The end of each school year is filled with many celebrations, to give students and faculty the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments, while indulging in some of our finest culinary creations.

Even as the year came to a close, our school food experts (aka JC Food Chefs and kitchen staff) were still hard at work. This year, we wanted to give our readers a look at some of the coolest (and most delectable) dishes created by our fabulous chefs and their staff, for some of our best-catered events yet!

For one of our schools, Chef Nancy helped to take an end of the year faculty party to a whole new level, by creating a picnic to include a steam pot filled with fresh clams, muscles, shrimp, and even corn on the cob!

Seafood Steam Pot Creation!

Using local produce, a multi-colored heirloom tomato salad perfectly complimented the steam pot and other fantastic dishes at the picnic!

In late May, one of our senior classes enjoyed a Fresh Fruit Fiesta “cocktail” party! The menu was absolutely amazing, and Chefs Nancy and Enrique put out some of the best appetizers we have ever seen! Ever heard of Fruit Gazpacho Shooters?

For this next dish, the chef used a multi-step process to create tostone “cups” (a tostone is a Latin American fried plantain), delicious Watermelon and Feta Tostones!

One school celebrated even after graduation with a post grad reception, where we created bountiful tables, and passed a wide assortment of hors d’oeuvres from brie finger sandwiches to gourmet fruit tarts.

For each event we do, our chefs always focus on creating satisfying dishes for every palate. A BIG thank you to all those who made these catered events a success!
