Blend Catering catered a 35-person wedding dinner for us in Truckee, CA this past June, and both…read morethe food and service were absolutely amazing! Everyone at the event was genuinely impressed. Their menu structure is very straightforward--they offer clear standard pricing with a variety of options, as well as optional upgrades. We decided to upgrade to the filet, and it was worth every penny! Ahead of the big day, they hosted a private tasting for us in Reno so we could finalize our selections and fine-tune a few details. On the day of the event, Chef Memo and his team arrived right on time and seamlessly converted our home kitchen into a prep station to finish and plate the dinner, which was served outside. They handled a few last-minute schedule changes with total ease. The entire staff was exceptionally kind, helpful, and attentive throughout the night. Menu Highlights: Appetizers/Stations: The taco station, mini lobster rolls, and sliders were huge crowd favorites. Dessert: The variety of mini desserts was a massive hit with our guests. At the end of the night, they left our kitchen spotless and neatly stacked all the rental items in the garage for pickup. We enthusiastically recommend Blend Catering to anyone looking for a top-tier catering team!

Choosing Blend as our caterer was easily one of the best choices we made for our wedding day!…read moreWorking with Whitney and the Blend team was an absolute pleasure from the very beginning. They were always quick and responsive to answer our questions and the ease of scheduling our tasting was so easy! We loved that the tasting was an option and we both agreed this was easily our favorite part of the planning process. The only difficult aspect was selecting final proteins, sides, and appetizers because they're all SO good that you wish you could choose them all. The catering team on the day of the wedding were so freaking sweet. They were flexible, rolled with the rain, and didn't skip a beat on timing or set-up. It was important to us to attend our cocktail hour (in lieu of photos and missing out on guests), but as an extra benefit - the second I'd finished an appetizer, the Blend team was magically at my side to give me another. Truly, 10/10 service! In an unexpected moment, one of the Blend catering staff had congratulated us on a beautiful wedding and had then said: "They say rain is good luck on your wedding day because it washes away all the hardship that's come before." I've previously heard that 'rain on your wedding day is good luck', yet I'd never heard the second part of the saying or 'why' it's good luck. She couldn't have known our story, but my husband's a Marine and we've been together for 11 years through countless deployments, exercises, and overseas assignments. Her sharing that with us meant so much and it's stuck as one of the profound moments where I felt incredibly present and rooted on that day. Not only that moment, but all of the Blend staff were so kind and present with all our guests. I would see them laughing and joking and our guests could not stop raving about how good the food was!! They also LOVED that there was the option to go back for seconds. Each of the Blend staff at one point had complimented my dress (it was black!) and they all made me feel beautiful and seen in so many ways. As the late night bites were passed around and one of the trays emptied, the Blend girls joined us on the dance floor and it was such an epic blast. On the logistics front, Blend delivered yet again. We had 2 guests with allergies and 2 guests with dietary preferences and coordinating their needs were so easy. We also discovered one of our guests had a tonsillectomy 3 days before our wedding, so we messaged the Blend team to see if they could make any last minute accommodations and again - they delivered! From the food, to the service, to their people - Blend is one of the best choices you can make for your wedding. I can't recommend them, their food, or their staff enough. Our final selection choices: - Appetizers: Korean beef short rib wrap, pork belly skewer with maple bourbon glaze (MY FAVE), and the tuna tostada (my second fave!) - Mains: The gochujang buttermilk fried chicken thighs and New York steak with au poivre sauce - Sides: Mashed potatoes (we LOVED the smashed potatoes during our tasting, but opted for mashed instead to dip the protein in, IYKYK), grilled asparagus. - Salad: Honey crisp salad - Drink station: apple cider, strawberry lemonade, and cucumber water (This was also such a huge hit for our guests that don't drink! They loved having more options than just soda or water.)

Went to a friend's house for an omakase-style sushi dinner catered by Urban Crudos and it turned…read moreinto one of the more memorable dinner parties I've had in a while. Watching everything get prepared right in front of us was half the fun. The pacing felt intentional, piece by piece, like sitting at a sushi counter rather than eating catered food. Fish quality was excellent and the variety kept things interesting throughout the night. The rice was dialed too, which honestly is the detail that separates good sushi from great sushi. Proper texture, good seasoning, and balanced with the fish. A few pieces really stood out texturally as well -- clean cuts, great mouthfeel, and thoughtful garnishes that didn't overpower the fish. Beyond the food, the hospitality was great. Friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about what they're doing. It really did feel like a sushi bar popped up in our friend's house for the night. If you're looking to do something memorable for a private event or dinner with friends, this is a very cool option.

