Hey y'all!

This week's newsletter is a little different, and it's one I'd really love for you to take a few minutes to read.

We've got some big changes coming to Grateful Fed, and I've written a heartfelt letter sharing what those changes mean, why we're making them, and what I hope this next chapter will bring.

Change isn't always easy, especially when you've poured so much of your heart into something. But sometimes closing one door is exactly what makes room for new roots to grow.

Of course, we've also got our Wednesday Night Dinner menu, Hampden-Sydney Parents Weekend happenings, and a little Halloween magic in this week's Kitchen Alchemy!

So grab a cup of coffee, get comfortable, and catch up with us.

**Read this week's newsletter here:**

Thank you for being part of our story, y'all. We've still got a whole lot of love to spread and a whole lot of people to feed.

**Stay Grateful, Stay Fed!** 💛

Choose Fried Pork Chops or Fried Chicken Tenders. Individual dinners $16. Family Four-Packs $62: 4 fried pork chops or 12 fried chicken tenders; serves four.

Thankful Thursday from The Grateful Fed!

Y’all showed UP last night, and we SOLD OUT of every last bite of chicken and dumplings! And believe me, I made a LOT!

Those chicken and dumplings were a three-day labor of love, made from scratch, and I can’t tell you how good it felt to get back in the kitchen and just cook something that feeds people’s souls. There’s something magical about a big pot of comfort food, and I’ve decided Tammy’s Touch is going to become a weekly tradition!

Now, let’s talk about next week because we’re cooking up some GOOD stuff!

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28 — SOUTHERN COUNTRY SUPPER

Your choice of hand-cut Southern fried boneless pork chop OR golden fried chicken tenders, served with mashed potatoes and homemade country gravy, Southern green beans, yeast rolls, and warm baked apples for dessert!

$16 Single | $62 Family Four-Pack

And Pete’s making his Loaded Potato Soup! Available by the quart with the fixings on the side so you can load it up just how you like it! $15 a quart

Our $99 Family Feast is also available — a dozen sliders, 48-ounce salad, and a half gallon of Pete’s Potato soup and a 6 pack of Tabby’s famous homemade chocolate chip cookies!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30 — A LITTLE HALLOWEEN FALL FESTIVAL KITCHEN MAGIC!

I’m introducing my legendary slow-cooked Vegetable Beef Soup, made with tender roast that’s cooked low and slow, chopped by hand, and simmered with all that vegetable goodness. It’s a labor of love, and it’s going to be this week’s special edition of Tammy’s Touch! (This soup is gluten free)

We’ll also have a Chicken based soup for our alpha gal friends as well- stay tuned!

With Hampden-Sydney Parents Weekend, pumpkin patches, Halloween festivities, and all the fall fun happening around town, we’re planning some additional special take-home goodies for Friday evening and Saturday through lunchtime!

We’ll have more details soon, but get those soup pre-orders in when ordering opens because once it’s gone, it’s gone!

Most of all, THANK YOU for reminding me yesterday why I love feeding people so much. Sometimes a big pot of something homemade is exactly what the heart needs.

Good food, full bellies, and grateful hearts. That’s what we’re all about!

10/19/2026

Hey y’all! It’s Monday morning, and this weather is SCREAMING for soup!

Our newsletter is coming out today, but here’s a little sneak peek at what’s cooking at Grateful Fed this week!

CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS ARE BACK!

Made from scratch with hand-pulled chicken, just the way they should be! We’re making a BIG vat this week, but we need to know how big to make it!

We’ve also got our hearty Vegan Chili on the menu!

WEDNESDAY NIGHT DINNER IS A THIS OR THAT!

THIS: A warm bowl of soup and a sandwich.

THAT: A delicious Taco Salad with chips, salsa, AND queso!

OR BOTH! Grab your Taco Salad for Wednesday dinner and take home a couple quarts of soup for later in the week. Best of both worlds!

FEEDING THE WHOLE FAMILY?

Our $99 Family Feast Pack includes:

* A HALF GALLON of soup
* 12 sliders (ham, turkey, or vegetarian)
* A 48-ounce fresh salad

Now that’s dinner handled!

SOUP TO GO!

* Quart — $15
* Half Gallon — $30
* Gallon — $60

Soup will be available starting Wednesday at lunchtime!

Now here’s the big question…

Are you TEAM TACO SALAD, TEAM SOUP & SANDWICH, or TEAM BOTH?

And if you want to guarantee your chicken & dumplings, COMMENT BELOW how many quarts you’d like! We’re making plenty, but we’d love to know just how big that pot needs to be!

