Way’s Cookin Catering: Serving D.C., Maryland, and Virginia Since 2006
Waynette developed an early interest in the kitchen with her grandmother and great
grandmother as they picked fresh herbs from the garden to prepare meals for their large
family. She witnessed the craft of her elders preparing meals. When she was growing
up, Waynette prepared family meals for her three younger siblings while her mother worked two jobs.
As a young adult, Waynette started preparing meals for her girlfriends and at small
family events, which ignited their taste buds and rapidly increased requests for her
special culinary skills. Her catering business was birthed from sitting at the table with her
girlfriends who were enjoying one of her meals. They fondly named her business ‘All
Way’s Cookin.’
