The Story Behind Blend

We started Blend after falling in love at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Upon graduating, we trekked across the country to work tireless hours under envelope-pushing chefs in Napa Valley and San Francisco. We are happy to call the Greater Reno Tahoe area our home, as this region is brimming with culinary possibilities and evolving in exciting ways. We’ve loved bringing our experience to this revival and building valuable partnerships with other movers and shakers in the community to bring our clients unparalleled experiences in food, drink and the celebration of life’s most delicious moments.

We love telling your unique story through food. And crafting events that deliver truly unforgettable moments.

OUR JOURNEY

Along our food journey we’ve experienced a little bit of everything. We even operated a food truck—a hot, humid, cramped foodtruck. The food was tasty and the atmosphere was challenging, but it wasn’t quite us. See, we like the specialness of catering. We’re people-people who enjoy celebrations, special events, group dinners and other gatherings where friends, family, co-workers and strangers get together to share an experience. We like working a variety of events, it keeps our ideas and menus fresh. It’s the people, the variety and the great food we get to create that keeps us inspired!

Thank you so much for everything. Honestly it was SO perfect! The food and all the people that work with you two were so professional and kind. I cannot say enough good about you all! Thank you for all of it.

Thanks for the spectacular food and service at the Derby yesterday! I’ve worked with caterers most of my career—and as one myself back in college—and your team and quality is definitely the best of the best. Sara and the crew were helpful, responsive, thorough, pleasant to be around and made my job easier all day. The guests and clients loved the food! So in short, THANK YOU!! You guys rock and I love working with you.

Along with Josh and Whitney being phenomenal, their entire staff is extremely respectful and wonderful as well.

After moving to Reno recently, we wanted to find a caterer as superb as the ones we worked with in San Francisco. To our delight, we found Blend! The unique combinations of ingredients, spices, and seasonings in each selection was incredibly tasty. Each item was so light and fresh and that our guests kept asking each other "have you tried this?" again and again … even several days after our event

Whitney is a delight to work with—always responsive, never a hitch or difficulty. We have used many caterers for both corporate (150-300 guests) and private (25-100 guests) parties over the years, but Blend surpasses all others. When it comes to menu and service, look no further; I wholeheartedly recommend Blend.
—ROB D.
I’ll never think of using another caterer.

Wow! I don’t even know what to say. I am so beyond impressed. You really listened to (and understood) our vision and delivered. I have received nothing but compliments from our guests about the food, the portion sizes, the super friendly staff (I head this one a lot!), how clean the kitchen was left, and more. Cheers to a wonderful company! Thank you guys from the bottom of our heart.
