Wonderful service!
We had the best experience with Cuisine America. Mary Catherine and her team are extremely professional, and the food was delicious! We were thrilled by Cuisine America offerings' during our tasting, and the service during our reception was wonderful. We got so many compliments. We're also extremely thankful Cuisine America let us borrow some of the decor options they have available. I can't recommend Cuisine America enough! -

Mary Catherine is Amazing!!!
CA was absolutely incredible! The food at the tasting was finger licking good we just had to hire them as our caterer. Mary Catherine and her daughter and husband provide the best of the best in the catering business! They cook, plan and even help pick decor out. When you book, they allow you to pick out any decor you would like to use for your wedding day, free of charge! It was such a big selection and so many options to choose from. They set it all up for you as long as you tell them where. It was literally so nice to have them do it for you without spending thousands on a planner or the stress of doing it yourself! The guests loved the food and the chicken parm was our favorite! We also got the baked Alaska pollock and vegan options for a few of our guests! Thank you thank you and thank you for helping us, providing incredible service and your patience with us throughout the process. -

Fed like Family
Cuisine America will take care of you like you are their family! We borrowed decorations and signage from them free of charge. They also offer vintage miss match china which fit our theme perfectly. We received so many compliments on the food and the flatware. People really enjoyed the cocktail meatballs, spinach and cheese stuffed shells, and the goat cheese bruschetta. -

Highly Recommend Cuisine America!
My husband and I hired Cuisine America to cater our wedding this past May and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! Mary Catherine and her team were amazing throughout the entire process. As many of the other reviews have said, the food was absolutely delicious, but it was the care and attention to detail that MC showed us that made us book them on the spot at our tasting. From late night snacks and allergy limitations, to the long list of free decorative rentals, or even asking how we wanted our napkins folded, the team at Cuisine America helped us figure out every detail on our special day. Additionally, because they are a preferred vendor for our venue, The Haight, the entire day of our wedding was seamless as they worked directly with the venue so any stress about catering disappeared so we could enjoy ourselves to the fullest. Between the friendly staff, affordable prices, and wonderful food, we absolutely recommend Cuisine America to anyone looking for catering, especially for your wedding day! -

Rescheduled Wedding: 2020 Bride
Mary and her family and staff were great to work with for our wedding. We were affected by the pandemic in 2020, after two years of planning, and they were very accommodating and understanding what we and all couples were going through.
The food was amazing, the presentation was perfect, and all our guests were very happy!
I would defiantly recommend Cuisine America as it is very clear they care about their food and they care about their clients/couple.
Thank you! -

Excellent food, service, EVERYTHING!
We were so incredibly happy with our choice to book Cuisine America to cater our wedding. From the start, Mary Catherine was so kind, professional, and helpful, and was prompt answering any questions we had. The food was absolutely delicious - we had such a hard time choosing which foods we wanted after the tasting because everything we tried was amazing! We opted for a buffet style dinner and our guests raved about how much they enjoyed the food. Cuisine America also has a huge supply of wedding decor available for couples to borrow and we used many of these decorations for our wedding day. Mary Catherine took the time to pick out decorations with us and plan exactly where to set things up, and they took care of all the rest. Every single person on that team made us feel so well taken-care-of and helped make our wedding day perfect. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cuisine America to anyone looking for an above-and-beyond caterer for their wedding! -

Incredible food and group to work with!
Mary Catherine and her team are absolutely incredible! They are extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and easy to work with. We had a lot of people involved in the decision-making of our catering and Mary Catherine was so patient and helpful during the entire process. They also made postponing 3 times and editing our numbers down from 300+ to 50 such an easy shift. We had Cuisine America cater both our rehearsal and wedding and received many compliments on how amazing the food was! 100% recommend working with this incredible team. -

