I am a caterer… and I love food. What a strange choice of professions for someone who loves food.

I am serious. Restaurateurs are artists, dream chasers, schmoozers, and often talented folk who have guile and risk tolerances way beyond most sane people. Caterers are bottom line people, boring, and rational; and more than willing to reheat frozen, boxed, and canned food. There is a reason caterers and restaurateurs don’t hang out. The restaurant chef primarily cares how the food tastes, the caterer primarily cares how much it costs and if there is enough.

Here I am, a caterer who wants to serve beautiful, seasonal, local, and tasty dishes, but who also wants to make a living and refuses to reheat bagged mashed potatoes. So far, so good. The little itty bitty business I cobbled together two and a half years ago seems to have grown roots, and I think it may just do ok in the years to come, even if the bottom line is ignored more than the other guys...

[I own Graze Catering, and I am the chef (plus a bunch of other less important sounding titles).]

The goal of this blog is to introduce you to culinary adventures here in the WW Valley through the porthole view of Graze Catering. Come back soon for another post of literary mediocrity, or travel onward to the Graze blog for instant (and free) access to lots and lots of literary mediocrity!!!

Cheers
