Special Dietary Requirements

Market Street Catering embraces the challenges of serving quality cuisine to guests that require special dietary attention. Whether vegan or low-fat, low-salt or low-carb, we feel that everyone deserves the opportunity to equally enjoy your event.

In order to successfully facilitate the food service part of your event, it really isn't a good idea to send out invitations boasting that Market Street will satisfy any dietary whim! However, specific guests who have serious concerns usually make their needs known. All we ask is that you communicate these needs to us, supply us with a seating chart showing where the guest is sitting and their dietary requirements and we'll take it from there. Of course there is a surcharge for each customized guest meal but, we know from experience, it’s worth it.

Kosher food: We do not produce Kosher food and do not cater Kosher events. However, if you have several Kosher guests (or even one) we will purchase the meal(s) from a local Kosher restaurant and deliver them on appropriate service ware.

Ingredients

Market Street Catering is proud of the quality of their ingredients. We recognize that the finished product is only as good as its ingredients.

Extra Special Ingredients: At Market Street you might taste rare black Hawaiian sea salt or find yourself sitting at a caviar bar, a chef making buckwheat blini to order. Our kitchen shelves boast 40-year old balsamic vinegar and the finest in olive oils.

Meat: Our meats are purchased from Golden Gate Meats, specializing in beef that contains no hormones and no antibiotics. In fact, you can purchase their meats at the Ferry Building in San Francisco .

Fat: We do not use any trans fatty acids in our cooking. We don't use lard. We only use olive oil, canola oil and butter. Of course there are times we use other oils such as walnut oil but never in large quantities.

Desserts: Unlike many catering companies who purchase desserts wholesale, we pride ourselves in our house-baked desserts. It may take us a little more time but the result is definitely worth it!

Produce: We use the freshest produce direct from the produce market. Much of the produce we use is organic. If you desire all organic produce, please let us know.