AMAZING Caterer to fit ALL your needs
Cuisine America was recommended to us through 2 different venue locations that we were looking at at the start of our wedding planning. We mentioned in the beginning that we wanted a taco bar at our reception, and Cuisine America was immediately the number one suggestion, we chose them right away. Mary Catherine was extremely helpful in helping us getting our vision across. It helped that she had worked with so many venues multiple times, too. You can tell they had so much experience with weddings that there was always something to recommend to help make our special day better for us. When discussing the dinner menu, Mary Catherine also provided a meal for 2 to taste-test everything before settling on the final dinner items and hors d'oeuvres.
Not only does Cuisine America provide the food, but they also provide the silverware and napkin settings. There are so many options for these as well that you're sure to meet your dinner vision! What we really loved and appreciated was that we were able to borrow decorations for our wedding FREE OF CHARGE. Because they have been helping weddings for years, they have accumulated decorations that other couples just simply don't need after their weddings. We were able to re-use a lot of items they had, and Mary Catherine helped coordinate our decorations with our wedding planner to get them set up for the night.
Mary Catherine and her team were amazing. MC was extremely flexible and so patient with us when our wedding had to be rescheduled due to the pandemic. We'd love to work with them again some day, even just to have their amazing food! I would definitely recommend Cuisine America to any couple who'd like to avoid the typical 'banquet hall' type of food and go a unique route for their wedding lunch or dinner!-

Hire CuisineAmerica!
Mary Catherine and her team are wonderful! The food was delicious. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the food! Mary Catherine also lets her clients borrow decorations for the night! She has everything you could possibly need - because of this, my decoration costs were minimal. Between amazing food and beautiful decorations, I don't know what else you could need! She responds quickly and allowed us to taste food until we picked the perfect menu for the night. They were also incredibly flexible with adjusting our needs to help our wedding meet covid requirements! You will not regret using CuisineAmerica! -

Excellent food and experience
Everyone needs to use Cuisine America for their wedding or event. MC was great to work with and they put my mind at ease for our whole wedding. We had the taco bar at our wedding and it was incredible. When we asked our friends and family how the wedding went, they always mentioned how good the food was.
The BEST part of using Cuisine America is all of the decorations that you could use, like table numbers, card boxes, candle votives, and signs. First, it saved me a lot of money not having to buy a million little things I will only use once. They have a TON of options. But most importantly it saved me so much stress. I didn’t have to worry about getting all of the decorations to the venue or running around/ ordering the little things. They came and set the decorations up and broke it all down at the end of the night. They were a HUGE part of me feeling stress free on my wedding day.
I had so many friends say that they wished they had gone with or known about this company for their own weddings. Cuisine America is what every bride should have on their wedding day. We couldn’t be more happy with the communications, the decorating, and how the day went.

Highly recommend!
We used Cuisine America for our wedding day and could not have been more pleased! Not only was the food delicious and served quickly, but Mary met with me multiple times to plan everything and offered helpful suggestions to make our wedding run smoothly! Her team was efficient and professional- my mom asked them to do one or two things before realizing they were already done! And, as an added bonus, she lends out her decor to brides so I didn't have to spend money on table numbers or giant picture frames I would never use again. Could not recommend more highly! We got married at the Brix on the Fox and they already knew everything about the venue which was also a great help! -

Delicious food, Delightful people
Cuisine America was so wonderful to work with for our wedding. One of my top wishes for my wedding (along with my husband’s) was good food, and they did not disappoint! Mary Catherine was essential in helping us figure out the schedule for our wedding day and finalizing menu decisions as well as other decisions. She is so knowledgable and helpful, I don’t think our wedding day would have been as smooth as it was without her - it was as if she was our unofficial wedding planner since we did not hire one. I am forever grateful for all the questions she asked and the insight she gave us as we sorted out the details of the night. The food was so delicious and perfect for our crowd (we did buffet style for the dinner, with family style salads and bread). From the time we had our first tasting, I couldn’t wait for the wedding day so I could eat their food again!
Another amazing thing about Cuisine America is that they have a large stock of wedding decor which they’ve collected over the years. It’s like their own personal Pinterest warehouse. Everything you could want as a bride: a large wooden arch, classic cute signs, a variety of styles of table numbers, vases, fake flowers, card boxes, candle sticks, lanterns, window and picture frames, fun lights, and much more. All you do is pick out the things you would like, and they bring them for no extra charge. Now that is amazing. No last minute (and expensive!) trips to the craft store!
Highly recommend Cuisine America. Whether you looking for simple or extravagant, they are the catering company for you! -

