| - I've had freshii's twice now for catered events.
The first time, I was bowed over by the fresh tasting and great flavour combinations of their wraps. I had a chicken club wrap, part of the deluxe catering box combo. As sides, we had warrior chicken and teriyaki vegetable. I loved the warrior chicken!! It had a creamy tang to it, I could of eaten the whole container. The food itself came nicely packaged in white chinese-takeout style small boxes.
I was looking up the price of the deluxe box online, its $90 for 12 wraps cut in half, so potentially enough to feed 24 people (or $37.5 per half wrap) ends up being an affordable catering option.
The second time I had freshii's..it wasn't as exciting. I'm not sure if it was catered from a different location (there are multiple all over Toronto) but the flavours weren't as tasty. As well, I ended up with a vegan wrap, which was...very average. It was a combo of lettuce/sundried tomatoes/broccoli and a dressing with a sweet tangy flavour. But it wasn't enough dressing and all the tomatoes were towards the bottom of the wrap-basically I felt like I was eating a very bland lettuce filled wrap. We had similar salad selections as the first time, but I was not won over by the warrior chicken, it was average. I also noticed a couple of the wraps had the same warrior chicken filling! Not terribly creative.
I wish I could tell you which location we ordered from! But I've learned for myself, that food preparation, even in franchised operations, can differ from place to place.
My bottom line is that I would recommend freshiis for catered venues. Its a healthy option, and overall a crowd pleaser at both the events I attended.
