I’m not a big bragger. But I wanted to share some our many reviews as a shout out to The Spotted Hen team. (And a little bit of bragging also! 😂) My team means the world to me. I 💯percent could not do it without them. Most of my crew has been with me a long time. Some have left to spread their wings, but ended up coming back. Catering is not an easy job. What our clients see is the end result of the hard work and creativity my staff has put in to make the food and service the best it can be. Most of the staff were hired more for their passion and personality. I can teach a person to use a knife properly, or carry a tray of plates to a table. But you cannot teach a passion for making food, cocktails or being a people person out on the floor while serving guests. Taylor, our head wedding coordinator/planner of everything related to food and service said it well, “off site catering is like glorified camping”. All of the food is prepped ahead (and finished at the event). We load all of that into a van, along with dishes, cooking supplies, portable burners, etc. Drive to the location, unload, cook, serve and clean. Then pack it all back into the van, drive everything back and clean it all up. All in one day!!!!! It’s a lot of hours, and very physical. It takes about 12 people to pull off a small wedding (not including the pastry chef, baker, dishwasher) And let me tell you, it’s not for the faint of heart. So I wanted to honor them by showing off a handful of reviews from Wedding Wire, Yelp and The Knot. 🔥🥂🧁🍰🦪🫛🥩

Spotted Hen is the caterer for Southwestern Law School, which is located in the original Bullocks Wilshire building in K-Town. The Law School bought this building when it was in terrible disrepair back in the seventies. They completely restored the building back to its original Art Deco style. We are over the moon to be their in-house caterer. We also run The Tea Room where students and staff eat when school is in session. Our team walks into this gorgeous place everyday. Trust me when i tell you it doesn’t get old. There was a big event yesterday where the public came through on tours of the building. Their final stop was the Tea Room. We served them high tea from a menu that they served back in 1929. Three different tea sandwiches, currant scones with clotted cream and jam, finger sweets consisting of lavender shortbread, lemon tarts, and chocolate bars with hazelnuts. .la

Getting prepped for lobster taco appetizers. Of course i needed to try one.
Side note, when my sister and I were very young, maybe 8 and 9, our family would go to dinner and my dad would order lobster. Needless to say Lisa and I have looooooved it ever since. I like to use whole lobster and split them in half. The reason I like to split them is so the meat gets a touch smokey flavor, and the chipotle compound butter can bubble away in the 1/2 shell of the lobster. When they are cooled down a bit, I take the meat out of the tail and claws, give them rough chop and they are alllllll ready for tacos!!! 🌮
