Today we are featuring 7 unique appetizer ideas from Crystal Catering! Based in Indianapolis, the team at Crystal Catering has mastered the art of curating menus that cater to all taste buds and dietary restrictions. We visited Crane Bay to see what Chef Brian Pleasant (25 years of experience, 13 with Crystal Catering), and Chef Scott Cramer (28 years of experience), are creating for upcoming Summer events and we were blown away by their unique culinary masterpieces.
Chef Brian was tasked with creating a light and refreshing menu for an upcoming high profile event. He and Chef Scott, who was inspired by his experience living in the Caribbean, dished out imaginative starters with Indiana flare using locally sourced ingredients. Treat your guests to an unforgettable foodie experience with these chic summer appetizers!
