Taking a Closer Look at Our Event with Ferrari ~

We provided food for a 2-day Ferrari Invite Only VIP test-driving event. We chose to support local, seasonal, and sustainable with this event, like we do for every event.

We foraged figs, served our own in-house cured Iberico Salumi, used our own heirloom tomatoes, partnered with .coffee.co to serve the best and cleanest organic coffee drinks, and served Calvisius caviar. We shopped at our local farmer’s market, Ha’s Farm for pink lady apples, plums, raspberries, and more. Sharing our local community in this way with an international luxury brand proves that quality doesn’t have to be sacrificed to remain sustainable.

is so proud to be able to create these wonderful events with amazing food, excellent service, and a strong partnership with our local community.

If you could only have one course for the rest of your life - appetizers, salad, entree, dessert - which would you choose?

This is fantasy, so calories don’t count!

This celebration of life was a special one. Bonnie, a consummate hostess known for her legendary parties, would lay out an elaborate spread and casually say, “oh it’s just tidbits.”

Friends, family, and even a dog came to laugh, share stories, and shed a few tears for this sweet and special send off in Bonnie’s name. With tidbits to nosh on, of course.

We always feel privileged to help honor a loved one for a Celebration of Life. It’s a beautiful thing to see neighbors, friends and family come together to share stories and memories. Often times, the menu is a tribute to a loved one’s favorite food, culture or refreshments that feel good for the soul.

There’s nothing quite like a Modern Monet wedding theme with pastel hues and edible flowers to cast off the June gloom… gloom. Wedding season is upon us and that’s something to get excited about. Still deciding on a caterer? We’re a phone call away!

Corporate catering does not have to mean the same old boring take out menus and lackluster platters. Creativity has a place in the office, whether it’s a corporate mixer or a budget meeting. Put a little color and fun back into your company gatherings, we dare you… 😉

So FUN! Check out our feature in Fun with Fun Size, a lifestyle blog whose launch event we were lucky enough to cater! These ladies (and select gentlemen) enjoyed craft ice cream, bubbly, table scape and bar cart inspirations, and the cutest appetizers you ever did see by yours truly.