Can’t beat the food or quality of service
We got SO many compliments on our wedding food. Not only was it HOT but taste was phenomenal. We had a roast chicken dish with vegetables and potatoes that was better than my grandmas (don’t tell her I said that!). The bbq pulled pork was better than if it came from a bbq joint, and the salads, homemade bread, homemade croutons, homemade dressings, everything was phenomenal. Multiple people said best wedding food they’ve ever had.
Not only is the food great but Mary Catherine is so professional and on top of it. The venue, photographer, and DJ all asked me who our caterer was, and every time I said Cuisine America they all nodded and said “Mary Catherine runs a tight ship,” which is so comforting!
We got mini desserts as well instead of a cake, and those got a boatload of compliments too! Best chocolate mousse I’ve ever had, the cheesecake was spot on, and my cousin said the lemon bars were so good she shoved 7 in her purse.
Last of all, the warehouse of decorations they provide free of charge not only saved us hundreds of dollars, but also the stress of finding, collecting, packing, and setting up a multitude of signs, centerpieces etc!
Basically, we love them. Thanks for everything! -

Amazing catering company!
Highly recommend this catering company/staff for all your wedding needs! They truly were amazing and so so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process and day! I had ALOT of candles (approx. 175) and they lit every single one for me! They also have a large selection of decor items you can rent free of charge when booking with them which is SO helpful for brides when they are spending so much money already! Their food was amazing!! We did a buffet and had two stations which helped make things run very smoothly and people got their food very quickly. HIGHLY recommend them!! -

More than just a catering service!
Cuisine American was so much more than just our wedding caterers! Mary Catherine was so helpful during the whole planning process. I liked that she was able to use her years of experience to provide helpful advice on what would work best for our venue, set-up and guests...from table layout, seating chart, dessert table, etc. She also has TONS of wedding decor that she's collected through the years that she allows her clients to use at no additional cost and will even bring it to the venue, set it up for you and take everything away at the end of the night! I can't explain how much time and money this saved us! We received multiple compliments on the food, especially the tacos and guac! We would recommend Cuisine America to anyone in search of a caterer/wedding organizer because they truly do more than just provide food for your guests! Thank you again for a great experience! -

Best wedding reception caterer EVER!!
5++ stars for Cuisine America!! Our daughter was married on June 15,2019 and we were fortunate to have Cuisine America as the caterer. From our first interaction months before the wedding to the reception, the owners and staff were professional, flexible and gave their personal attention to every detail. Mary Catherine provided good advice regarding the plan and flow for the reception and was available and willing to answer any questions quickly. Our daughter and her fiancé were so impressed and felt at ease; they had NO worries at all through the whole process. We cannot say enough about Cuisine America.
Jaime, their daughter, was on site for the reception and is a true professional that exuded such calm!! She had everything under control and her staff were polite, attentive and met all our needs. The venue was made even more beautiful by their attention to detail setting up the tables etc. They even set up our appetizers, cake and dessert with their own equipment beautifully so we didn’t have to lift a finger! Everything was better than we could have hoped!
The food was so delicious and flavorful and our guests raved (and still are raving!) about it. The buffet was expertly and elegantly displayed and there was plenty of delicious food! And the homemade bread---unbelievable!! At the end of the evening, Jaime had everything packed and ready for us to take home.
This family owned and operated business is truly a gem and we hope to have another opportunity to use them in the future—Thank you so very much for making our daughter’s wedding such a wonderful
and memorable day. Highest praise!!!! Judy E.

Incredible food with great service!
Working with Mary Catherine and the staff at Cuisine America was amazing! The food is out of this world, and we received endless compliments from our guests. Mary Catherine helped us personalize every detail, and went above and beyond to make our meal perfect. She accommodated all special dietary requests and helped us choose selections that would appeal to everyone. They hosted us for multiple tastings, offered us use of their numerous decor options, and made sure each table looked impeccable for our reception! The wait staff was very attentive, incredibly polite, and worked quickly to take care of all of our guests throughout the entire evening. We are so glad to have Mary Catherine, Jim, and staff ensure that our dinner was flawless, and that our guests were well fed! -

Cuisine America goes above and beyond with their catering. Their food is so amazing, they have many props to borrow, and Mary made sure that I had a drink in my hand the entire night of my wedding to stay hydrated. During the buffet they served my husband and I at our seats so we didnt need to get up and they took care of us the entire night. I have never seen this before at a wedding where people were SO taken care of. We felt better than we do when we visit restaurants. Their service stood out so much to us at our wedding that my husband and I made several comments to eachother about how great their service was. We highly highly recommend! Also Mary is one of the nicest people we have ever met. -

