Our miniature portobello quesadillas involve mushrooms with a rich, strong, earthy flavor, sliced red peppers, and carrots for color and taste on a lightly toasted corn tortilla. This dish is stylishly garnished peppers and white flowers for a summery look.

By soaking the chicken in lime, a rich zesty flavor is added to the meat making it nice and tender for our chicken skewers. After soaking, we grill the chicken which gives it a distinctive aroma. Our rich and creamy avocado dip has a lighter flavor but when paired with the skewers, they balance each other nicely. Perfect for a luau, BBQ, or summer pool party.

The first entrée we presented was a juicy, succulent sliced beef sirloin with gorgonzola cheese and bourbon sauce. What makes the sauce special is its ability to seep into the beef and give it a sweetly smooth taste. The green beans and rice on the side add variety and flavor for a complete meal. Lastly, they tried our delicious fresh wild salmon with a mustard seed horseradish crust. The mustard seed and horseradish give the salmon an intense flavor with a spicy, aromatic rustic taste. What we stress to our customers is, wild salmon is not only healthier for you, but it also tastes better. We pride ourselves in serving only the best to our clients which is why this tasting was a sensation.

The process of planning a wedding consists of many different but equally important parts.  The tasting gives the couple and their families a chance to come in and experience a sample of the food they will serve at their reception.  It is the time to make comments on preparation, presentation and most importantly taste. And the reassurance that everything on the big day will be perfect!

Here we have our Asian wok station – nine different toppings, four woks and two chefs.  Complete with small Chinese food take-out containers,chopsticks and of course a fortune cookie, it was certainly a crowd pleaser.

And no event would be complete without a delicious dessert.  For this event the client chose a selection of miniature desserts and this stunning chocolate fountain.  With dipping options including oreo cookies, marshmallows, pretzels and more, guests didn’t have to search long to satisfy their sweet tooth.

It was another great event with a truly creative and fun client.

Over the 16 years J Scott Catering has been in business, we have found our niche in the catering marketplace.  We work hard to provide stellar customer service, excellent food, and fantastic décor and design for every job.  These strengths serve us and our clients well for full-service events, specifically weddings and corporate galas.  Of course there is always something new around the corner and that unique catering request that keeps up on our toes.  I find that no matter what the client needs, our success is built around fine service and attention to the details of each situation.

I recently received a call from a long-time client who has been increasingly relying on J Scott Catering for their events, for which we are grateful.  The most recent call came from the patriarch of the family, who wanted to take some of his buddies on a “guys’ trip” and asked us to provide the food.

For me a guys’ trip would including a few friends loading up the SUV with fishing poles and decent grub, and a weekend of fighting yellowfin or SLOB striper.  This client had slightly better taste then yours truly.  His weekend included fueling up his Falcon 200DX Jet and whisking the boys – and the caterers – a few thousand miles away.

When catering for private jets, space and refrigeration are major considerations.  Since this was to be an overnight excursion, we created some tasty free range chicken dishes in compact containers, along with local artisanal cheeses and fresh prawns to start off the evening.  After a night of partying, we offered fresh fruit salad, assorted pastries, lox and bagels for the flight home.

This job was both a fun challenge and experience.  It showed that the keys to our success translate well no matter what the location.  For the time being though, I think I will stick with my fishing trips.

This is an event I really look forward to every year.  Our client is a true gem and an absolute pleasure to work with.  She gives us great flexibility in the creative process which allows us to do what we do best.  As with all of our jobs, we work to make each event unique to the personality of the client.

Our linen supplier had a stunning brand new cloth which was embroidered with beautiful leaf designs, which we incorporated for the guest tables.  We worked with a green pattern for the buffet and accented with lady apples, a dramatic topiary and clusters of pillar candles.

Our menu was highlighted by numerous stand outs for passed hors d’ oeuvres, including Warm Goat Cheese, Potato and Bacon Tart; Buffallo Mozzerella with Argula Pesto; and Grilled Scallop perched on a Stainless Steel Fork.

The dinner guest’s particularly enjoyed the Halibut Filet in Red Pepper Pesto and Balsamic Glazed Potatoes.

Dessert was a decadent composition of dishes in tiny vechiles such as Strawberry Shortcake, Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie with Vanilla Milkshake, and Pound Cake with Chocolate Drizzle.

I give tremendous credit to our service staff on this event.  They really have to hustle the entire evening due to the large footprint of the event.  They went above and beyond to ensure flawless execution.  I am very proud of them.

There are some real exciting events coming up which I looking forward to sharing, so check back soon.

Until then,

Salute

A little peek into the behind-the-scenes of what we do at J. Scott…

As an off premise caterer, we figuratively and literally bring a fully operating restaurant to your home.  One of the things that makes our company unique is our refrigerated trucks, which enables us to bring fresh foods to the event site.  Basically, we transport the prepared food to your home for cooking at the event, which provides a fresher end result for you and your guests.  Generally we commandeer the host’s garage and set up our “field kitchen,” where most of the behind-the-scenes operations occur, out of view of the guests.  Our event set up usually begins about three hours before the start of the event.  We conduct a walk through of the space with the staff, then we stage the garage and unload equipment.  We set up the bars, food stations, guest seating and cocktail seating to transform the home into a magnificent event environment.  With time to spare, we do a final walk through to ensure everything is perfect and open the first bottle of champagne for guests to celebrate.
