for vegans these days **
#VEGAN Plant Based eating takes on a whole new meaning with the rise of clean eating, local and sustainable food options, seasonal vegetable offerings and today's health conscious consumer. More and more of our clients realize that they have to provide a range of food options for their guests from meat eaters to vegans, special low carb eaters, paleo eaters, guests with "clean eating" habits, plant based eating, vegetarians and vegans.
In reality, vegan food and plant based eating options were never just for vegans only... But todays consumers expect sexier and more delicious options than ever before!
- If you create delicious, healthy enticing food offerings,
most guests will enjoy the vegan tableau experience too.
...Sometimes as a supplement to the meat, chicken and fish
- often they might not even miss carnivore options.
At recent New York City and metro area events we've noticed this trend
.... the veggie options are gobbled up first!
Vegan catering offerings can satisfy a variety of dietary issues
and we typically encourage our clients to include
some gluten free, vegan, nut free, low carb and vegetarian selections in
their menus to cover special diets requests that often
come up at catered events.