This vendor was worth every penny and then some! Cuisine America allowed us access to their rentals to help with decorating our venue space, and Mary Catherine has an incredibly impressive haul to accommodate all tastes! She is very well prepared to discuss and make recommendations to arrange your venue and help with a timeline and coordination, and her husband's skills in the kitchen are equally profound. We had an offbeat wedding menu which Cuisine America deliciously prepared (we received endless compliments). We actually had a taste testing and one dish was unable to be prepared in time for the testing, so Cuisine America had us come back at another time to pick it up and we were surprised to find entire trays prepared that could feed an army. The company even prepared take home trays for us after our wedding that we were able to bring home to enjoy. All of the company's staff are well trained, professional, and are able to accommodate even the most detail oriented of brides. -

Aside from searching for a venue, searching for a caterer was the most daunting task for our wedding. Luckily, Cuisine America is one of the preferred vendors at our venue and we are so fortunate we went with them. First, the food was AMAZING. We did family style and our guests were thrilled with the variety and the flavor of everything. Mary Catherine and Jim were incredibly accommodating and helped tailor a menu to fit our theme: craft beer. They helped us with suggestions and were great taking our requests. We even got to take our leftovers home and we're still enjoying them and they're still amazing! Mary Catherine and Jim are very thorough and want to ensure that the menu is perfect so we had multiple tastings until everything was exactly how we wanted it.
Not only are these lovely people to work with, the food is incredible, the value is incredible, they have decor they allow you to borrow for free.
Thank you Cuisine America for making our wedding the best it could be!! -

My husband and I hired Cuisine America as our caterer for our September 2017 wedding. I cannot say enough good things about the service they provided and the execution of the food for our wedding day. Mary Catherine is fantastic not only because of the caterer aspect, but because she has a room full of decor that she allows her couples to use for their wedding day free of charge. She was more than willing to work within our budget and was so patient with us when we were trying to plan the wedding from out-of-state. Her husband, Jim, takes care of the food preparation and he does a great job. He was even willing to sit down with us and tweaked the alfredo sauce to our liking. Our guests complimented the food during and after the wedding. We did a buffet style dinner with 150 guests and it took no longer than 15 minutes for all of our guests to have a plate full of food, which was great. We requested to take the leftover food home with us and they boxed everything up for us to take which was much appreciated! Thank-you Cuisine America for everything you did to make our wedding day so perfect, we cannot thank-you enough for your amazing food, service, and decor. I highly recommend their services!! -

Cuisine America was so accomodating throughout our entire wedding planning process. We met them at an open house that our venue had. They're food is delicious! Every single food item that we tried was good. Whenever you have a question , they are very quick to respond. Also, they were very flexible, and willing to work with us to make sure we stayed in budget. They set up a private tasting for you. Also, they provide decor for you to borrow! It was perfect! Our wedding meal was delicious!! Everything from the appetizers to the main course to the desert. All of our guests were raving about our food. I am so happy we booked Cuisine America for our wedding! -

Mary Catherine was such a delight to work with. We sat with her for an initial tasting and left with tons of food. The day of the wedding every one left so full and very satisfied with their meals. Not to mention, Mary Catherine also allowed us to borrow a ton of her event decorations for no charge and even brought them to the venue for us. Her event staff was on top of their game and communicated with us throughout the entire night. Very pleased with their services and affordability! -

Cuisine America is incredible! We worked with them from start to finish on planning our wedding. From helping us select a venue, to planning specific details, to the delicious and plentiful food served at the wedding, everything about working with Mary Catherine and Jim was wonderful. The staff on the day of the wedding was great, and Mary Catherine made sure that all things catering went off without a hitch and helped make our wedding look beautiful. Best of all, they were realistic about what we wanted while also being incredibly kind and supportive. Simply put, they made what everyone said would be a stressful process very easy. -

