Native Foods Cafe
Kent Katich and Constance Marie have been coming to Native Foods for a realllllly long time… maybe since the beginning! Now they bring Luna Marie with them, which we love because she is one of the coolest kids ever. When asked how Luna Marie has changed his life, Kent replied, “I have to talk to people now because she asks everyone, and their dogs, their names.” A true animal lover! No wonder we like her so much. And Kent is hands down one of my favoritest customers ever... mainly because he wears a F*** Meat shirt, which his fabulous wife Constance gifted him.
