For a healthier fried chicken catering option, Lyfe Kitchen offers "Art's Unfried Chicken," named after chef Art Smith. The chicken is coated with whole-wheat panko, seared, and served atop roasted Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, dried cranberries, cashew-cream sauce, and Dijon vinaigrette. The chicken can also be substituted with meat-free proteins from Gardein. Lyfe has locations nationwide, including Chicago; Palo Alto, California; and Boulder, Colorado.

Pinch Food Design
Known for his innovative approach to plating, Bob Spiegal is in constant demand to cater prestigious New York events, such as the Whitney Museum’s fall gala, New York Philharmonic’s opening in the park, and the Cooper Union gala. He embraces the idea of one-bite food served without traditional silverware and plates, making Pinch a go-to caterer for unconventional presentations.

"We wanted guests to have the same experience [of a traditional trattoria], but at an event. The clipboard was logical because it held the butcher’s paper, which had the menu printed on it."
