From stocks to sauces, dressings, and dough, we cook from scratch in each location. Our approach to food allows us to provide fresh foods from whole ingredients.
We take food allergies seriously. If you or your guests have a food allergy, it is important to let our catering team know so we can make the necessary preparations before your event. Since everything is cooked from scratch onsite, our chefs can easily tell you what ingredients are in a specific dish and make modifications if needed.
For our guests with celiac disease or other gluten intolerances, we offer menu items that have been prepared without gluten-containing ingredients. Please note that our menu items are not guaranteed gluten-free, as defined by the FDA, because we prepare and handle products containing gluten in in an open kitchen environment.
Turkey and chicken are produced without the routine use of antibiotics as a feed additive. Pork and beef are raised without antibiotics as a first preference. All seafood purchases, wild and farmed, follow the sustainability guidelines of the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch Program. Turkey and beef are roasted in-house daily for deli meat. Milk and yogurt are from cows not treated with artificial bovine growth hormone. Eggs are produced cage-free and are certified by humane farm animal care, food alliance or animal welfare approved.
Bon Appétit has long been the role model for responsible sourcing in the food service industry. Our path towards greater sustainability started as a quest for flavor. When cooking from scratch, you want the very best ingredients. That led us to launch our Farm to Fork program in 100 – long before local food became the welcome trend it is today. Our years of working directly with farmers and ranchers opened our eyes to the many problems of our modern food supply: while it is abundant and cheap, it has many hidden costs. We believe we can deliver fantastic food and wonderful service while also helping make our food system better. It’s a tall order, but we do love a challenge. As Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; inddd , it is the only thing that ever has.”
Just a few of the farm partners that we have created longstanding relationships within Southern California include:
Underwood Family Farms | Moorpark / Somis McGrath Family Farms | Oxnard Meiji Tofu | Gardena
Villa Romano Green Farms | San Clemente Kenter Canyon Farms | Simi Valley Coleman Family Farms | Carpinteria
