My Michelle’s and Nations’ Best Catering Join Forces

According to a recent press release, My Michelle’s, Oxford’s No. 1 provider of healthy, home-cooked meals for families, couples and individuals, has partnered with Nations’ Best Catering, Oxford’s leading caterer for special events and dinners, forming a new company at the existing Nations’ Best location at 1308 North Lamar Blvd.

While My Michelle’s/Nation’s Best held its grand opening on Valentine’s Day, the Oxford/Lafayette Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Pat Patterson will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new business at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 16.

My Michelle’s owner Michelle Rounsaville and Nation’s Best owner Nancy Nations have known each other professionally since 1997. Both women attended highly respected culinary schools—Rounsaville in Vail, Colo. and Nations in Orlando, Fla.—and the two University of Mississippi graduates quickly bonded over a shared love for cooking and the food business.

The new company will continue to offer Rounsaville’s homemade dishes—prepared with as many locally grown, organic, free-range and 100% natural ingredients as possible, while also catering large events for Nations’ Best clients, such as dinner parties, wedding receptions, tailgating bashes and corporate banquets.

Hours of operation for My Michelle’s/Nations’ Best Catering will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. My Michelle’s weekly specials will still be offered. For more information, call (662) 236-1512 or visit http://www.mymichellesoxford.com or http://www.nationsbestcatering.com.
