The magic doesn’t just happen in our kitchen. It starts with the people in it.

This Chef Appreciation week, we’re celebrating the incredibly talented team behind every chop, stir, sear, sauce, garnish, new recipe, and perfectly finished plate that leaves our kitchen.

They create. They problem-solve. They move FAST. And somehow, they make feeding thousands of people every day look easy. (We promise, it’s not!)

To the chefs who bring the flavor, creativity, and heart to the CBM kitchen every single day, we appreciate you SO much!

Happy Chef Appreciation week to our incredible culinary team!

How do you know a catering company is heading into a SOLD OUT weekend? 👀

There will be signs. Lots and lots of signs.

A little behind-the-scenes look at what “busy” looks like before the magic leaves the building. Special shoutout to our amazing warehouse team for all their work to set our event teams up for success!! We appreciate you!

Sold out looks great on us!

Why is a catering company posting boat content? 🛥️

Because when our sales team absolutely CRUSHES some big goals, we celebrate accordingly. 💪

Our Q2 Goal Getters reward = an afternoon cruising Lake Michigan with an incredible team, plenty of snacks (obviously), great conversation, and a whole lot of laughing and living together.

Work hard. Hit goals. Go on a boat! ⚓️🥂

POV: Its August at a catering company. It’s hot. And naturally, we’re prepping for Christmas today. 🎄🤣

A little behind-the-scenes at today’s holiday photoshoot because while you’re still ordering Aperol spritzes, we’re already thinking about croquembouche, buche de Noel, gingerbread, holiday parties + all things festive.

A little Christmas in August new. Lots of holiday fun coming soon.

It starts with one plate.

Then another.

And another.

Until hundreds of guests sit down to a dinner that feels effortless.

CBM Pro Tip: Preset your first course to keep dinner flowing, guests happy, and the dance floor full.
Less waiting. More dancing. 💃 🕺

Summer, served.

Every memorable meal begins with thoughtful details.

Today’s feature: Bread
INDIVIDUAL BREAD SERVICE V
Freshly baked epi baguette and sea salt flatbread served with herb butter, garnished with crushed pink peppercorn and fresh thyme.

Sometimes the simplest course makes the biggest impression. Our favorite summer plated bread course welcomes guests to the table with warmth, comfort, and a thoughtful touch of summer. The addition of fresh herbs and vibrant pink peppercorns transforms a familiar favorite into just a little bit more because true hospitality is found in the details.

Beautiful enough to photograph. Delicious enough to remember.

Summer, Served.

When ingredients are at their peak, simplicity becomes something extraordinary.

Today’s spotlight: Salad.
STUFFED CUCUMBER SALAD V | GF
Romaine, Boston bibb, radicchio and red leaf lettuce, herbed goat cheese stuffed English cucumber, roasted red beet cubes, and Ch*****ne dijon vinaigrette. Garnished with sliced radish butterflies, grape tomatoes, edible florals, and beet paint.

This salad celebrates the colors, freshness, and flavors of the season with every bite. It’s proof that the best summer dishes don’t need to be complicated; the ingredients themselves can be crafted to be exceptional.

Summer, Served.

There’s just something about hors d’oeuvres. They’re our favorite course, the first impression, the conversation starter, and the bite guests remember long after the party is over.

Today’s spotlight: Hot hors d’oeuvres
BEET CURED SALMON GF
Crispy duck fat potato mille feuille, lime dill creme fraiche, and caviar.

Bright, colorful, fresh, rich, and perfectly balanced, it’s everything we love about summer in one unforgettable bite. Thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and designed to set the tone for an exceptional celebration.

Beautiful enough to photograph. Delicious enough to remember.
