Yesterday we catered the US Golf Association’s Woman’s Amiture along with a number of other great vendors at the stunningly beautiful Chambers Bay Golf Course. (They hosted the US Open a few years ago.) The views are spectacular!

Fortunately it was cooler, only the mid 80s, as opposed to last weekend’s mid to high 90s that roasted us while catering the VIP tents and a few pit crews at the NHRA drag races.

Most of the Cafe Pacific team had a wonderful time celebrating our Chef’s 20th Anniversary of employment with us.

Miguel Roman, our business has grown due to your amazing hard work, reliability and creativity. We have survived set back after set back due to your perseverance and dedication. We have become known for our food thanks to your talent for creating delicious dishes. “Here’s to many, many more years of successful collaboration.”🍾🥂 We love you!

We started out at a new Auburn business, Sea Axe, for some axe throwing fun. Surprisingly, it is A LOT of fun to throw axes at a target. Who knew. We then literally walked across the street to Vinifera Wine Bar & Bistro for the party. While Miguel knew about the party he did not know of some of the people invited. Plus, it was also his birthday! A fortunate coincidence that the date we could close for the party also happened to be his birthday. SO COOL! It was a very special time honoring and celebrating our remarkable Chef with current and long past, co-workers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Miguel Roman!

‘Tis the season for our hand dipped corn dogs. And they are sooo good!

06/25/2022

Due to the extensive damage to our compressor and the fact we are relocating it inside our building it will be, hopefully, only weeks before it is repaired and our walk-ins are up and running. (Of course we are in our busy season.)

Since it is extremely difficult, let alone dangerous, to handle food (especially hot pans) into the refrigerated container we had to rent via a ladder, Hatch single handedly built stairs with a small deck today. Good thing he had all that spare time and $$$$.😖 (There is nothing the man can’t cook, repair or build!)

06/23/2022

It is beyond demoralizing for a company that has done nothing but create a 100+ good paying jobs; create huge amount of TAX dollars as well as happily donate food & service to many many nonprofit organizations for over 32 years, to NOT be backed up by the very city(s) they have always supported.

YET AGAIN, our company has been vandalized to the tune of thousands and thousands of dollars. That does not even begin to to take into account the TIME, that we do not have, to keep business going while repairing/replacing the damage. We are critically understaffed to boot!

This time they annialated our compressor which is out behind our building, unfortunately, not on the roof. They cut out the copper and electricity and just destroyed the entire compressor which powers our two 8’x12’ walk-in refrigerators as well as our building’s air conditioning system.

We moved the ENTIRE two rooms of refrigerated food to our refrigerated truck. It did not fit. Hatch had to frantically find a refrigerated trailer to rent, immediately. (Oh well business-of-the-day.) AGAIN, all that food had to be transferred to the trailer. The labor alone!!?! Food is heavy. The time wasted!!?!

The a-holes that demolished our compressor knew what they were after. They also must have a place to sell the stolen copper. They had tools. They will not caught, let alone brought to justice.

Hatch, of course, called 911 first thing this morning. He was immediately put on hold for a number of minutes. He was then answered by an automated system. When the police officer finally showed up he did his best but was callled to a more urgent emergency while helping us. Oh well. We know we’re on our own in Auburn.

We now think we need to erect a 12’ tall electric fence around our entire nearly one acre property to secure it. We also should install lights so every inch of our property can be seen from the moon. That is not enough. Motion detector cameras are needed every where. (We were in the process of fencing a section of our parking lot to secure our vehicles from numerous other thefts/vandalisms.) Clearly, just fencing in our vehicles will not be sufficient.

This is NOT an emergency dispatcher or police force issue. This an UNDERFUNDING issue of our city’s vital first response departments.

Cafe Pacific Catering has been operating in Auburn, Washington, since 2004.

NO words any more.

OUTRAGEOUS!!! Another one of our catering vans was vandalized and drained of fuel in BROAD DAY LIGHT while parked at a large venue in Tacoma during an event! Hatch had to go there in the evening after a very long hard day to deal with it since it can’t be driven. Three thefts and vandalizations in six weeks! We’re down to two operating catering vans from five. Once again it will take more time, more $$$$, more police and insurance phone calls and reports, more van rentals, MORE TIME that we do not have on top of being severely short staffed! WTF

05/22/2022

TOOO much theft!!! Last week we paid nearly $1,800 to fix the repairs of our returned STOLEN van to only have it stolen, AGAIN, FOUR DAYS LATER!!?! WHAAA??!!!!?! This is the countless time over the last few years. Our business is located on a major north/south throughfare, Auburn Way North, Auburn, Washington.

The was fabulous today! It was wonderful to be back at an in-person conference and trade show seeing long time industry friends and meeting new ones while introducing our business to many prospective clients. We offered charcuterie cups which were very well received. A BIG shoutout to Butler Events for organizing the conference and CORT Party Rentals for the beautiful shelving unit and linens for our booth.
