After last year's successful event, the food event came back bigger and better this year. Over 400 food enthusiasts came together to enjoy the 2nd annual Toronto Catering Showcase presented by EventSource.ca on October 15, 2017.


The Toronto Catering Showcase produced an amazing event this year with some of the city’s most talented culinary masters. The grand event once again took place at the Bram & Bluma Appel Salon, where guests got to indulge in culinary delights prepared by 12 of Toronto’s most notable catering companies. Upon entering the upstairs level of the Toronto Reference Library, we were warmly greeted by the front desk, and our tickets were scanned. Once inside, you'll notice that the room was filled with plenty of booths with a plethora of delicious cuisine for guests to enjoy.

This year's event was well-organized and I noticed that the arrangement of the venue differed greatly from last year's event. The bar was moved to the back of the room nearby where the Wellington Music group was playing. This provided a lot more walking space, and made the bar area less crowded. Additionally, the modern event space was given a more refreshed look with comfy leather couches and stand-tables giving guests more options for seating.

The event was ideal for those looking for caterers for their next event, wedding, party, corporate planners, and those loving food. Each caterer prepared about 3 different dishes and desserts, where guests were able to sample each delectable culinary dish. All of the caterers at the show offer personalized culinary experiences and most do draw inspiration from global or current food trends. Tickets were priced at $65 per person giving each guest an all-inclusive pass giving a complete access to an afternoon of pure epicurean indulgence – no food tickets, no drink tickets, no other charges.





The Toronto Catering Showcase allowed guests to enjoy an afternoon of pure epicurean indulgence (pictures below). Besides the delicious dishes, the event also featured local wines by the renowned Peller Estates, and a wide selection of craft beer provided by Brew Box Co. Overall, the event was very well organized, and all 12 caterers were spaced out accordingly. There was a lot of room to walk around, and plenty of seating available. The event was also the perfect opportunity to scope out potential caterers for an upcoming event or wedding. However, it wasn't limited to those looking for event planning, Toronto Catering Showcase was fun for couples, families, and everyday culinary connoisseurs.
