The very nondescript Crystal Lake Plaza on Curry Ford Road has established itself as a bazaar for bon vivants of sorts, and not just because of "The Beef People" at Winn-Dixie. Over the past few years, Theo's Kitchen, Roque Pub, Papa Llama and JJ's Fresh have all burrowed themselves into the plaza's aging (and affordable) confines, bringing a plurality of flavors to a rapidly diversifying Curry Ford West.
In that mix is Uncommon Catering, the boutique company run by Tara Vernau-Smith and her husband, Travis. It originated at East End Market before the couple moved operations here to Camp Crystal Lake. It's no horror setting, not by a long shot, but I like the thought of a billboard with a hockey-masked Jason Voorhees proclaiming, "The food here absolutely slays!"
