Meet the Creator and Chef
Chef Steven Swallow has an extensive culinary background. He attended Utah Valley University’s Culinary Arts program where he studied under (5) phenomenal certified executive chefs and pastry chefs from around the world. Chef Swallow has worked for several restaurants and catering companies in and outside of Utah. He spent a year in Hawaii studying hospitality while he worked for a prominent catering company there. After returning from Hawaii Chef Swallow headed the creation of a hip new café near Center Street in Provo, Utah. Along with starting this café he worked as one of the head chefs for one of the largest catering companies in Utah.

After working for and seeing several Utah caterers’ food that was sub par and overpriced, Chef Swallow decided to create a catering company that had realistic prices, exceptional food, and impressive displays. Chef Swallow takes pride in everything he does from using fresh herbs to creating extraordinary fruit displays. Sure it may take more time, money, and effort, but the end result of satisfied customers and continued business makes it worthwhile.

This elegant Chinese wedding was held at Noah's in South Jordan. They started out with several hors d' oeuvres which included shrimp cocktail, crab cakes served with lemon aioli, cold noodle asian salad, and our signature fruit display with an asian twist. For dinner they served prime rib with accompanying sides and for dessert they had our signature cream cheese brownies, fruit tarts, eclairs and frozen drink bar featuring our Strawberry Daiquiri and Pina Coloda. It was a night full of dancing, delicious food and fun.
