Herberger Theatre 20th Anniversary

Santa Barbara Catering Company recently catered a luncheon at the Herberger Theater Center in downtown Phoenix. The Herberger Theater Center is a non-profit organization whose main focus is to support and foster the growth of performing arts in Phoenix as the premier performance venue, arts incubator and arts advocate. The Herberger Theater Center has contributed to the cultural and educational development of the Valley since 1989. Each year, approximately 175,000 patrons, including 30,000 school-aged children share the unique experience of live performing arts.

The 20th anniversary celebration luncheon took place on Center Stage to honor its patrons and to induct Richard Mallery into the Performing & Broadcast Arts Hall of Fame.  Entertainment was provided by SCAN Originals.

The afternoon was filled with appreciation and warm admiration for all patrons involved. The menu included Chilled Avocado Soup topped with Cilantro Cream and Toasted Pepita’s, a Greek Salad that had not only Kalamata Olives and Roasted Tomatoes but also Grilled Shrimp served on mixed greens with Soft Feta and Garlic Hummus. To top it all off, guests received a rich, layered Chocolate Mousse topped with Whipped Cream and a Hazelnut Crunch.

All proceeds from the luncheon went to benefit the Herberger Theater Center’s Youth Outreach programs.

Santa Barbara Catering Caters ISES Meeting at The Farm

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Healthy eating and sustainable foods were among the topics discussed by the Arizona Chapter of the International Special Events Society at its inspiring meeting this month.  Arizona’s professionals gathered to relax, enjoy delicious food and discuss personal balance. Santa Barbara Catering was happy to share its exquisitely made cuisine while industry peers gathered and discussed sustainable living, time management and healthy cooking.

Santa Barbara’s fare truly highlighted the healthy eating discussions with dishes such as Lemon Parmesan Chicken Skewers with Garlic, Baked Brie en Croûte with Apricot Preserves, and fresh cheese and fruit platters—perfect examples of why Santa Barbara was the right choice for the ISES meeting.

We at Santa Barbara pride ourselves in providing innovative and delicious cuisine with our clients’ goals always in mind and are glad to have done this at the ISES meeting.

The night was sensational. The combination of The Farm at South Mountain’s peaceful surroundings and Santa Barbara’s delightful fare provided both a serene atmosphere and tasty delights.
