Nuksy’s Fine Catering Secures HCDE Contract B2G With Victory’s Proposal Support
B2G Victory is thrilled to announce a major win for one of our clients, Nuksy’s Fine Catering, led by the talented Chef Yolonda “Chef Yo” Henry. Nuksy’s has been awarded a contract under the Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) Local Food and Catering Services RFP, a five-year opportunity to serve HCDE’s diverse educational and enrichment programs.
This competitive procurement sought vendors capable of delivering high-quality catering for HCDE’s business meetings, workshops, trainings, and special events. Nuksy’s Fine Catering stood out with its commitment to gourmet excellence, bespoke menus, and a stress-free client experience.
Why Nuksy’s Stood Out
Led by the talented Chef Yo, their team is dedicated to creating unforgettable dining experiences through meticulously crafted dishes, elegant presentation, and attentive service that exceeds expectations.
Chef Yo is an entrepreneur, small business advocate, pioneer, and innovator. She has two decades of culinary experience providing 5-star dining for upscale, celebrity, corporate, and casual events in the Texas and Louisiana region. With over 25 years of catering experience, Nuksy’s is certified as:
