Food Cart at your Wedding?

Imagine the feeling you had when you were a kid and the ice cream truck turned the corner on your street, jingling its tune as it approached your house with delicious, summer treats. What if you could introduce some of that nostalgia into your wedding day by featuring a food cart instead of a buffet? Your guests could saunter up to the truck and order off the designated menu. We think it’s a fun idea and perfectly fits this lovely town of Portland who has been smitten with food carts for several years. Imagine the cart decorated with your colors and possibly an image projected onto the side. There are a vast many of ideas you could do with a food cart. And go figure, we are one of the only Portland caterers in town who has one. Give us a call and inquire about it. We’d love to roll up to your wedding with a truck brimmed with mouthwatering cuisine inspired by a symphony of local ingredients; basically, treats for adults.

Crave Catering on KOIN 6 Saturday the 17th at 9am!

Crave Catering will be discussing catering at private residences on the “Weddings Portland Style” segment this Saturday at 9 am on KOIN Local 6. Our very own Mark Lopez, the proud founder and owner, will be sharing our success stories and thoughts on how we allow the hostess to be the mostest and also a guest at her own party. If you’re throwing a party, it’s much more fun to get the house ready, pick the flowers, decorate and then enjoy each one of your guests as the event transpires. After a long day of entertaining, laughing and having a great time, it’s a downer to clean. We do all that for you so you can truly enjoy the day.

Check out the show and when you’re ready for your next party, give us a call!

Crave Catering’s Favorite Chocolate Truffles

Oh how these truffles at Missionary Chocolates are decadent. Your knees will shake and your eyes will water with joy as you savor each delightful bite. We could eat them all day, but probably shouldn’t. It’s really tough with the large variety of irresistible and incredible flavors they create: sweet raspberry, espresso, “Meyer Lemon Explosion” and so much more. In fact, one of our favorites is the salted caramel truffle. This isn’t your ordinary salt. Get this: it’s Madagascar and vanilla bean-infused sea salt. Now that is a salt to die for. And the caramel is simmered into the chocolate so it blends perfectly.  Read more...
