telling the truth - a new approach to catering.
a new catering company. a not-new guy behind the wheel
hello.
over the years, I have been asked to cater larger and more casual events. being a private chef, I can only be in one place at a time. this presented a few logistical challenges for me. i have decided to found a catering company that can address those issues.
pared-down service. approachable menus.
the service that i offer through Food By Chef Ty is best described as "elevated". presenting each course, customizing menus, and spending an entire evening with my host is what i love to do, but not everyone is looking for that.
some people just want to keep it simple. a few plated courses, a buffet, or a few platters is what many are looking for. your child's birthday party, a memorial service, or 3rd wedding might not be occasions where you want a 2-4 hour dining experience. this company will be there for those instances.
the more "elevated" food gets, the fewer people can enjoy it. what i mean to say is that things like food allergies, special diets, and other proclivities can get in the way when trying to entertain large groups. food diego will offer more simplified versions of some of my favorite and most popular recipes.
all food. no fluff.
fluff isn't a bad thing - depending on who you are talking to.
some people aren't fans of extraordinary sauces and garnishes. there are those, too, who have a peculiar preference for being able to pronounce the names of dishes they are eating as well as the ingredients in them.
we hear you. and you will hear less from us. less frill and ribbons where the food is concerned.
we will keep it simple, not because you don't "understand" elevated food, but because you have told us that you're not in the mood for it.
no. we will not be serving tuna sandwiches and celery sticks. we also won't remind you in any way of Panera. we will, however, make it very clear that we are serving what you want as opposed to what we think that you should have.
food is on the menu; not our ego.
telling the truth. a new approach to catering
I have worked with and for many catering companies over the years. one thing i would do differently than some other catering companies is to represent exactly what i can deliver.
sure. we all love a really enticing food photo. when promoting ourselves we put our best foot forward. but if what you see on photos isn't the food that is delivered to you, it can feel like a really bad Tinder date.
we will not describe our food or food experience like a sweeping novel. it's food.
we're proud of it and know that it is a delicious, beautiful product.
there's a good chance that you will agree.
what we show you is what you get. we will do what we said that we will do. period.
you can consider the above affirmation the first draft of our mantra and mission statement.
stay tuned...
this is a brand new website and a brand new company.
but it is established on the foundation built by Chef Ty and his other business:
