Bite Catering
Canapés, hors d’oeuvre, tapas. Whatever you call them, the party nibblies at Bite are skilfully prepared by Karen Rachlin. In fact, she's built the entire catering business around cocktail fare. With an emphasis on trends—sweet-potato fries with black truffle aïoli dip in Chinese food takeout boxes; pistachio-crusted lamb lollipops; and savoury, crispy cones with smoked salmon, crème fraîche and fresh herbs—the pair can make smaller versions of just about any food. Diminutive bites for in-home gatherings, weddings, corporate events, store openings and parties might include miniature Kobe burgers on home-baked buns, and lobster-avocado quesadillas, followed by individual caramel- and chocolate-dipped cheesecake lollipops with crushed-peanut bottoms. The company will also put together take-home gifts for guests (including candy boxes and personalized cupcakes) and can arrange all event coordination, including music, flowers and decoration.
