2024 Spoon In Review: This was something fun and different, a cheese and wine tasting for 50 ladies. We drew upon our extensive wine drinking experience to select six unique wines with perfect cheese pairings, and got to show off our vintage glassware.

2024 Spoon In Review: Last July was our 13th year catering the Dairy Cares Garden Party, a fundraiser for Children’s Hospital. We make apps, full meal, and late night snacks for 500+ guests, at a private home. We’re so proud that our donations and food have helped raise over $3 million! First photo is Ahi Tuna Tahitian Style.

2024 Spoon In Review: every new year we make a resolution to take more photos and to post online, but it never happens. So this time, we decided to take a look back at some of our favorite events from 2024. This event was a business dinner at a private home.

What a beautiful day to forage! These ramps will be made into pesto that we’ll jar and use on our menu all year. Yummy on cedar smoked salmon!

We’re starting to harvest the first heirloom tomatoes from our “Spoongarden!” Every year we grow 2-3 dozen varieties to serve our guests (and eat ourselves). There’s nothing finer than a fresh tomato! Pictured: Green Zebra, New Big Dwarf, Sunrise Bumblebee, Gold Rush, and a mystery plant (maybe Cherokee Purple).

Today is our 11 year business anniversary! On this day in 2009 we catered our first big event, a wedding for 350 guests — we must have been crazy!

We just catered an amazing and fun wedding with a 6-course dinner and seafood bar. From the bride: "You and your team were INCREDIBLE. In every way possible. The food was to die for. The kind faces and impeccable service did not go unnoticed. It felt like we were dining at the best restaurant in the world. You made our wedding so special and we will always be so grateful to you for that. Thank you again x1000!"

We’re raising money and awareness for the De Pere Fire Relief Fund, assisting our neighbors who lost their homes and businesses to last week’s tragic fire. Today we were proud to donate over $1000 from a fundraiser we organized this week, thanks to our wonderful clients who participated!

The story fades from the headlines, but the suffering will continue for many months. Please consider donating and sharing to spread awareness:

The Runaway Spoon garden is really producing! Right now we're harvesting 17 of the 24 heirloom tomato varieties that we're growing this year, and the bigger tomatoes are just starting to ripen. There are few things as delicious as a fresh tomato, and the variety of flavors and textures is amazing. Coming to an event near you!
