Taste The Occasion

There is something about attending an event that is catered which makes the event seem extra special. Last weekend I attended a Christmas party at the absolutely gorgeous home of one of my administrators. The party was catered by a relatively newish catering company named Taste The Occasion.
From the moment I spied the appetizer selections I knew we were in for a treat. So many delicious selections such as bamboo skewers of tortellini and tomatoes as well as some very tasty dips. I tried to restrain myself because I wanted to save room for dinner.
Thank goodness I did! As I neared the buffet tables I noticed two kinds of salad including Caesar and a spinach salad with dried cranberries and feta cheese. Yum! Fresh green beans sauteed with mushrooms had a wonderful smoky flavor. Rice pilaf (one of my faves) was the perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken breast and Filet Mignon. Bread and butter was a nice addition to the meal.
I’m pretty sure everyone devoured their meals. I for one know that I did. Everything was prepared perfectly. After eating all of that wonderful food I didn’t think I could manage to consume any more that evening. I was wrong.
The caterers presented us with a lovely dessert buffet filled with all sorts of selections. Peppermint cake pops, peanut butter balls, chocolate cake, flan and pumpkin roll tempted us all. I managed to consume a peppermint cake pop, peanut butter ball and half of a slice of pumpkin roll. I’m not sure how I managed, but I could not possibly pass up such deliciousness.
I also have to add that the catering team did a lovely job with their presentation of the food. Tasteful holiday décor provided an accent to all of the dishes. All of the employees were very professional and courteous which is so important. It is also important to note that the team purchased all of the produce and meat that day, meaning that all of our food was extremely fresh. I was informed that the staff took care of all of the clean up as well including mopping the floors.
I was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and creativity delivered by the catering team from Taste The Occasion. Now I just need to find an excuse to host a catered event! ;)
P. S.) Taste The Occasion is such a new company that they do not have a business office. That is why I did not list a street address. Sorry!
