Yum.

Our friends Gary and Yen from Real Food Catering were sweet enough to invite us to a tasty evening at the Prince George Ballroom last night. It featured all of the Ballroom's preferred catering companies -- here's a basic rundown of our thoughts + some iPhone snaps!

The Prince George Ballroom is a gorgeous space on E 27th st -- photos from Amanda + Isaac's wedding to follow in next post.



(You really couldn't go wrong with any of these vendors, but our personal favorites from the night were Real Food and Ark. Mmm.)


**Real Food Catering
















Loved their smart, modern display! These plates really decorate a room. The chicken tarts were sitting on a bed of tapioca, and the tuna crackers are in a bed of Asian black beans. So pretty (and yummy).

+ Curried chicken in a flaky tart
+ Tuna and ginger on a sesame cracker




**Ark Catering

















+ Tiramisu on spoon - most delicious dessert
+ Raspberry Creme Tart
+ Cucumber with veggie/tuna blend on top -- so light and refreshing!!
+ Delicious grilled veggies and cheeses. I loved the asparagus.
+ Wide selection of tasty (but still light!) treats



Food Matters - Tuscany Station on display

















+ Locally sourced food
+ Smoked salmon with caviar and a cream cheese in a pastry shell (nommm nommm)
+ Lobster ravioli




Abigail Kirsch

















+ Pomegranate-tequila cocktail infused with ginger
+ Mac 'n cheese over beef
+ Dessert Station with caramelized popcorn



Thomas Preti
























We didn't actually try this one because we were too full by the time we got there. But it looked too good to ignore.
+ Inventive ideas, brought toasters to display their homemade poptarts
+ Homemade chicken pop tarts with hush puppies and banana pudding
+ Comprehensive plate setting so you could get the whole idea of the plate



Neuman's

















+ Beef over potato gratin with a sprinkling of delicious brussel sprouts
+ Cool, rustic woodsy table settings with pretty moss centerpieces



On the Move: Classic Rock Trio
























This fun, laid back trio played the whole evening. Super friendly and energetic.
+ Good time, instrumental group who played all the right classic hits
+ Perfect for your cocktail hour or a small restaurant reception
