As an experienced Chef that has been in the field for over 11 years I understand the importance of having the right food and the right menu at an important event such as a Birthday, Wedding, or Anniversary. The best way to get a good deal plus get a good menu is to hire a caterer. These caterers offer all sorts of special occasion menus, for whatever you special event is for, and in most all cases the Head Caterer is a Chef of some sort. Back in the day when I was a Chef, I had a Head Catering job, and let me tell ya you can’t just be some Joe Shmo to dish out all the responsibilities that come at hand with something like this! A few weeks ago I had a client ask me to search around for them for a calibre cater in the Atlanta area and I found about 5 or 6 okay ones, but there was one in particular that was absolutely fantastic. Not only was the menu delicious sounding, but the website was also very professional; which to me is an important aspect of any site!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to sample Italian cuisine from the various regions of Italy? Given the diverse climate from north to south, cuisine varies according to ingredients available. As an example, Northern Italian regional cuisine depends less on oil oil, pasta and the traditional red tomato sauce. Here, the cuisine identifies with crossover ingredients like arborio rice which is used for some of the best risotto dishes in the world. Polenta is also a staple of Northern Italian cuisine. Sauce for pastas are generally prefabricated from cream and butter. And meats tend to include rabbit, veal, especially in Osso Bucco where veal shanks are the main ingredient. Cheese is also an important feature of Northern Italian cuisine with Fontina, rather than parmesan, being a chosen favorite. Other meat dishes can include game birds. In general, a Northern Italian meal has all the characteristics of a hardy, yet simple, meal. Since truffles can also be found in this region, these delicacies are often found in many Northern Italian dishes.

Corporate catering can be a tricky business, but if you follow the guidelines below you’ll survive the ordeal unscathed and with minimal stress:

1. Never use a new caterer or a social caterer for a large corporate event. Never. I don’t care if your Aunt Sally swears on the grave of her dead mother that a caterer is fabulous, corporate catering is about more than good food. The food must not detract from the business purpose of the meeting, and wedding or social event caterers simply don’t have the background to incorporate food service appropriately. It’s a skill that should be proven before unleashing a new catering bourgeois on an important event. Test new caterers out on small lunches—make sure the food is good and delivery times are kept before handing over an important event to someone you’ve not worked with before.