Let’s get something warm and wonderful on the table this week, y’all!

10/16/2026

Well, apparently Starr and I decided to get matching tattoos today. Unfortunately, ours came courtesy of two different pieces of hot kitchen equipment. Same arm, practically the same burn. That’s one way to show team spirit, I suppose.

Y’all, what a Friday at Third Street!

We had the core crew back together today. Pete, Tabby, Starr, Devon, Corinne, and me. And let me tell you, the amount of food that came out of this little kitchen today was nothing short of phenomenal.

Tonight we’re feeding folks at a retirement party AND a 100th birthday celebration. Tomorrow we’ve got FIVE Hampden-Sydney Homecoming events, Longwood Women’s Basketball, and a wedding. Then we’ll wrap up the weekend feeding a church group on Sunday morning.

And somewhere in the middle of all that cooking, our last remaining original stove decided it was time to retire, too.

This was the little $500 stove I bought when I first opened Grateful Fed, back when I was buying equipment with my little envelope of cash and a whole lot of hope. That stove has cooked more meals than I could ever begin to count.

My daddy said today, “If that thing was a car, it’d have 50 million miles on it. It doesn’t owe you a dime.”

And he’s right.

Of course, the timing could have been better. But that’s the restaurant business. One step forward, two steps back, and occasionally you burn your arm on the way.

We bit the bullet and bought a replacement today. Thankfully, we needed a little stove, not a giant commercial one, so it was $700 instead of $7,000. I’ll call that a win. It arrives tomorrow.

But here’s what I really want to say.

Today I watched a team of people who know each other, know their jobs, and know how to make things happen come together and absolutely knock it out of the park. We cooked, we laughed, we hustled, we probably said a few things that shouldn’t be repeated, and we kept right on going.

There is something pretty special about having your people back in the kitchen together.

We’re tired. We’re a little crispy around the edges. Apparently some of us are literally crispy.

But we’re ready for one heck of a weekend.

Here’s to good food, good people, old stoves that gave us everything they had, and a team that just keeps showing up.

Happy Friday, y’all. We’ve got a whole lot of people to feed, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Gratefully yours,
Tammy

We overcooked AGAIN! And you know what that means… our overcook is YOUR win!

Y’all, apparently we still haven’t figured out how to cook in small batches around here. But that’s good news for somebody who’s hungry!

HOT & READY RIGHT NOW!

We’ve got 2 quarts of Chicken & Corn Chowder up for grabs!

* $15 per quart
* Take both for $25!

And we have ONE half pan of our homemade lasagna left from last night’s prep! It’s all assembled and ready to go, just waiting for the oven.

You make the call:

* $60 – Hot, baked, and ready to eat! Give us about an hour and a half.
* $50 – Take it home unbaked! Pop it in your own oven whenever you’re ready.

No cooking, no grocery shopping, and a pretty darn good deal on some homemade food!

First come, first served! Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Comment below or send us a message to claim yours. Don’t wait too long, because y’all know how these things go!

Grateful Fed Catering — a little extra food, a whole lot of love.

LAST CALL FOR LASAGNA, Y’ALL!

That big pot of sauce has been working for two days, and we’re ready to let it do what it came here to do: feed you supper.

Orders close at NOON TODAY so we can get these lasagnas in the oven for tonight!

And a little love for our VEGETARIAN LASAGNA: yes, we have that option! We’ve only got one vegetarian order so far, and making just one serving is a little tricky. If you’ve been sitting out lasagna night because you don’t eat meat, pull up a chair. We’d love to make some for you, too.

Feeding a crew? Our $99 Family Feast includes:

• A whole half pan of lasagna—about 8–10 servings, depending on how generously you slice it
• A 48-ounce salad
• Half a loaf of garlic bread

Tonight’s dessert is apple pie bread pudding with caramel. Because apparently we weren’t making your supper decision easy enough already.

And a little honest kitchen-table talk: we love feeding you on Wednesday nights. We’ve spent years trying to make a homemade, reasonably priced supper that gives you a break from cooking and brings folks around the table.

To keep this program going, we need to average about 50 dinners each week. That’s what helps the labor and food costs make sense.

As we shared in the newsletter, some changes are coming to Grateful Fed. Wednesday dinners are one of the things I’ve been holding onto with both hands. We’ll reevaluate before Christmas, and if we aren’t averaging those 50 dinners a week, our final Wednesday dinner of December will be our last as we head into 2027.

We’d sure love to keep it rocking and rolling. Ordering supper, telling a friend, or sharing this post all help.

Let us feed you tonight. Meat or vegetarian, one supper or a whole family feast—get those orders in by NOON!
