This lunch for 50 took place in the most quintessential old Hollywood kind of house. It’s actually the official Absolute Vodka house where we have been doing many exciting events this year that range from Grammy parties, to Academy Award parties and everything in between. Basically, celebrity driven lunches, dinners and all night ragers. The house, overlooking much of Hollywood, glam intact, was meant for it. We love cooking here! This buffet was for a particular esteemed actor and featured items primarily from our Seasonal Menu for July. Below is the play by play. Best part is that all of these items are available for Drop-Off, and by the way, will be the focus of a new brick and mortar coming your way soon.
