This weekend Chef David and Chef Chris catered a Christmas party for the Warner Estates community in Tempe, Arizona. What we offered for this event was a pasta bar in which we sauteed fresh dishes right in front of the guests. We offered different pasta choices with 3 sauces (Garlic cream, a vodka sauce and marinara). As well, we offered a variety of veggies such as peas, artichokes, sauteed mushrooms, fresh basil and fresh parsley. This was our first event offering an on-site-saute/pasta bar and our guests were awed by the uniqueness of this style of catering. So much so, that we felt it necessary to tell people about it.
The concept is most definitely in it's infancy and as any good caterer will tell you, every event is a lesson in which you grow and better yourself as part of the staff, and as a company. We will be offering this to our future event hosts and simply can not wait to do it again.
We had a great time working this event and were very happy with how it turned out. Our staff showed up to the in the requested 30's Hollywood theme attire slinging cocktails at the bar and our severs carried party trays with fresh bruschetta served on freshly baked crostinis drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Vodka and wine lit the pans up in flames with these delicious Italian dishes which over and over again were received in the highest of gratitude.
"I grew up in this neighborhood and I know it's people well. I feared that it would be
difficult to please them as their taste is exquisite, refined and well established. However,
to my honest surprise, they loved every bite of what we gave them. It was beyond a
relief, a success, it was why I love what I do." -Chef Christopher
Thank you to the community for having us and we very much look forward to doing more events like this in the future. If you would like to talk to the chef about an on-site-saute for your event, visit the website and call us today. www.arizonaeventcatering.com.
