Classic Catering Donates to the Community

What is one of our most frequently asked questions we receive from clients like you?

"Will there be enough food for everyone?"

Of course! Here's a pretty cool fact about Classic Catering: When given an accurate guest count, we are known for never running out of food. Lispeth has mastered the art (and math) of making enough of each dish so that you don't run out of food.

The follow-up question is always then, "What do you do with leftover food?"

Well first, we leave it (packaged nicely) for you to enjoy later, or to share with coworkers, friends and family. Some clients, however, prefer that we donate it to the local community. Some of our frequent leftover drop-off locations include:

City Union Mission

Local Women's Shelters

Ronald McDonald House Charities

We also recycle paper, plastic, glass and cardboard on a daily basis. Stay tuned for a blog dedicated solely to our recycling efforts!

The Magic Rubber Band Ball at Classic

What on earth is Classic Catering doing with a nearly 8 lb. rubber band ball, you say? The best person to ask is is Lispeth, our Executive Chef.

Amanda: When did you start working on the rubber band ball?

Lispeth: My first day as a chef here. So... about 8 years ago. Mary's mom (Vera) gave me the idea to start a rubber band ball after she came in with her own ball one day. She showed me how to start a rubber band ball, and I haven't stopped adding to it since.

According to Mary Partridge, her mother started her rubber band ball about 10-12 years ago, and once it weighed in at more than 10 lbs., she had to start a new one for lack of gigantic rubber bands!

Amanda: Where do all of the rubber bands come from?

Lispeth: Mainly asparagus and broccoli.

Amanda: That's a lot green veggies!

Lispeth: Yes, and just for the record, I didn't cheat on making it. It takes a lot of patience!

Amanda: Any funny stories about the ball?

Lispeth: Well, Jan's son bounced it the wrong way one day and gave himself a bloody nose. It was not pretty! (Jan is our office manager)

Several clients have seen the magic rubber band ball as well, and have also been fascinated with such a feat. Come on by and we'll introduce you to Lispeth, her culinary expertise, and her magic rubber band ball!

Oh, and just for the record, the world's largest rubber band ball weighs 3,500 lbs. That's a lotta rubber bands!
