A Pre-Thanksgiving Feast For Gabriel Friends
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
Marla Oden, proprietor of
Whisk Takers Catering, brought her talents and expertise to
the party on November 17, as Toledo City Councilwoman
Theresa M. Gabriel hosted friends and political dignitaries
during a pre-Thanksgiving celebration at Michael’s on Monroe
Street in downtown Toledo.
Republicans, Democrats and
independents put aside political differences to feast on
Oden’s holiday fare – turkey with all the trimmings.
Oden, an Akron native, has
been a Glass City resident for the past three decades, with
a brief, recent interlude in Las Vegas, Nevada where she
beefed up her culinary skills at Le Cordon Bleu College of
Culinary Arts.
She returned to Toledo to
work at the Hollywood Casino’s Final Cut steakhouse and,
this year, launched Whisk Takers Catering, providing a range
of catering services for large and small, intimate parties.
