As You Like It Catering/Grub Restaurant

When I was asked to plan the Holiday Party for my networking group, I was referred to Betty Fraser of Grub and Bravo's Top Chef. She and her partner, Denise Decarlo, in addition to Grub, own this wonderful catering company.

I was pretty nonspecific about the menu. I said I wanted "hearty appetizers" and that I love any sort of seared ahi dish...but that was it. The menu Betty created from there was creative and unspeakably delicious. We had:

Seared ahi on wonton crisps, baby white truffle burgers, white gazpacho with macadamia nuts, quesadillas diablos, lemon rosemary chicken drumettes, roasted vegetable pizza, open faced charcuterie sandwiches on French baguette with prosciutto, oven roasted grape tomatoes, sage aioli and caramelized onions, and for dessert, profiteroles.

Everything was phenomenal, but the favorite of the bunch was the baby white truffle burgers. Even a fitness coach at the party commented that he couldn't stop eating them!

There was also so much food, everyone gorged themselves, and there were still leftovers!

The best part is, I ended up looking good because the food was so good! Now that's worth every penny! ;)
