Catering by Design had the honor of being a Platinum Sponsor at this years’ Neuse Ryder Cup. As one of the best Raleigh special event catering companies, we love being involved with local communities in the Triangle.
This annual tradition was established in 2001 to create a unique golf experience based on a few simple premises; respect, fellowship and enjoyment; rivalry and pride – North vs. South. Their mission is to create long-term value and provide support for the Clayton Community by:
-
Funding scholarships for deserving Clayton High School seniors
- Rewarding outstanding Clayton teachers & their assistants who demonstrate a
passion for education -
Supporting the development of Junior Golf in the Clayton Community
Mother nature tried her hardest to rain on our parade, but like the Postal Service, we deliver in rain, sleet or snow. After moving the buffet three times, we were finally able to serve the participants and volunteers a superb meal. Check out the video of the venue tent collapsing, located at the bottom of the page.
The golfers were served a variety of light and heavy Hors d’ Oeuvres. The golden Grilled Tuscan, Pita and Focaccia Breads were paired with Spinach Artichoke, Hummus and Tomato Basil Spreads. The BBQ “Birdie” Meatballs were devoured within minutes.
After the apps were finished we moved on to the first tee; a bed of Fresh Summer Greens, tossed with Mozzarella, Cucumbers, Carrots and Tomatoes, and drizzled in our homemade Red Wine Vinaigrette.
The “back 9” entrees featured two pastas – Hand Breaded Chicken Parmesan and Baked Manicotti with Spinach and Mozzarella. We also set up an interactive carving station for the Rosemary Roasted Beef. The golfers enjoyed the piles of roast beef as mini-sliders topped with Balsamic Onion Marmalade, Horseradish and Whole Grain Mustard Sauces. Entrees were matched with a Sauté Vegetable Medley and Tuscan Bread on the side.
Raleigh Special Event Catering Tip: One of the hottest food trends for 2014 are miniatures. These smaller versions of their bigger selves pack more of a punch with your guests. Everyone enjoys little finger foods.
Desserts were a delectable tray of minis eclairs, cannolis, brownie and pie squares.
By the end of the day, the clouds moved on, the sun shined down and everyone was happy and full of great food. It was a week of great golf, community service and good eating.
