This is a review of Humble Beginnings as a caterer. My wife and I lived in the Junction for a while and noticed when these folks opened shop. When it came time to find a caterer for our wedding we called them up to ask about what could be done. We wanted a local-oriented, creative, summer wedding on a budget. I have to say that Elisa and her team stood out from the rest of the caterers we spoke to - she took on our ideas of a rustic family bbq on an "economic" dime and infused creativity in the menu, cost cutting tips and brought refined and interesting cooking to the table. Other caterers didnt even call us back when we told them our budget - the folks at Humble took it as a challenge and came up with lots of ideas that could work for us. So about the food then...
Apps were savoury two bite empanadas - 3 kinds and mini grill cheese (think brie and crostini) with chilled gazpacho soup shooters.
The main included flank steak Argentina style with Chimichurri sauce, cajun rubbed turkey breast served with peach-mango chutney, and curried roasted eggplant with yogurt and figs for the vegetarians.
Dessert was an assortment of fresh fruit pies in place of the traditional cake.
Aside from the food being excellent, fresh, local where possible, and exciting, the service was great too - Elisa helped out with a lot of the planning so we didnt have to worry about many details, which was a load off on a crazy day where you have other things to worry about!
Definitely recommended as a caterer for any kind of event I can imagine! You'd be hard pressed to find better value in the city.
