L.A. Catering Trends
Monday, May 16, 2005 12:00Los Angeles Downtown News published a small round-up on L.A. catering trends today.
The caterers queried say that there is a growing sophistication among clients who are often looking for more esoteric eats; that after 9/11 wedding parties went through the roof; that smaller courses, and dishes featuring primarily protein, are more popular.
“Catering has become more esoteric. Rather than doing an event that has an island or Caribbean theme, clients are doing something even more specific or indigenous. Rather than have a party that’s South American, they focus on Salvadoran or Venezuelan cuisine.” — Geoffrey Bernstein, City Kitchen
Among the restaurants and vendors included in the story are Angelique Café, California Crisp, Kensington Caterers , The Palm Restaurant , and City Kitchen .
