Pavilion with my Arizona Business Partner Doylan Forney 'Doylans Diner in the Palms' I decided to go into consulting and catering. In 1985 I formed the corporation 'Gastronomic by Dantz LTD' a consulting firm to bring businesses to the Flint Michigan area. We closed the diner in 1987 one year after the birth of my oldest daughter Megan Brittany and I focused on consulting. Starting in 2001 after a visits to France, Monaco, and later to Germany, and Belgium  I legally formed the 'Okatering Company'  in Flint, MI.  In 2004 I moved the company to Grand Blanc, MI and created a multi-year plan to become US regional during 2010 and global in 2012 with availability in Europe in affiliation with Grille Masters Cafe.  In 2002 my youngest  daughter Ashley Brooke was named Vice-President and future of the company.
