The Mini Burger

As a caterer, we're always trying to take traditional menu items and add a delicious flare to make them more unique. One item in particular that we have enjoyed twisting its traditionalism is a SLIDER. Now, who doesn't love a good slider?! If you said no, it's because you haven't tried one of ours and need to ASAP! Below are some mouth watering pictures of some new and improved mini burgers that will have your guests raving.

Chicken Katsu Slider

This Asian flare mini burger takes buns to a different level. Instead of your traditional bun, we went with a sushi rice bun to play with the theme!

Pizza Cheeseburger Slider

Never say never with this delectable item that will definitely rock your socks off. Have you ever wondered what it tastes like to eat a cheeseburger and pizza at the same time? This slider embodies the pepperoni pizza in bun form and the center is of course the cheeseburger. We'll just leave it at that!

Black Bean Slider

Vegetarians can also have fun! This delicious black bean slider is trapped by a tasty sweet potato bun and sriracha aioli.

and several others......

Beef Slider with Cambozola Cheese

Traditional Beef Slider with Cheddar cheese and Caramelized onions

Quinoa Slider

The sliders could go on, but we'll just keep you wondering about the rest of them. A slider station is always a fun and interactive for your guests so don't forget to inquire about them when asking us about catering for your next event!

LOVE Is In The Air (for food)

Happy almost Valentines Day! With the historical day of LOVE in just a couple of days, one of the first things that pops to mind is what fun and festive dessert should be served at a Valentines party. This particular holiday involves special attention to a sweet element because it's what people tend to give as gifts, and it alludes to the romanticism of the day.  

Let's talk about CHOCOLATE. Everyone loves a good chocolate dessert on this day, and over the years of catering we have created (and continue to) some special treats for our clients.

Sugar cookies are a great way to get fun if you're planning on setting out just cookies (as you saw from our super bowl post). Our pastry chef can create any custom cookie that fits for your event. That can range anywhere from your favorite sports team, holidays, special names, etc.  Below are some fun examples of what she can create for your upcoming Valentines party!

Hope you all have something planned for your special someone this Valentines Day!
