Getting married? Time to start planning your big day!

Planning your wedding day can be a daunting, intimidating and stressful experience. Don’t let the stress ruin the fun of organising your big day! At Dean’s Catering in Los Angeles we have compiled a short list of the main points to remember when planning your wedding!

ONE – Establish your budget

The first thing that should be established is your wedding budget, figuring out the numbers on how much you want to spend and how much you can afford will serve as a great guideline to drawing up the plans to your perfect wedding.

TWO – Compile your guest list

It can’t be a wedding without witnesses! Sit down with your partner and determine how many guests you both want there on the day, and begin writing up your list.

THREE – Feed your guests

An important step to remember is to feed your guests! At Dean’s Catering we know how stressful it can be trying to find the perfect food menu or whether to go buffet or sit down dinner. To help you out, we can do either!

Our menus are comprehensive and we can even design your own menu to your specific requirements. We can also help organize marquees, tables, chairs and other facets of catering so you don’t have to!

Are your crew sluggish, unmotivated and lacking morale?

It can be difficult to rally together a cast and crew that work unanimously and efficiently. That is why at Dean’s Catering we have compiled a short list of the three main tips to keep your cast and crew smiling and working.

ONE – Talk to your cast and crew!

Communication really is the key to keep those wheels and cogs oiled in the film production machine. Always offer feedback and provide as much information as possible. Film production is a team effort, and it is imperative that everyone be on the same page to help everything flow as smooth as possible.

TWO – Don’t overwork the cast or crew!

No one works well after a 20 hour day, and to ensure you get the very best from your cast and crew it is imperative they work practical hours so your crew are ready, willing and energetic.

THREE – Feed your crew!

At Dean’s Catering in Los Angeles, we know how important good food is to a good film production crew. Built to provide nutrition and sustenance as well as taste, our menus are compiled to provide an array of choice to your employees. Keep them well fed with our film production catering service and they will keep working!

Gain the best out of your crew with Dean’s Catering, where we hand pick the food we cook so you get the most delicious and nutritious meal possible.

The century old business invests in food safety to be proactive

108 years in business and still going strong, the food giant Hungenberg Produce has invested $1 million into food safety upgrades at their warehouses. Hungenberg Produce has never experienced a recall of vegetables or a halt in production due to food safety violations.

The expensive upgrades were not a result of new federal or state regulations. Instead they came from the heart, the company wanting to leave anything to chance. At Dean’s Catering in Los Angeles, we completely understand not leaving anything to chance, as we ourselves hand pick the produce that we use for our clients!

First there were vegetarians, vegans and even freegans!

Locavores are the new generation of picky eaters! A locavore is a person interested in eating food that is locally produced, not moved long distances to market. The locavore movement in the United States and elsewhere was spawned as interest in sustainability and eco-consciousness became more prevalent.

Recently an Alaskan woman became a locavore for a week, by strictly consuming only locally sourced food!

The local librarian decided to become a locavore for a week for ‘amusement’ and sustained herself on locally grown cabbage, eggs and tomatoes for a week. Although she said she craved sugar and oil the entire week, she estimates that the short term lifestyle change caused her to drop 20 pounds in a week!

At Dean’s Catering located in LA, we strive to provide the freshest and healthiest local produce in our delicious dishes.

When you eat well, you perform well, which is why many LA production companies choose Dean’s Catering to fuel their staff. Our delicious menus are packed full of healthy and tasty dishes such as:

• Duck & Brie Quesadillas with Mango Salsa

Is your mouth watering yet? Best of all, our dishes are not only tasty- they are also good for you!

At our production catering company located in L.A. we are all about fresh, healthy produce- and it seems that the former president and chief operating officer of Macdonald’s is too!

After a thirty year career at the world’s biggest fast food chain, Mike Roberts has said good bye to Ronald Macdonald and hello to a new food project. But don’t let the 30 year history of greasy burgers and fries fool you, Mike’s next project is a group of restaurants that offer low-calorie, locally sourced and sustainably grown food and wine!

From Big Mac’s to green, clean eating…

What may seem like a quantum leap is not in fact so far removed from Mike Robert’s last position, where he spearheaded the addition of new healthier options to the Macdonald’s menu including salads, apple dippers and fruit and yogurt parfait. On the menu at the new healthy fast food restaurants will be grilled salmon and quinoa wraps all served at an average speed of 8.5 minutes from ordering.

At Dean’s Catering located in L.A., we believe that all food should be wholesome, delicious and healthy!

We offer a range of health inspired menus to suit any occasion or – if you prefer – our chefs can design a unique and personalized menu for your special event!
