I drove up to Laurel Pines camp about 15 miles outside of Big Bear on Hwy 38 yesterday (Friday) to start the prep. Got there, met Steve and Pat, and went through all the supplies to check everything. The facility is  cool and the view from the kitchen area is great! The kitchen is actually pretty nice itself and has enough equipment to handle pretty big jobs – two convection ovens, one regular oven, eight burners, griddle, etc…

I got most of the rice and the salsa made on Friday before I had to set off down the hill for a family outing. I stayed out WAY too late on Friday night, got home at about 1 am and still had to print out menus for the event. Finally finished that all up about  2 am and got to bed. The alarm went off at 5:30am, and I managed to get myself into the shower and out the door by 6:00. Made a quick stop to pick up a sugar-free Rockstar, and I was off back up the hill. I made it into Laurel Pines about 7:15 am

BTW, Sysco Foods donated all the food for the event. Thanks Sysco!

I was lucky enough to have two helpers in the morning, so I set them to work on plucking the cilantro (sorry girls!). They had to work through about 3 pounds of cilantro and were pretty burnt out by the end. They never complained though! Thanks very much for your help!!!

Once the event got going, with the help of several people whose names I never even got, we managed to set up a buffet line and start rocking people through. I never got an exact number, but it seemed like the line kept coming and coming. If I had to guess, I’d say we had about 125 or so. Maybe a few more. I know that lots of them came back for seconds and thirds, so it was kind of hard to keep track!

I am so sorry that I can’t thank everyone by name here for all their help today, but I just never was able to keep track of everyone that was volunteering themselves (and a few that were volunteered by others!), but I really want to say thank you to you all. I especially want to thank the Teamster Riders that helped me out on the grill, along with all of them that came to the event! What a great group of guys and gals! I especially want to thank one of the riders, Sam. Sam worked the grill standing out in the sun and heat to the point where he actually dropped from dehydration. After a bit of rest and a quick saline drip from the ambulance crew from Big Bear City that came out, Sam was back up, but it was a really good reminder just how important it is to stay hydrated when working any outdoor event.

I also want to especially thank Lucky and Becky Lepins, who organized the whole event. It was through Becky that I found out about the Ride and I really want to thank her for letting me be a part of it. I hope that next year I will be invited back and we will have twice as many riders. All-in-all, it was a fantastic day, I got to meet a lot of really great people, we served some pretty damn fine food, and we raised a few bucks to help some folks out. Not too bad for a Saturday afternoon.

Gold Standard Catering is a food-focused catering company.

I love to feed people. I am absolutely passionate about it. I love the act of sharing food with people and the stories and experiences that come out of that. My life revolves around food. Feeding myself, or my family, or my friends is the primary focus of my day. I love it. It doesn’t matter how much work it is, or how long it takes, as long as I can make someone happy with what I have made, it’s all worth it to me. I don’t get fired up about very much, but I do about the act of creating and sharing my food. That’s why I am a caterer. I bring that passion and love of food to every meal that I prepare for my clients. I want everyone that I cater for to feel like they are special to me and to know that I am going to bring every bit of my passion to their event. I am not the biggest caterer in the business by any means, but I believe that I might just be the most passionate. I will put my passion for serving fantastic food against anyone out there.

If you are looking for someone who is the cheapest, or the biggest, or the flashiest, I am not it. If you are looking for some absolutely delicious food served with pride and hospitality, let me know and I will happy to do everything that I can to make sure that you will get it.

Take a look at my sample menus. These are some of the things that I have made that people seem to really enjoy. But I am always creating new things, so if you don’t see what you want, let know and I will be happy to see if I can make it happen.

Thanks for checking out the site and I hope to hear from you soon. I can’t wait to cook for you!
