About Us

Connecting food, design and service

Our True Passion

Catering By Design begins in the kitchen. We have a passion for the cooking techniques and authentic flavors of regional cuisine, prepared and presented with modern culinary sensibility and often a dash of whimsy.  As members and supporters of the Slow Food Movement, we utilize the bounty of food sources locally and across America, gently enhancing these ingredients with aromas and flavors from around the globe.

Our thoughtful cuisine is enhanced by carefully crafted design of the plate, of the food station and of the event space. Our attention to detail is unsurpassed in the marketplace. Clients come to CBD for something different and we deliver with passionate and professional service and exquisite cuisine.

A team of professionals accomplishes our magic led by Executive Chef Roth Perelman who steps up to the plate bringing a dynamic repertoire of multi -cultural cuisine with striking culinary design. Our amazing Event Specialists and décor experts can provide event planning and expertise for beautiful weddings, distinctive galas, picnics for 5000, and everything else in between.
