AFE - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Marketing & Communications Specialist
"Sometimes you never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory."
Founded in 1985, A Fare Extraordinaire has been a leading caterer in Houston and beyond for almost 4 decades. Always woman-owned and operated, our founder, Karen Lerner, grew the catering business from a tiny kitchen to a bustling office bursting with creativity. Our current owner and CEO, Rachael Volz, started as a receptionist in 2005, quickly learning the ropes and eventually becoming co-owner in 2010 and sole owner and CEO in 2014.
With Rachael at the helm, we expanded both our services and home base, moving to a 4-acre property in central Houston. Acting as designers, general contractors, the cleaning crew, and creative marketers, our team turned a 1942 munitions factory into our new home in 9 months. The vast space now houses a 25,000 sq. ft. venue, The Revaire, along with AFE's offices, rental warehouse, and catering & tasting kitchens. We also rent office and warehouse space to creative industry tenants who add to our inspired atmosphere.
We are always innovating, striving to be the best for our clients. We appreciate all of those who have supported us through the years and look forward to many more milestones to come!
