Patina Catering, part of Delaware North’s Patina Group, last month delivered a high-impact culinary experience at the Love Letter to LA Luncheon, an immersive event designed to celebrate the cultural richness of Los Angeles.
Held Oct. 29 at City View Penthouse at South Park Center, a wedding venue in downtown LA, the event welcomed more than 350 industry professionals, including venue representatives, event planners and vendor collaborators.
Guests were treated to a curated journey through Los Angeles’ iconic neighborhoods via themed food stations. Each station featured bold flavors and inventive presentations, including:
- Urban Flavors – Downtown LA: Yucatán Ceviche, Mama’s Cochinita Pibil, Nick & Stef’s Steakhouse Slider
- Coastal Bites – Beach Cities: Ahi Tuna Niçoise Baguette, Mini Wagyu Korean Hot Dogs
- Urban Asian Fusion – The Valley and Hollywood Hills: Karaage Chicken, Vegan Dan Dan Noodles
- Pacific Palate – Beverly Hills: La Scala-Inspired Chopped Salad, Porchetta Sandwich
A custom mocktail bar added a refreshing touch with signature drinks such as the Electric Sunset and Coastal Heatwave.
“The Love Letter to LA Luncheon was a powerful showcase of Patina Catering’s ability to create memorable, high-touch culinary experiences,” said Kate Crilly, Patina Catering business development and events manager. “The feedback from guests and partners was overwhelmingly positive, and the content captured will be invaluable for future campaigns and outreach.”
Patina Catering’s presence was further elevated through live content creation and social media engagement. The event reached a potential audience of more than 201,000 users on Instagram alone, with vendor partners and co-hosts actively sharing content across platforms.
