It was a quiet December in the event industry. We have come to rely on companies throwing lavish holiday parties, but when will that come back? I was interviewed by SF Gate in this article -

Facebook once spent $300k on a holiday party venue. Has the pandemic ended that type of...

GOODBYE! :( (for now)

Dear Friends,

We never expected to take a 25 year old catering company and turn it into a grocery store over night, but we did it and are proud of the product that we created. We have decided to hit the pause button for the time being so that we can throw our energy into creating a new type of catering company. SO, this is the last week of service (at least for the time being!)

None of this could have happened without you - our loyal customers - so THANK YOU for all of your incredible support! We'll get in touch when we know our next move.
xo,
Laurine Wickett and team

Start with the best ingredients you can find. That's our motto at Left Coast and why we created Left Coast Essential Groceries. When you go to the grocery store they entice you with pre-packaged foods - that's where they make their profits - and you have to wade through these aisles of processed foods to get to the wholesome fruits and veggies. With Left Coast Essentials it's the opposite - a produce first mentality that is the most nutritious and healthy. This week we're inspired by stirfry's and dumplings.

Left Coast Essential Food Box - place your order by 4 pm today for pick up May 1st.

Each week we are working with our purveyors to put together a curated vegetarian LEFT COAST ESSENTIAL FOOD BOX that includes the freshest produce we can find along with your essentials - milk, yogurt, and eggs and offering it for $105 for pickup at 1400 Yosemite Ave. between 1-4pm on Fridays. From there we have weekly specials that you can add on to your order like flour, whole chickens, sausages, butter, coffee, tea etc. We have always been careful to only allow the best ingredients to enter our kitchen, and even though we're in the middle of a pandemic this is no different, so we may have to make substitutions if the produce is not up to our standards - we will do our best to sub like with like (i.e. a fruit for a fruit or veggie for a veggie.) Our number one goal with this venture is to maintain a low-touch safe protocol in order to offer you beautiful ingredients to make you smile and inspire special moments around food.

This week's ingredients are live and available for purchase at our online store: https://leftcoastcatering.square.site/.

HOW IT WORKS:

The 'Base Box' is $105 and there are no substitutions but you can customize your milk and yogurt

PLACE YOUR ORDER by 4pm on Tuesday night and tell us how many boxes you want along with your milk and yogurt choice

Add on your 'SPECIALS' - limit of 10lbs of flour per order
Groceries will be ready for pickup on Friday between 1-4pm at 1400 Yosemite Ave.

Once you pull-up in our loading zone, text 415-430-5480 - HERE, the name on the order, and the make/model/color of your vehicle and we will drop the groceries in your trunk
Looking forward to cooking for you soon!

Lots of love,
Chef Laurine and Team
