One Local Catering Company is Adapting to COVID and Growing!

Like most local businesses, Company's Coming Catering was faced with the daunting task of reinventing its entire business model in the wake of COVID. With over 15 years of experience catering and crafting food of the finest local ingredients and catering at some of the area's most popular venues, the COVID impact has been devastating to this family-owned business. Last week, Owner and Head Chef Josh Hunter, a member of the American Culinary Federation launched Chef's Fork, brought to you by Company's Coming Catering.

This fresh organic meal prep service allows for individual portions to be ordered from a list of weekly rotating meals. The meals are available for purchase in 3 and 5 count meal packs and a new menu is released each Friday, orders are accepted through Tuesday. Meals can be picked up in person at the Terrace Street Bistro in Roxborough (3989 Terrace Street) or delivered to the General Plymouth Meeting area for a small $10 delivery fee.

The individually portioned meals feature local ingredients sourced for optimal freshness. "The single portion size of our meals allows us to offer this service not only to local families but also single-person households or couples looking for an affordable and delicious way to check dinner off their list without being forced to purchase a larger family-sized quantity." Chef Hunter stated.

This week's menu included a choice of Lump cramp cakes, au gratin potatoes, and steamed vegetable medley; 3 Cheese stuffed shells and sauteed roman kale with shallots; Beef stroganoff, egg noodles, and roasted carrots; Grilled jerk shrimp and veggie kabobs with coconut rice; and Almond crusted tilapia, rosemary roasted potatoes, and sauteed green bean medley. "The response to our first week of service was an excellent start but we are very excited to grow awareness to this program and offer this service to additional customers in the coming weeks." Said Alicia McEvoy, Josh's sister, and Event Coordinator.

ZACHARY RIGHTER OF PHILADELPHIA CHARGED WITH VANDALISM, THEFT FROM VEHICLES AND RELATED CHARGES

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. (Jan 9, 2020) — Conshohocken Borough Police Chief George Metz, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority Police Chief Thomas J. Nestel and Whitemarsh Township Police Chief Christopher P. Ward announce the arrest of Zachary Righter, 26, of Philadelphia, for charges related to vandalism of vehicles, theft from vehicles, credit card fraud and related offenses.

Between Dec. 2, 2019 and Jan. 1, 2020, Conshohocken and Whitemarsh Police Departments received 71 reports of vehicles with broken windows, some of which had property and valuables stolen from them, in the area of the Conshohocken, Spring Mill and Miquon Train Stations for the SEPTA Manayunk/Norristown Line. In every case, patrol officers responded to the scenes and took reports. Officers gathered evidence at the scene and along the Schuylkill River Bike Trail, which also connects with all three stations. Evidence included recovered material items and DNA evidence gathered from some of the effected vehicles.

During the investigation detectives from Conshohocken and Whitemarsh determined that credit cards stolen from various locations had been used in the area. Detectives were then able to obtain video of the defendant using the credit cards in local establishments. Based on the evidence recovered and photographs from the video obtained, a Wanted Person Bulletin was created with a photo of the suspect, physical descriptors, information on the defendant’s normal dress and evidence that indicated that the defendant was utilizing the Bike Path to ride a bicycle from train station to train station.

On Jan. 2, 2020 a SEPTA Police Officer, armed with the Wanted Person Bulletin, observed and identified Righter in the area of the Ivy Ridge Train Station, which is also along the Bike Trail and part of the Manayunk/ Norristown Line. The SEPTA officer immediately shared this information with the investigating detectives.

Righter was arrested and charged with felony offenses related to the vandalism, theft from vehicles, credit card fraud and related offenses. He was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Deborah Lukens, who set bail at $10,000 cash. The defendant was unable to post bail and was remanded to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 22, 2020.

The Conshohocken, Whitemarsh and SEPTA Police Departments routinely work together to address crimes and issues that occur along the Schuylkill River Bike Trail in the area of the Conshohocken, Spring Mill and Miquon Train Stations
