There is always something to cheers about when you get to work with Ashlyn! Her event production and direction prowess and dance moves are unmatched, and she’s a stellar team member at DISH. Get to know Ashlyn:

🍽️ What do you love about working at DISH?

I love being at the events! I get to witness some of the most important moments in peoples’ lives, and be a small part of what makes their celebrations special, fun, interesting, etc. Even our corporate events get me into some amazing venues where I get a different view of NYC, and I always remember how cool it is to live here.

🍽️ Can You Share a Memorable Event You Worked On and What Made It Special?

I worked with a couple named Moriba & Kardell, and they were literally iconic. Seriously, their wedding photos could be on the cover of Vogue. It was a special wedding because you could feel how darn excited they were to have found each other and have this stylish, personalized, intentional, joyous wedding. During dinner, the Mariah Carey song “We Belong Together” came on, and it became a huge sing-a-long with every guest belting it out from their seats, a la My Best Friend’s Wedding. Also their officiant was the same person who officiated my wedding, so I got to reconnect with her!

🍽️ What’s Your Signature Dish and What’s the Story Behind It?
My husband and I love trying new recipes from the New York Times, Bon Appetit, etc, whenever we feel like our kitchen repertoire is getting a little stale. One summer, I made this creamy zucchini pasta recipe that changed my whole relationship with summer squash, lemme tell you. It’s so easy and delicious, and if you add some shrimp or chicken sausage, it is even better. I gave this recipe to Clark in the office, and he is now also obsessed! Maybe not my signature dish, but I love making it for friends and family.

🍽️ Fun fact about yourself or anything you’d like to share

On the weekends, you can usually find me at a Renaissance Faire.

🍽️ If you could cater any event for anyone who would it be?

Henry the Eighth of England. That man liked to eat and his kitchens were world renowned. It would have been wild to cater an event for his court.

🍽️ What do you love about working at DISH?

The people really make the place for me. Core values are something that I take to heart in both my personal and professional life. Seeing everyone come together to create exceptional moments, while also having a very human element to hospitality coupled with pristine ex*****on is.. *chefs kiss*. I appreciate the teams and what every individual brings to the table.

🍽️ Tell us about a memorable event you worked on

Our most recent event managing the GovBall VIP Cabanas was a very memorable experience. Working on an event that large with so many moving parts was humbling, exciting, and a very cool opportunity.

🍽️ What’s your signature dish?

My momma’s chicken devan. It’s a chicken and broccoli casserole dish that was passed down from her mother. Nothing in the world can make me feel more at home than that first bite.

Thrilled to share that we’re now a preferred caterer at , New York City’s premier event space in Gowanus, Brooklyn.

Each space was designed with a range of production needs in mind, resulting in a series of inviting spaces that collectively reimagine the building’s rich history.

Grand Hall
The 22,517-square-foot, column-free Grand Hall can accommodate up to 1,200 people for concerts, film premieres, theatrical performances, and exhibitions to photo or film shoots, brand activations, industry conventions and conferences, fashion shows, galas, pop-ups, art fairs, and more.

The Loft
A 6,000-square-foot flexible space located adjacent to the Grand Hall and able to accommodate 295 people, The Loft is ideal for smaller events such as pop ups, fashion shows, product launches, conferences, intimate dinners, cocktail parties, live music, and art exhibitions. It also acts as ancillary space for activity in the Grand Hall.

Small Hall
The 2,400-square-foot Small Hall can host events such as film screenings, literary talks and panel discussions, art exhibitions, small meetings, and community events. The Small Hall can also act as a back- of-house space for the Grand Hall, or events in The Loft.

We’re so excited to provide incredible offerings in these spaces! Pick from full-course plated meals to light bites and personalized activation stations. Thirsty? We’ve got everything from bar carts to full bars to keep the drinks flowing! Link in bio to get in touch ✨

Thrilled to introduce one of our talented event producers, Julianna Dorozynsky! She keeps our events running smoothly, has impeccable attention to detail and her sense of humor is unmatched. Get to know Julianna!

🍽️ If you could cater for anyone in history who would it be?

