What’s your signature dish?
Salmon encrusted with a southwestern Cajun spice blackened and topped with a strawberry mint basil relish. Accompanied by white corn that is sliced off the cob sautéed with garlic and fresh herbs served with grilled vegetables. A side salad with a company this of baby mixed greens with a ginger soy dressing toasted pinenuts and dried cranberries. And then to finish with for a quick dessert we would serve chocolate puddle brownie cake with an espresso ganache.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
We work with the clients closely to find out exactly what it is they would truly enjoy, create the menu together and work within their budget.
What do you love most about your job?
The sounds and the accolades from the people that are enjoying our food as we have served lunch or dinner to them and they tell us that this is the most amazing thing they’ve ever had❣️ our last catering job that we get for a sit down dinner in Laguna Beach for six people came back from Italy from a truffle hunt, we prepared a fresh pasta with morels and white truffle cream sauce, they said it was the best pasta they’ve ever eaten. I thought that was a pretty tall order and a very nice complement, thank you Barbara and Michael C.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had just come back from an apprenticeship in Europe and it was 1998 I was working at the Sur La Table store in Newport Beach a friend of mine talked me into doing that I thought would be cool and I got a Lotta requests to do catering the rest of it is history. Let’s just say the first event was amazing! But I lost my shorts on that one even though they gave me an extra thousand dollars they knew they were getting a screaming deal however that is the learning curve of starting your own business, LOL
Why should our clients choose you?
I have been doing this for nearly 20 years and I have a love for what it is that I do, I am organized and methodical and after every event and I don’t mean to sound add a lesson when I say this but after every event the clients have one thing in common and they say “I’m sure glad we found you”❣️
On a separate note as a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America out of Hyde Park New York then also been trained in Germany by the same shift at Trane Wolfgang puck not to mention living in Hawaii and being trained by Chef’s over there like Sam Choy and working with Roy Yamaguchi I have a very extensive library of tools.
Thank you very much,
Chef Gregory Kalatsky
