Yes, you read the title correctly! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, we fed Steven Page (formerly of Barenaked Ladies) and his studio musicians while he recorded tracks for his newest CD! What a fantiastic group of people!!! They LOVED our food, which our Head Chef Craig Baxter, I will tell you more about him in a sec, prepared especially for Steven. We did some customized salads for their lunch each day and made sure that dinner was not just 'food' but an 'experience' each evening. I would get the 'thumbs up' each day when I went in. I even took dog treats for his dogs. How could I feed the humans and not the dogs too??!!
I have to tell you what a personal thrill it was to hear the amazing voice of Steven Page filling the studio. I have always been a fan. I am even more so now. Highlight of the 3 days... I had a song stuck in my head all night Wednesday night. I walk in with lunch on Thursday. Steven launched into the most amazingly beautiful acoustic version of the song that is stuck in my head!!!!! Weirdest, but one of the most spectacular moments of my life!!!
Of course we could NOT tell you what we were up to until the gig was finished. We understand the need for privacy and confidentiality while the cater is happening. It is part of the professionalizm here at Kings Court and I still will not disclose the location.
Oh, here are some Head Chef Craig Baxter Facts!!
Did you know that Craig fed the crews for all 3 Lord of the Rings Movies, shot in New Zealand?
Did you know that he fed the crew on the set of King Kong?
Did you know that there are more movies he has worked on and will remind me of them after he reads this? *grin*
Did you know that he has worked all over the world and we are lucky enough to have him here, creating one 'of a kind dishes' that will have your taste buds BEGGING for more?
So my Blogging Friends, call us for your next occasion and you can tell everyone that your caterer has connections to the "STARS"!!!
Until next time,
Karen
