Chef DeLosso Shows Us What Happens When Elevated Cuisine Combines Care & Creativity via Philadelphia Magazine

As Executive Chef & COO of 12th Street Catering, Chef DeLosso has spent decades designing experiences that bring people together, especially during the holidays.

“Food is a language everyone speaks,” he says. “When it’s done with care & creativity, it has the power to do so much more than satisfy appetites.”

Our chef discusses 12th Street's philosophy of giving back, our Full-Service & Delivered Thanksgiving & Holiday menus, & what sets 12th Street Catering apart! Click the link to read the full article: https://bit.ly/4nWtwoj

Food for thought.

At 12th Street, giving back has always been baked into our DNA. But how could we harness all that good & make it stronger, more intentional, & more lasting?

That's when we looked to the Satell Institute, a leading organization for CEOs focused on Corporate Social Responsibility & impactful community engagement, for help. Satell Institute helps companies focus on organizations of their choice & make a powerful impact. With their guidance, we selected our anchor nonprofit partners:

Morris Animal Refuge, one of America’s first animal shelters, & a leader in humane animal care.
& Ronald McDonald House Charities Philadelphia, supporting families with seriously ill children.

Learn more about Satell Institute & the organizations we support though them by reading our latest blog linked in bio.
