Brunch Caterers in Berkeley, CA

Latin Asian Fusion was born in 2016 out of an immense passion for good food and good times. What started as a small virtual kitchen is now a group of talented hospitality professionals delivering delicious food and wonderful experiences across the Bay Area. Together, we have catered over a thousand events and have worked at some of the Bay Area's top restaurants. We are happy to offer customized event packages for every occasion and can also tailor to every need. No matter the occasion, you will find a food and bever package to suit your needs. Prices vary by service and number of guests. For example, a plated 3 course dinner has a higher price per person than a buffet line factoring in China and service. In order to make our operations sustainable, we might impose minimums for certain services. When needed, we also offer bar setup services, audiovisual setup and can accommodate special requests. Thank you! We are the perfect team for your event!

My lifelong love for the culinary arts and a career in film production culminated when I started pursuing my food service businesses starting in 2012. Over the years and after so many diverse events, I have specialized in several areas that set Green Chow Down apart in the catering industry. I treat every event as unique and special, and your menu will be a highlight of the occasion, which I customize according to your preferences, the theme, purpose, and any dietary requirement. I can prepare globally inspired cuisines that span the globe, including Pan-Asian, Pan-European, Pan-Latin American, Pan-Middle Eastern, and Pan-African fare. I can also prepare traditional American and California fresh, and am especially fond of creating fusion dishes. Because of my children's myriad food allergies and my personal journey with a plant-based diet, I have become an expert gluten free and vegan chef, accommodating any dietary request. Green Chow Down boasts the largest vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free menus- my clients have noted my ability to "veganize" menus, or make them gluten-free friendly. Being a master of plant-centric and gluten-free cuisine results in these dishes shining alongside meat-based dishes, ensuring all of your guests are treated equally. Cooking is a creative endeavor for me, and my favorite part is when my diners have no idea what might be "missing"! The gourmet menus my amazing team and I create for our clients are made with the highest quality ingredients. Our farm-to-table and slow-food approach make the difference for our clients. We source only the best and freshest ingredients, and hand craft every dish we will serve at your event. Green Chow Down offers full service, including staffing, equipment rental, bartender partners, decoration, and event planning and coordination. I can help you realize the vision you already have for your event, or design a memorable and exclusive affair. A few noteworthy events we have had the privilege to serve at include cooking on an airplane hanger for 125 passengers on a mock flight, prepping behind the Black Eyed Peas on stage (which included gluten free lumpia on the menu), setting up Moroccan tents and serving a Middle Eastern extravaganza that was kosher for Passover, a completely Barbie-themed menu, and an all plant-based afternoon tea menu. Contact me to discuss your event, whether it is for corporate or private. We cater for corporate conferences, team building, and holiday parties, and can incorporate cooking classes. We cater any private event, including weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, retirements, showers, and memorials. We can serve an intimate gathering to large scale groups- our largest to date is 4,000 guests over multiple days. We can prepare a halal menu or a kosher menu in a kosher kitchen. We have an extensive dessert menu, including gluten-free, low glycemic sweetened, vegan, paleo, keto, and we can incorporate your logo on icings & frostings. We offer full service espresso bars and bring in our partner bartenders. I am certified as a food safety manager and my team members are certified as food handlers and Responsible Beverage Servers. When we work together, you will have high professionalism and skill, responsiveness, and an unparalleled attention to detail! Cooking classes are customized for participants. I am an expert plant based and gluten-free chef, and love sharing my knowledge!

Let Cole and Victoria take you on a unique experience with a nourishing Seasonal Farm to Table Catered Dinner & Guided Group Sensory Experience at any type of gathering! Please review the menus that are posted in the photos section here on my profile and contact me with which menu you'd like or if you have a specific menu idea that is not listed in my menus, let me know the details of that in the message and we can curate it together. Celebrate with a sumptuous, nourishing meal that pairs the delicious ingredients of the meal with moments of play, connection, poetry, and guided meditation to deepen our presence with the group and our bodies! Designed for Victoria’s personalized nourishing menus, the flow of the dinner invites us to playfully dive into our senses. These experiences will be curated specifically for you and your group, let’s get creative together! Victoria's dinner creation will leave you feeling satiated, your taste buds enlivened and your bodies nourished. Chef Victoria’s Food Philosophy: Every menu will be personalized to the group’s dietary and flavor desires and based on what ingredients are in season and available at the local farms. Sourcing is very much in the forefront of my food. I specialize in actually farm-to-table & organic meals. Meaning majority of my ingredients come from small farms within 20 minutes of me. I often incorporate wild foraged ingredients or ingredients grown in my garden! This means maximum nutrition for you and minimal negative impact on the environment. I work hard to make decisions that are part of the solution, not the problem - for our children & beyond. Cole's playfulness and structured activities during the guided sensory experience are sure to fill the room with entertainment, spark your heart, bring closer connection between the people in your gathering and be a lasting memory of your celebration. A call with Cole is optional, she can show up with an intuitive plan of sensory guidance OR she can have a call with you to tune in with you and your group to create a personalized experience based on who you are, why you're gathering and what you'd like to experience! EXAMPLES of curated experiences for your unique group: For a family dinner with children, more child-like play and connection can be invited in with things such as a treasure hunt, nature games, a song circle, or sharing the experience by feeding a each other a bite of each course. For a business group dinner, playful ways of incorporating team building activities, communication modalities and team bonding can be guided! For a bachelorette party, a more edgy experience with topics on sacred sexuality, blind folded tastings and creating face or hair care care products could be fun!