My wedding would not have been the same without Mary Catherine - she helped pull everything together. When you are faced with so many choices and decisions in planning your wedding, she helped keep us on track with all the details. She has so much experience in planning events, if you do not know what you are doing, she will guide you in the right direction. She arranged for the place settings, table linens, and chair covers - and our wedding colors looked beautiful in the reception space. She will let you borrow items if you need them too, she had stands for the table numbers and candles to line the window ledges that we used. She also went above and beyond and helped save us money on our ceremony chair rental. As far as the food, that was really great too. Jim is very flexible in how the food is prepared, if you have special requests, he can accommodate them. We went to 2 tastings before our event, which are helpful because there is such a large variety of entree, side, salad, vegetable, and bread choices. The vegetarian lasagna was excellent and I wish I had leftovers, I would eat it every day for a month! The service staff during the event was very responsive and professional as well. I had a great experience with Cuisine America and would strongly recommend them. -

I have only positive things to say about working with Mary Catherine and the whole Cuisine America Team. From the first contact to eating the plates her staff made for my husband and I to take home, the whole experience has been fabulous. It was definitely worth a couple trips out to Elgin from Chicago to meet Mary Catherine in person, do a tasting, and work out the details. She had so many great ideas and her ample experience in wedding catering and planning help me sort out some of my own details that I was stuck on (menu for each person vs. one per table, favor ideas, etc). Now on to the food. The food was delicious, which my husband and I knew it would be. We loved the food we tried at the tasting and the Cuisine America chef worked with us to help develop a unique menu. All of my guests, the DJ, the photographer, and the venue staff came up to me to tell me that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. If you pick Cuisine America, you will not be disappointed, from start to finish working with them was a dream. -

Cuisine America was great! We had a tasting of the food to see how it was and the quality and deliciousness blew us away. Mary Catherine and her husband were fantastic to work with. They were flexible, accommodating, and gave us a lot of great suggestions. You can tell they have had a lot of experience. They were extremely professional and did their best to make sure that everything ran smoothly - and it did! Everyone was raving about how fluid the whole night ran. This would not have been possible without Mary Catherine and the Cuisine America staff. They were able to answer every one of our questions and/or concerns and they helped us think about situations that we didn't even know could arise. We had around 140 people at the wedding and we decided to do family style salad/homemade dressings/homemade breads, and then an entree buffet. We were a little skeptical at first about how it would go since all of the buffets that we've ever been to take a long time to get through...but Cuisine America had everyone through within 15-20 minutes!! The event could not have been better. We would highly recommend Cuisine America to everyone!! -

Cuisine America did a wonderful job on my wedding day. The food was wonderful and my guests were extremely happy with everything. My caterer also helped me find my florist and she gave me wonderful suggestions on how to deal with the stress of planning a wedding. -

Perfect! Having Mary Catherine help with my wedding was a dream. She mostly went through my mother in law since she was handling the food cost, but she was such a help! The business was phenomenal because it's basically like your own menu. My husband and I got what we both wanted and the food was delicious. The fact we were able to sample whatever we desired was great because my husband and I are picky. Food is a big thing at the wedding and she made it a breeze. She even lets you borrow items from her at no cost! It saved a lot of money on centerpieces. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Someday if I ever need an event catered I will come to Cusine America. Such a friendly and professional business. -

Working with Mary Catherine for our reception was a dream! She really knew her stuff and I felt safe letting her run the show on our big day. The food was huge portions and the guests raved about how good the food was! She did everything I requested for the design and layout of the rooms and tables, and made everything so beautiful. Working with Cuisine America could not have been better for us! -

Professional, experienced, and well-organized
Cuisine America is a godsend! We were so lucky to have Mary and her team be part of our most special day. We had a buffet style wedding, and we were so glad we did. From our first tasting to the wedding reception, Mary and her team were professional, experienced, and well-organized. They were so accepting of us as an LGBT couple. Their hard work translated to an event and a food menu and service that we will never forget.
Food was a BIG priority for our wedding, and Cuisine America BROUGHT IT ALL! Mary is flexible and helpful with our requests. She was so accommodating to even create a ethnic dish for our menu. The food was delicious, memorable, and satisfying. Their steak is the best wedding steak we’ve ever had! Her crew is professional and organized. All of the guests were so happy. Compliments kept coming even after the wedding. In addition to food, Mary has accumulated an amazing inventory of wedding decorations that will be available to your venue. Mary helps you make your vision for your reception happen. She plans meticulously, and executes them well. Cleaning up was a breeze too. We highly recommend Cuisine America. She and her team are well sought out, and they will not disappoint! -

