DAVID IS AWESOME!!!!! I had to start by saying that…We worked my menu quite a few different ways and he was patient with me every step of the way. He always told me that he wanted to make me happy and he did just that. The food was out of this world!!!! He worked his magic up until a week before my wedding and you could not tell. They even had food for my nieces and nephew to have instead of making me pay for an adult meal for them. There were no stones unturned when it came to the food. All of our guest are still talking about the food and its been about 2 weeks now. I cant forget about his staff. They catered to our every need and my guest kept them busy bringing out more food for cocktail hour. Food is fresh. No pre-cooked food. All prepared at venue with his mobile kitchen…how awesome is that! At our tasting he even showed us his kitchen. Not too many chefs will do that and it was spotless….if you are planning your wedding and you need a caterer, Classic City Catering is who you need!!! Promise! – Czontel

Then apply a second layer of the squash, and then season that layer with salt and pepper. Bring cream and thyme to a simmer over moderate heat, discard thyme and pour over the squash , then top with the remainder of the cheese. Put a sheet of parchment paper over the surface of the squash and poke a fewholes over the top. Bake at 350 degrees until the squash is tender about 45 minutes. Discard the paper and let rest for 10 minutes. Serves 8

  • SMOKED SALMON FILET

    For marinade, combine all marinade ingredients and cover salmon filet completely in marinade. Let marinate for 4-8 hours. Remove the filet from the marinade and place in a baking dish. Top the salmon with the brown sugar, crushed peppercorns, dill and citrus slices. The salmon can be baked or smoked, depending on your preference. If baking, heat the oven to 325 degrees.
