[caption id="attachment_3113" align="alignright" width="307"] Ready to Serve You Safely![/caption] Reopening day always seemed to be pushed back again and again!  Finally, at last, it is upon us! Now is the time to safely and responsibly catch up on all the major events we’ve missed in the past 15 months.   A backyard party to finally be able to hug friends. A company dinner to meet colleagues in person and not in a small box. A catered wedding receiption to properly tie the knot with friends and family. Whatever the occasion, Aurora Catering can whip up specially made dishes just for you. [caption id="attachment_3111" align="alignleft" width="230"] Beautiful Appetizers to Please Your Guests[/caption] How about starting with a beautiful cheese board, which has crisp, housemade croutons and unique artisanal cheeses? Or locally farmed grilled vegetables, served with housemade hummus.  Or how about some chicken or shrimp skewers, marinated so long we’re sad to see them go. Who can resist the perfect BLT with aioli, crisp smoked to perfection bacon, fresh arugula and sweet cherry tomatoes. Appetizers are not only an awesome way to start a meal, but can set the tone for the whole event. Now for the main course, it’s go big or go home (I think we’ve spent enough time at home). In the mood for steak? Try our Filet Mignon, cooked the way your guests like it and served with a side of horseradish sour cream. Dig into Braised Beef Short ribs, sure to impress all your guests. More of a seafood person? Don’t worry, we’ve also got you covered with market fresh fish straight from the ocean and cooked any way you want. Want something lighter? Why not have guests create their own taco with an Interactive Taco Bar. [caption id="attachment_3112" align="alignright" width="230"] Chef Marty Grills Steaks Live[/caption] A great main course has to have the perfect sides. Balance it all out with a classic Caesar or custom garden salad. Potatoes never disappoint, and you can choose anything from a delicious potato gratin to roasted mini potatoes. Feeling adventurous?   Try our Heirloom Tomato Poke Salad - it will be sure to leave guests wanting more. End your event with a sweet treat! Consider triple chocolate brownies that just melt in your mouth. In season poached pears served with a luscious caramel sauce. A strawberry shortcake made with the finest strawberries. Or just get them all! There is always room for dessert. We know your event is one of a kind, so why not create a one-of-a-kind menu. We hope we have sparked some inspiration for your next event. Food is definitely one of the most important aspects - if not the most - of your event.  We will be able to cater to all your needs, from consultation to clean-up.  Find sample menus for inspiration and much more at www.auroracateringbayarea.com.