Great choice for Catering
The catering did a great job making sure we had everything we wanted. They also supplied all the decorations for the venue for no additional cost! I didn’t have to worry or think about the catering on my wedding day and everything was taken care of for an affordable price. -

Mary Catherine and her staff were very professional and reliable. They took care of place cards, favors and all decor except the flowers. The room looked just beautiful. The food was very good, and we had several people tell us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. We had a brunch with lots of choices, including broccoli cheddar quiche, roast sirloin of beef and homemade breads. The chef carved a gorgeous watermelon bowl and filled it with fresh berries. The staff were very efficient and not intrusive. The cost was very reasonable for the quality and variety of food. -

As we began plans for our daughter's May, 2014 wedding, like everyone else I started asking friends, family-everyone-for recommendations. When it came to catering, Cuisine America was the ONLY name I kept hearing over and over. I first met with Mary Catherine myself, as well as calling several other places... It was immediately clear to me that Cuisine America would be one of my choices. It was not my wedding, however, so I returned to see Mary Catherine with my daughter and son-in-law. She, once again, took time to explain so many things to us all. The three of us came away from that meeting with a deposit down and a feeling of certainty. A few months later, after the tasting, we knew we had made the right choice-Jim is an amazing chef !
She gave us many options for pricing-things we could do to save us money, things she had available that would not need to be rented. I appreciated her honesty, flexibility, and concern for our budget. As time went on, we ended up having cuisine America cater both the wedding as well as the rehearsal dinner! In both cases the food was scrumptious, with tons left over-no one went away hungry. I want the reader to know that Cuisine America is professional, amazing at what they do, and to be trusted. I had not one concern during the entire rehearsal and wedding day-I didn't even go check on the kitchen, so certain was I that things were being handled! And indeed they were. Every single guest we spoke to-and I am not exaggerating-mentioned how delicious the food was!
I will whole heartedly recommend CA (and already have!) to any and all, and will use them again if we ever ended a caterer! -

The food provided by this vendor was delicious and they gave a decent price. We got a lot of compliments on the food at our wedding. Mary Catherine went above and beyond, such as providing extra tastings to make sure we got what we wanted and she also helped provide decorations for our special day. The only complaint we have is they did not serve the meal we asked for because they left off ingredients that we wanted on the chicken dish. Overall, they provided a great service and I would recommend them. -

The food was GREAT
The food was really, REALLY good. So many of our guests commented on fighting over the potatoes. We had steak, roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, and julienne vegetables. The service was also great, they made the entire reception flow smoothly and without a hitch. -

Our guest raved about the food! Mary Catherine and Jim did a wonderful job. They were very generous (which can be hard to find with wedding vendors) with time and resources. Their staff was very professional. Mary Catherine handled coordinating our tent, chairs, and linens which was very helpful and everything was beautiful! After the event my parents got plenty of leftovers and used them to feed friends and family that helped during the wedding week! 3 words. Bacon. Wrapped. Dates. !!! -

Food was great along with service, but was upset about leftovers. They put the salad and dressing in a bad together so when we got home from our wedding it was so soggy and we had to throw away three bags!!! Also they did not include gratuity so on the night of my wedding my parents were scrambling trying to find money next time they should tell people! -

They can cook amazing food! Anything they make is delicious! Their servers for the event were top-notch. Some of the frantic feelings in planning could have been avoided if they responded to calls or e-mails better. Trust them in terms of their recommendations for your cake vendor; but plan time to make your own centerpieces. -

Let me start by saying the food was great, and day of service was good. My major issues with Cuisine America came in all of the planning stages. There would be long stretches when I wouldn't hear anything. Sometimes they were on vacation and had left no indication on the voice mail or email that they would be gone for more than 3 days. When I did hear back there would be no progress. We had some major communication breakdown. The chef was looking for us to give him specific recipes and we were looking for him to put a 'meal' together for us. We were stuck in this loop for about 2 and a half months. We lived in Oregon at the time and it was often hard to get a hold of someone within Cuisine America. I would set clear expectations when working with Cuisine America. If you do you will be satisfied, if not, you'll most likely end up like me, satisfied in the end, but miserable in the process. -
