What’s cooking in the kitchen?

One chef and twenty six hundred meals

Serenitea Catering was asked to make two thousand six hundred meals for the staff of Washington’s largest Japanese Animation Convention held yearly in Seattle at the Washington State Convention Center in the heart of downtown Seattle.

Over the course of four days, Head Chef Teresa Potter made: traditional style Tokyo style udon, ramen, sausage stir-fry, vegetable curry, and Indian style curry, meatballs in our signature meatballs in Thai chili sauce, along with other comfort foods, scrambled eggs and pancakes, crepes, cheese and sausage ravioli, rice porridge, Panini sandwiches, organic oatmeal and fresh fruit, meat and cheese quesadilla with our signature market fresh salsa, and to go lunch box assortments.

The four hundred volunteers staffed this twenty-four hour a day, three-day long cultural montage of pop and traditional cultural activities appreciated the food graciously. Our job was to keep them well fed and alive, and we were happy to take on this task.