I would want to cater a wild dinner in ancient rome. I want the tablescape to be overflowing and the wine to be in endless supply. Cleopatra is on the guest list and we are pregaming a chariot race.

🍽️ What do you love about working at DISH?

Dish has a really great group of people. Everyone is down to pitch in and lend a hand and it is a collaborative effort where really talented individuals all come together to execute some awesome events.

🍽️ Tell us about a memorable event you worked on

Recently we did the ultimate cabana catering for GovBall. Not only was it a great experience for all of us professionally, but who wouldn’t want to listen to Chappell Roan live while filling a dinner station.

🍽️ What is your signature dish?

My signature dish is bowtie pasta with homemade sauce and Italian sausage. It is a simple but delicious recipe. On my first date with my partner I surprised her with this home cooked meal. The last time I made it was on a cabin getaway for her birthday, so I am probably due to dust it off and have a surprise dinner soon.

Find your peach 🍑

We found ours with for their Pantone-color-of-the year inspired shoot featuring a gorgeous array of Peach Fuzz stylings.

We complimented this retro and groovy scene with a few dishes. Here we have our bright baby beat salad ft blood orange, winter greens, ricotta, capers, yuzu ginger vinaigrette (one of our vegetarian & gluten-free salad options)

Through the ICAEF's scholarship program, we provide educational opportunities to a wide range of people from the world of professional catering. Winners get tuition to Catersource or The Art of Catering Food.

Their stories are inspiring. We are sharing a few with you here over the next month. Stories such as that of Niubelka Vasquez Castro, operations manager at Dish Food and Events, Dish Food and Events This year, she attended Catersource on an ICAEF Scholarship provided by American Metalcraft.

In her application, Niubelka said this ...

"I have seen the ins and outs of pretty much every side of catering, not because of my age but because of my range of job experiences. I bring a unique perspective as someone who has worked my way up to management. I have put in hours of grunt work cleaning floors and bathrooms, working strenuous hours in a pizza shop in the Bronx throughout the peak of the Covid-19 crisis, and being the only bilingual worker liaising between English-speaking management and Spanish-speaking workers in my last warehouse. I’m proud of where my hard work got me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue my professional developmen. Attending this event will help me develop professionally by learning new skills, gaining new knowledge, and getting inspired by industry leaders. By soaking in this information, I hope to sharpen my instincts around decision-making in our fast-paced environment."

A look at our recent corporate tasting with executive chef AJ leading the way! The tasting consisted of these incredible dishes:

Smoked Ruby Shrimp 🍤
Hand Chopped Salmon Burger 🐟 🍔
Nori Roasted Cauliflower 🤍
Cacao Espresso Crusted NY Strip Steak 🥩

Which one (or all) would you like to try!?

We welcomed wedding guests into the expansive and bright with our delightful mini lobster rolls paired with crisp rosè to kick off an extraordinary evening above the manhattan skyline 🏙️

It’s a pleasure to introduce our Director of Sales, Deborah Daoudi! Her positivity and leadership are an incredible addition to DISH and a driving force behind our sales team ✨ Get to know Deborah!

🍽️ If you could cater for anyone in history, who would it be?

One person I’ve always wanted to hang with is Anthony Bourdain. His book was one of the first that I felt really connected to and showed a realistic view into working in the hospitality industry. Also I just feel like he’d be really fun to drink with, the stories he probably has!

🍽️ What is your signature dish?

I enjoy cooking and experimenting so I don’t know if I have one signature dish. I love trying new recipes and tend to jump on the social media food trends haha. I do however make a very good kimchi jigae!

🍽️ Why do you love working at DISH?

My sales team! Not only are they passionate, caring, and collaborative, they are just amazing human beings that I like to be around. They are rockstars and really do amazing work.

🍽️ Tell us about a memorable DISH event!

Probably the first event I attended when joining Dish. It was with a luxury magazine that was hosting an influencer event in a luxury high rise building in Dumbo, Brooklyn. It was a beautiful day and they had views of Manhattan and Brooklyn. There were celebrity designers that had decked out the apartment (including a bathtub filled with disco balls!) We had tray passed apps and drinks and a fun lobster + rose cart on the roof deck. It was a lot of fun to watch the team execute that event and hear the compliments from the guests.
