Meeting Metropolis Part 2

Innovative Catering Concepts, a high capacity mobile food experience
Here are some images of my catering clients from the event today. Above is Innovative's mobile food trailer which differs from most food trucks you see as they can feed up to 1000 people per hour where most trucks max out at around 100 per hour. It's a real kitchen on wheels and can be wrapped in a client's logo if desired.
ICA Caterer of the year, Feastivities Events
The folks from Feastivities are promoting two of their exclusive venues, Sigma Sound Stage, the iconic studio where some of Philly's best music was recorded and the Stotesbury Mansion, a classic venue on Rittenhouse Square.
Yours Truly promoting my new website: PhillyVenueFinder.com
The new website will be up soon for all your venue needs. Look for my venue video on You Tube in the next few days.

Feast Your Eyes served Fresh made Honey Lavendar Ice Cream, YUM!!!
Front and Palmer is Feast Your Eye's home base and a really cool venue, if you have not been there yet, you should go take a tour.

The Pennsylvania Marketplace Trade Show was a very well produced event and I was extremely impressed with the effort and expense all of the exhibitors went through to help promote Philadelphia. Very proud of our city and our hospitality and event community today. Thanks to all who made this happen.

LOVE,
Harry

Catering Governor Rendell's Inaugural Ball January 21st 2003. Part One.

Image
I intended to write this post about 6 years ago as the event's tenth anniversary was approaching. I didn't. It's still a fun story and hopefully my memory will entertain and inform you about what was the biggest and maybe best event we ever undertook and executed at Max & Me Catering. As Governor Wolf prepares for his second inaugural, it marks 16 years since we took over Harrisburg's Farm Show Complex and turned a tractor and animal manure laden event hall into a fancy full on high end catered event for Pennsylvania's movers and shakers. Governor Ed Rendell and his wife Midge at the Inaugural Ball A little background. In December 2002, Max & Me Catering had been on a 3 year run of growth and winning venue contracts, and earlier in 2002 it was announced (after having to keep it secret for almost 9 months) that we had won the plum contract perhaps in Philadelphia catering history, the National Constitution Center. Integral to our success was the addition

Bryce's Catering & Me!

Image
Simeone Automotive Museum. Bryce's Catering's top venue and a very cool space. It's been over three years since I have written in this blog. Lots of news and changes. I have been looking for a catering company to partner with for over a year now. In making my decision many factors came into play, other than compensation the most important was autonomy. So I made the decision last Friday to join Bryce's Catering out of Haverford. Having done some type of consulting/sales work for probably 18 of Philly's top 20 caterers, I feel I am uniquely qualified to teach event planners the landscape, and strengths/weaknesses of the local catering market. If you know me, you know I'm a straight shooter. Smoked Salmon! Yum! Bryce's is a full service on/off premise and drop off caterer with an over 15 year history of excellence. I would NOT join a catering firm that I can't endorse 100%. Alan Brody, the founder and owner, looks at things differently, as I do

Reminiscences of Max & Me Catering. Part VIII

Image
As we continued the process of growing Max & Me as a premier corporate catering concern in Philly, a new venue that was under construction came into my awareness in the Spring of 2001. Jaisy Styles, who at the time was with PGI, a major event planning and destination management company, told me about the National Constitution Center and that I should contact a Phil Castellano to find out about the plans for catering in the venue. Well after many calls and emails that went un-returned, I eventually found out how to get in the door. Rather than rewrite what I have already written, I'm going to regurgitate three separate Facebook posts that I wrote last year. These are what prompted me to do this series on the history of Max & Me Catering. After these three Facebook posts, (which I tried to write on anniversaries of the occurrences) I decided to just write the whole history as a blog series. Now I have reached this point, and I feel like just cutting and pasting and sharing.
