Hands-on Experience

When Hosts Global Alliance gathered clients and DMC members in New Orleans this summer for the 2017 Hosts Global Forum, creative F&B was on the front burner. Here are two ideas we love, developed by Epicurean Innovation chef Jenna Johansen.

• A fresh mozzarella station where the cheese is pulled live and served three ways: burrata on crostini with smoked tomato jam; burrata with roasted red grapes, rosemary, EVOO and sea salt in a small mason jar; arugula tossed in EVOO and fresh lemon, marinated fresh mozzarella, pine nuts, cherry tomato, crispy prosciutto in a bamboo cone.

• Sushi and scallops topped with yum yum sauce torched to order by a uniformed chef.

Innovation & Transparency are the Underpinnings of E5 Events’ Success

Innovate or die is the name of the game in Denver today. With the city experiencing record-breaking growth and expansion, those looking to break ground are turning to new and improved business models and philosophies that can outdo and outlive those of their rivals. For E5 Events — Epicurean Caterer’s large-scale events company that’s taken off like a bamboo shoot — catering to the ambitious, corporate types or simply being those groundbreakers is no different.

E5 Vice President Wesley Guzman hands me a business card that almost isn’t there. It’s modern, completely unique, and cleverly transparent — a reflection of the company’s philosophy.
