Gourmet Caterers had a crazy busy week.  It started with 4 days of Mission & Mentoring for St Joseph’s Health System.  Each day started with a Continental Breakfast with fresh fruit, bagels and a Zucchini Frittata on the second day.  Lunch was wonderful sandwiches and salad with lemon bars for day 1 followed by a deluxe appetizer event to finish off the day.

Day 2 had a Harvest Lunch of Butternut Squash Soup and Asparagus Salad.  It was both a treat for the palate and the eyes.

Friday brought us to do a BBQ lunch for Kerr in Anaheim.  Kebobs and BBQ’d Chicken provided by Gourmet Caterers pleased all the palates on site.

Saturday took us to Temple Beth Tikvah for a Kiddush Lunch and the Best Rugelach served warm from the oven.  Guests feasted on Kugel and Fritatta, frsh Fruit Display, Cream Puffs and Chocolate Mousse Cups.

This week Gourmet Caterers again outdid themselves.  See our pictures at