From a private AYCE style experience brought to you, all the way up to a custom curated Japanese style omakase meal featuring countless courses of perfectly prepared sushi, sashimi, maki and more, you can do it all with Urban Crudos. As I've gotten older I want more and more time in my home, surrounded by my beloved family and good friends, enjoying time with each other, and since food is my love language, exceptional eats must be on the menu, paired with fine wine and whiskey when appropriate. So when my wonderful wife suggested I host a sushi party, I was all about it! Initially I'd planned on taking a group out or placing a big takeout order to enjoy at home, but that's when the lightbulb went off and I made the Urban Crudos call. Chef Gerson shared a number of wonderful options with me, but I had my heart set on something pretty specific. Over the course of 2 weeks we went back and forth, discussing dishes, checking supplier availability, and developing an omakase menu that hit so many of my favorites. Chef Gerson and his sous chef and brother, Yonatan, prepared more than a dozen courses for my group of 15 that included kampachi, hamachi belly, toro, uni, caviar, and even A5 wagyu, each prepared and presented individually over the course of 2 hours. It was a phenomenal experience I can't wait to have again, and every single one of my guests has not stopped talking about it since they left! Once the courses were complete Chef Gerson even went on to prepare a few more platters for us to enjoy as the party continued. These guys are true pros with a hospitality first mentality. They set themselves up beautifully in my kitchen so we could watch the action unfold, and somehow they left it all cleaner than when they arrived. This is one of the best things you can do in Reno Sparks. Skip going out and consider this for a group of friends soon!

That's why this review is a tough one to write. This year I ordered one of their charcuterie boxes, and while the presentation was cute (the salami rose was adorable!), the overall value just didn't match the $22 price tag. The portion size and variety left a lot to be desired, and I honestly walked away feeling a bit underwhelmed. I'm hoping this was just an off experience because I've had such great luck with them in the past. I still love supporting local and know what they're capable of--but for the price, I'd love to see the quality and quantity better reflect the Cherry Bomb standard I've come to expect.

I needed an order of lox for a birthday celebration, and they came through with no problem! And they helped me to get a cheesecake and have it all delivered!

Now that name should ring a bell because this food truck is the little mobile version of El Paisano, one of Reno's favorite Mexican/Salvadorian restaurants. The truck just hit the streets, and it's making people happy at private parties and office plazas all over. We hired them to cater a block party and it knocked everyone's socks off! For us they served a solid menu of classics like tortas, tacos, and burritos, with either al pastor, asada, pollo, or lengua. We chose those meats, but they can do anything you want. The kitchen setup inside the truck is really nice, and I'm sure capable of a whole lot more too. Everything was absolutely delicious, clearly food made fresh with a lot of love. The al pastor was rich and spicy and the lengua was incredibly tender too. They rolled out a full salsa bar with four or five varieties along with radish, limes and whole grilled jalapeños. Pricing was totally reasonable and the service fast and friendly too. I'd highly recommend working with these guys anytime! Ask them about their incredible taco cart too!

Atmosphere - A food truck, like none I had seen before. Looks more like a modified box truck as the cab was a separate from the kitchen. There is not much to rate as it a truck. Food Dinner - A food truck with burrito and tacos, too many choices. I went my classic choice of a burrito. And to top it off they have carne asada. Done deal! $7 was a deal for the burrito, there was some rice and beans as filler but the flavors of the burrito were great. I had totally unwrapped the foil from the burrito, but by then the bottom was busting out so the foil had to go back on. Service - It was what you needed, fast and friendly. The little cups for the condiments were in the truck but it was an issue asking as they were right there in the pickup window. Future - Yes.

The rice was equally delicious and what I appreciated most was the curry was light and the dish wasn't swimming in a soupy mess... it was all nicely coated Everything is sustainable, organic and containers recyclable. All good stuff. The portions were quite adequate and at $14 per meal I thought it was worth it. The only criticism I have is they seemed to be a bit overwhelmed, although not terribly busy. However, regardless I highly recommend their food.
