Even during these times we are SAFELY coming to your home or office and serving up delicious meals. The summer bounty abounds right now and shows itself off in these recent meals. Give us a call to schedule your event before we lose this gorgeous weather!!

One of the greatest things we do for our clients is help with menu planning for special events. A husband of a great client called and ordered a luncheon [COVID] friendly of course] for his wife birthday with a few girlfriends to celebrate with. They enjoyed a summer's bounty of a salad loaded with Farmer's Market Vegetables, Fresh Salmon, Fruit Platter and Garlic Toasts. I asked him what he wanted for dessert and he said they don't eat dessert. Since it was such a warm day we suggested they try our Boozy Popsicle. Made in house with Organic Strawberry Puree and Vanilla Cream with Orange Vodka. They were packed on dry ice so that the guests could enjoy them outside as a Popsicle or add to their favorite glass of Bubbly. What a creamy delicious, boozy treat on a hot day!!
These were a hit!!

Now more than ever hiring a professional cater for your event is the best decision you can make. Along with handling food properly from the moment we receive the raw product, cooking and cooling to the correct temperatures and storage you are assured a safe event. Keeping you and your guests safe has always a paramount concern and now even more with COVID protocols. So if you are planning an event like this one in your socially distanced backyard we are happy to bring everything to you and handle it all with masks and gloves and endless sanitation. We can also work out of your garage or carport and not be in your home.

We can still serve beautiful buffets but only our staff handles the plates and dishes up the food. No other contact by you or your guests until we hand off the plate with our clean and gloved hand.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE~
We have our favorite knives, pots and pans. But these are some of the most important tools of our trade. We have asked people when they are about to partake of the buffet to use the sanitizer we provide, it is a policy we have had in place for 16 years. We offer sanitizing wipes at more remote events. When catering off premise we travel with sanitizing wipes and sanitizer in our company vehicles. We have large sanitizing wipes and heavy duty paper towels for our employees to cleanse their hands with at all events.

We have been doing this for the 27 years we have been in business. You have trusted us as we come into your homes and offices to provide food and beverages. Sanitation and preventing food borne illness is paramount and always will be.

We like you are watching the Local, State and Federal Governments advice on preventing the spread of the Corona virus. We are working even harder to heighten our efforts in food handling, hand washing and all kitchen, dining room, bar and vehicle sanitation. We have no employees sick.

Our efforts are on going and so far we have not had any disruption of business. We appreciate always your trust in us and our ability to serve you. We are open as usual for business, doing catering events and corporate lunch delivery. We are executing events at our event center, The Country Inn Eugene with a heightened awareness of sanitation. Our Easter and Mother's Day brunches are on and taking reservations. If you have any questions at all please contact us at 541.343.7933.

When you're ready to throw the ultimate party that sets the bar for all others give us a call. This recent summer event had all the elements of a great party. When using a theme carry it throughout.

We have menus that you can choose from for your catering needs but did you know most of what we do is custom designed? For example this darling little brownie bite was created for a special gentleman's celebration of life. He loved wine so we created a Pinot Noir brownie with Pinot Noir butter cream and white chocolate drizzle. Special & sweet.
