ISES Orange County Chapter Event at Jay's Catering in Garden Grove, CA

ISES's Orange County Chapter held an event last Thursday at Jay's Catering in Garden Grove, CA. We were in for a treat. Not only was the event sponsored beautifully by some great vendors, we had the opportunity for a Back of the House tour of Jay's Catering.

The pretty linens and accents were provided by GBS Linens in Anaheim, CA.

After the celebrations, we moved through the grounds of Jay's Catering with dessert stations hidden throughout the location. So fun!

This is the Torched S'more station.

These rice crispy treats on sticks were just on display but I loved 'em so much I just had to take a picture to show you!

The facility is pretty amazing and immaculately clean. Just to show you a bit of the massive work that goes into preparing one dish, here's a snap of the broccoli salad prep in action. I don't think I have ever seen a bigger bowl.

Here's an unexpected element on display that is so eye catching and very useful: 3 boards of fabrics in different colors and textures.

Thank you ISES-OCC and Jay's Catering for a wonderful event!
