Happenings

Thanks to all who attended our April 21st LRE Tasting Party at Dogpatch Studios. It was a spectacular warm evening in San Francisco with an incredible view of downtown!

The chefs prepared a beautiful Asian inspired menu of…

pork belly pizetta with fava greens, spring garlic, fried peppers, and green olives

 
oolong tea smoked black cod spoons with pea puree and cilantro salad

 
full belly farm asparagus eggrolls with sieved egg hollandaise

 
mini five spice chicken banh mi with cilantro, jalapeno, cucumber and carrots

Neighborhood favorite, Yield Wine Bar, was pouring exclusive green wines from their collection.

Karin Kamb from Almitas brought the latest from her handmade selection of silk florals with vintage buttons, a wonderful (and green) alternative to corsages, boutineirres, and hair adornments.

It wasn’t just the food that brought the night alive, Creative Lighting Design washed the room in color, and Uptempo Productions brought the beats– classic Jazz on vintage vinyl of course! Thanks to our friends at Gertrude & Mabel for capturing the night and showcasing their albums for guests to peruse.

This event is in celebration of LRE Catering’s recent recognition as a SF Green Certified business (we’re very excited!).
