Selected work

Named clients, named rooms.

Anyone can print a wall of logos. These are the engagements our principals actually worked, with what the job involved. Where the work predates this company, it belongs to the people who did it, and they are the people you will be hiring.

On the board now

Current engagements, not just a track record.

This is the company's own work, running now, rather than what our principals did before it existed.

Katherine Michiels School
San Francisco · Daily programme

Daily lunch and snack service, five days a week, plus the edible schoolyard and children's cooking classes.

Verdi Club
San Francisco · Menu and events

Menu design and the events programme for one of San Francisco's working event spaces.

Granja Tz’ikin
Lake Atitlán, Guatemala · Flagship

A farm-to-table restaurant and its farm running as one business, on software this company wrote. Our design practice's flagship property; the kitchen side runs the same method.

01 · Festivals and stages
Stern Grove Festival
Artist catering · Five consecutive years

Artist and crew catering across a full festival season, in a eucalyptus meadow with no permanent kitchen. Five years running, taken on after doing the same work for Live Nation. Festival catering is the hardest version of this job: the timings move all day, the riders are non-negotiable, and there is nowhere to hide a mistake.

Live Nation
Artist catering

Touring and venue catering for one of the largest promoters in the world, to the standard their production managers expect, which is the standard everything else here is built on.

The Independent, Another Planet Entertainment, SAP Center
Venue and backstage

Backstage and hospitality work in Bay Area rooms of every size, from a 500-capacity club to an arena. Different buildings, same problem: feed the people making the show, on their clock, not yours.

Lady Gaga, Kevin Hart, Chaka Khan, Raphael Saadiq, LCD Soundsystem, Flaming Lips, Chromeo, The Mother Hips, ALO
Artist hospitality

Rider-driven catering and bar for touring artists and their crews. The names are the proof, but the work is the same every time: read the rider properly, get it right first time, and stay out of the way.

02 · Corporate and civic
Google CRIT Fest
Corporate event catering

Campus event catering at the scale and the compliance standard a company like Google requires, which is a different discipline from a wedding and a useful thing to have already survived.

SXSW and Marfa Film Festival
Festival hospitality · Texas

Hospitality across both ends of Texas, including Marfa, where the nearest proper supplier is several hours away and everything has to be planned before you leave. Our founder ran restaurants in that town, which is why we can work there at all.

Ford, Sony Music, Sapporo, Boudin Bakery, Disney, Pixar, NBA
Brand and corporate

Launches, activations and brand events where the food is part of the impression being made, and where the client has a marketing team watching every detail.

UCSF, SF Symphony, Gundlach Bundschu, Libra Foundation, Send It! Foundation
Institutional and non-profit

Galas, benefits and institutional events, where the budget is scrutinised and the guest list matters more than the spectacle.
