At Dean’s Catering we are all for healthy and nutritious food, which is why we find these dishes so crazy!

It’s no secret that we at Dean’s Catering are dedicated to providing healthy, nutritious and delicious food for our clients. That is why when we came across these monster recipes for unhealthy and incredibly high-carb meals, they were so crazy and ridiculous we felt the need to share them!

3. The Luther Double Down

This contains two pieces of deep fried chicken, with bacon and two pieces of cheese in between, topped with a generous serve of mayonnaise – all nestled between two halves of a Krispy Kreme donut.

2. Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick

A sausage on a stick wrapped up in a pancake – available in original or choc chip.

1. Hot Beef Sundae

Just imagine – golden mashed potatoes covered with a generous portion of roasted and seasoned to perfection top round beef. Add aged cheddar cheese, more golden mashed potatoes smothered with beef gravy, more aged cheddar cheese, a slice of buttered toast and a cherry tomato on top.

These and other foods are causing fatigue, attention deficits and overall procrastination/lack of productivity across the country. That is why at Dean’s Catering in Los Angeles we are committed to only sourcing the freshest and healthiest foods possible, by hand-picking organic fruits and vegetables we are giving your cast and crew the best possible chance at getting their work done.

We all know that superhero movies are becoming more and more popular, so it’s only natural super foods should be next…

With film production on an all-time superhero high, movies such as The Watchmen, The Incredibles and The Punisher have all seen actors buffing up or slimming down for roles. This is why at Dean’s Catering in Los Angeles we provide a myriad of healthy and delicious menus to cater for every superhero!

We all know superheroes need super food, which is why at Dean’s Catering we have found and compiled a list of the top five super foods!

1. Acai

This exotic berry found in the Amazon includes a remarkable concentration of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Considered one of the best offerings to combat premature aging and aid in brain activity, it’s no wonder it is considered a super food!

2. Yoghurt

Fantastic to help keep away common colds and other illnesses, yoghurt contains active ‘friendly bacteria’ to restore health to the digestive system.

3. Broccoli

Loaded with vitamin C, folic acid and carotenoids (which are full of vitamin A), broccoli can protect your cells from damage of bacteria and enhance the immune system.

4. Lentils

A great source for cholesterol-lowering fibre and lean protein, lentils also contribute to heart health and the improvement of blood flow, oxygen and nutrients.

5. Blueberries

Full of ellagic acid, the blueberry can help fight cancer and also has anti-inflammatory properties to help prevent infection from harmful bacteria.

Make your cast and crew work like superheroes on your production! With the help of Dean’s Catering, providing healthy, nutritious sustenance for your team has never been easier!

Ensure you get the most out of your cast and crew with healthy and nutritious foods

At Dean’s Catering in Los Angeles, we are committed to providing our clients with high quality, delicious foods to satisfy their teams. That is why we have compiled the best foods to help your cast and crew stay focused throughout the day!

Natural sugars enhance alertness

Don’t get this confused with white sugar – the silent killer. We are talking glucose, which your body metabolizes from sugars and carbohydrates. A glass of juice or other natural sweet drinks can help boost memory, thinking process and mental ability!

Fish boosts brain function

Rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, fish is vital for brain function and development. Higher dietary omega 3 acids are linked to lower dementia and stroke risks; slower mental decline and may enhance memory.

Avocados and whole grains

Consuming a diet high in whole grains and fruits can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and help lower cholesterol levels.

Make sure you are ready for a big day on set!

At Dean’s catering, we understand that film production rosters fluctuate, and to ensure you are ready for your day on set you should:

• Get a good night’s sleep

• Exercise to help sharpen thinking
• Keep clear-minded and stay relaxed

At Dean’s Catering in Los Angeles, we are dedicated to help your crew and cast stay focused, productive and alert by providing highly nutritious and delicious menus which can be customized to suit your preferences.

Get the most out of your cast and crew with a caterer who knows what they need.
