It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our founder, mentor, and friend, Harriet Dupree Bradley. Harriet started Dupree Catering in 1986 and then partnered with longtime friend, Eileen McCormick. These two superwomen began in a one room kitchen, even sharing an office desk and phone. Together they continued to grow the business catering events for over 2000 guests. Under Harriet’s leadership Dupree catered to celebrities, past presidents, and royalty. Harriet’s philosophy was simple: serve local, incredible tasting food with gracious hospitality. Dupree Catering and Events continues to honor this philosophy.

Harriet loved her employees and went above and beyond for them. She was a pioneer in offering health insurance and a retirement plan to food industry staff, long before the practice became more common. She helped employees pay for medical procedures or opened her home if someone needed a place to stay. Harriet was there to listen, offer advice and help in any way she could. One of our kitchen’s mottos was “Ask for what you need.” Now this did not mean you would always get it, but she would be there to hear you out.

She also had a passion for the environment, especially the environmental impact of the catering business. During Harriet’s ownership, Dupree catering earned its 2-star status as a Green Certified Caterer, one of the first in the state of Kentucky. Now Dupree maintains a 4-star Green certification, all due to Harriet’s passion.

Our deepest condolences go out to the Bradley, Dupree and Grimes family as they mourn this terrible loss.
We will miss you, Harriet, but your legacy will live on through our food, hospitality, and green practices.
