We are a solutions-oriented caterer/ event coordinator who works with you to make sure your event is designed to be successful, whether it is a private party, wedding, or corporate event. We focus on:
Fresh seasonal, and creative food that is as gorgeous as it is delicious. Our Executive Chef, Abe Elkomey, creates custom menus based on season and to accommodate any of your needs. Extraordinary se

rvice from the initial design process to the professional onsite staff to the spotless floors we leave behind
Customization/ Personalization to represent a lucky couple or highlight key themes or brand elements. We believe a truly unforgettable event must be tailored to reflect the personality of those hosting and in attendance
Creative event design that adds flair in areas you find most important while reducing overhead and costs where the standard approach may not be the best fit for your needs
Eye for detail that spans the care we take in making our food look perfect (its much more than the standard culinary drizzle) to the organization we bring to make a complex event look effortless. We sweat the details in advance so you can relax and enjoy your event

Whether you’re hosting an intimate cocktail party for friends, a corporate event with need-to-impress VIPs, or a formal sit-down wedding for 300 guests, we approach every event with a warmth and individually-focused attention unique to the catering industry. We appreciate your taking the time to learn about what we do and we hope to have the privilege of working with you to make your catered event unforgettable! Catering Service Lines

Our drop-off foods are designed to require minimal preparation on site and come well packed with with instructions for heating and/or assembly. Drop-off catering is a great way to get a taste of Bite for smaller or less elaborate events! Catered Food Types

Combining the elegance of a casual sit-down service with the warmth and tradition of sharing a meal with family and friends, it’s a great option when you really want a sit-down meal without the additional labor required for a formal plated dinner. We love it and would love to share some of our creative family style meals with you. STATIONS – We love our action stations! Add one to your menu to add some razzle dazzle to your menu. We love pairing stations with our apps format to create a more diverse tasting menu approach – and your guests get closer to the action with the fun of a chef-run station!

Cultivating eco-conscious standards. This evening we will be catering a summer social and our goal is to used as many locally sourced ingredients as we can. Tonight 50% of our tomatoes used were grown and hand picked by our chef from our urban garden and the other 50% are local Jersey farmers tomatoes. Any of tonight's food waste from prep and food not consumed will be composted for our garden.
