We think so.<br />
<br />
No matter where your drinking this summer (that college dive bar counts too) try these refreshing options. Want to get really fancy in the backyard? Ditch the red Solo cup for a stemless martini or wine goblet and impress the neighbors (even if you have a farmer's tan).<br />
<br />
2 SANGRIAS<br />

<br />
More than 175 friends, family, and clients came out to the Design District eatery to experience our attempt at running a breakfast joint! Our first reservation was at 11AM and by 11:30 we were in full-fledged production mode and the 18-seat bar was stacked with champagne sipping ladies.<br />
<br />

"This is so different than catering," says line cook Brandon Tripp who also is a full-timer at Aaron's during season. "Once we started, we didn't stop."<br />
<br />
The front of house was ran by Egg & Dart's owner Costa Grillas and was supported by our in house operations manager, Brittany.<br />
<br />
"The servers were great," says diner and Director of Sales Jenny Lynn. "They were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to answer questions!"<br />

Each table was welcomed with complementary cranberry scones, cornbread and candied bacon. Each of which was homemade from scratch (a boastful fete for Executive Chef, Andres Barrientos) and opted to participate in the $15 bottomless mimosas!<br />
<br />
As the tapas began rolling out, favorites became immediately evident. The Mini Eggs Benedict and Chicharron were flying out of the kitchen and we ran-out (hey, don't blame us, its a pop-up) of Vaca Frita and Arepa de Huevo.<br />
<br />
As of today we are close to capacity for Sunday July 1st. Hurry and get a seat now by emailing popup@aaronscatering.com. <br />

This week our team was invited to join one of our favorite venues, The Bath Club, at the wedding event of the season; The Wedding Salon.<br />
<br />
Held across the country for high-end brides, South Florida's installment was hosted at <a href="http://www.epichotel.com/index.html?WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=iq_id-47152073" style="color: #a64d79;">The Epic Hotel and Residences</a><span style="color: #a64d79;"> </span>downtown. The 4-hour event featured vendors ranging from hotels, venues and photographers to cake designers and florists.<br />
<br />
Naturally, the heavy hitters were in attendance like Panache: A Classic Party Rental Company, Cafe ala Carte, Uplyte, and delicious Ana Paz Cakes. We also scouted out some new vendors from the heath and beauty realm like Bio Oil and Fly Wheel Spinning Studio.<br />
<br />
In the center of the upscale trade show like space were 13 cocktail tables, each staged featuring different tablescapes from different vendors. Guests (and us) were able to graze around ohhh-ing and ahhh-ing.<br />
<br />
Our vignette, which was shared with the historic Bath Club, featured Molecular Tuna Tartare garnished with Wasabi Air and Deconstructed Sangria Shots. Brides to be, though skeptical at first, swooned over the avante garde offerings!<br />

Our team is thrilled to announce that we are launching a Pop-Up Brunch concept every Sunday through the Summer! (and maybe longer depending on its success). Thanks to Brian's dear friend Costa Grillas who owns the Design District's Egg & Dart, we will be launching JUNE 24th.<br />
<br />
The 144-seat Greek eatery opened last year to great reviews and with an already impressive interior and staff, its just going to get better!<br />

To celebrate one of Aaron's Catering most successful and groundbreaking season, we headed out to Marlin's Park to celebrate.<br />
<br />
Taking over a suite on the Lexus Suite level, our team (dressed head to toe in Marlin's gear) enjoyed some well deserved R&R. From Sales to Operations, Warehouse and Culinary; everyone's spirits were high (regardless of their love for baseball).<br />
<br />
The accommodations were amazing!!! Our chefs were so impressed with the brand new digs and chaffers (yes, chaffers) they're still talking about it! <br />

Over cheers from surrounding suites and commentary from the Heat Game that was playing on every non-Marlin screen, team members swopped event highs and lows. Each horror story met with one of grandeur that left smiles on everyone's face.<br />

Fearless leader, Brian Aaron addressed the team with an unforgettable toast and veteran staffers noshed on chicken wings and light snacks (shout out to Levy's who did an incredible job).<br />
<br />
With the Marlin's defeating the Rockies, the Aaron's team headed downstairs to the Clevelander for post game drinks. <br />
<br />
"This place is awesome, remarks warehouse manager Ury Martinez of the South Beach transplant. "Let's keep this party going!"<br />
<br />
...and that we did. It was a night to remember and a night to reflect. In the words of Brian Aaron, "Until next year..." <br />

Though it is not currently available for purchase, it sparked our creativity button! Why not introduce this as a family activity or perhaps gift for fathers day?<br />

Heavy in production and full of surprises, the event featured celebrity appearances, Barbie and Ken nuptials, choreographed fashion show and dance number, and bubbles (yes, bubbles!).<br />
<br />
After a dozen site visits over the past year, the production team decided on the sprawling Ice Palace Film Studios and the adjacent nightclub space formally known as Karu and Y. The event footprint was split into three areas, the first of which was focused around the Hot Wheels brand. Accommodating cocktail hour, the space featured five Hot Wheel concept vehicles, BMX ramps, and a complete sound stage that later hosted Danica Patrick and Mario Andretti whom served as the cocktail hour emcees. <br />

For dinner, the 650 executives moved into an adjacent space which featured a 50-foot runway flanked by an assortment of dinner tables. During the two plated courses guests were treated to a Barbie merchandise fashion show and choreographed dance by local girls ages ranging from 4 to 9 years old.<br />

This past weekend more than 55 Verizon Wireless employees from all over the country joined forces at South Beach's Art Deco Welcome Center for an ocean-side Iron Chef Challenge. Emceed by Chef Brian Aaron, the executives were broken into 5 teams of 10 and assigned to an Aaron's Catering cheftestant. The secret ingredient? Shrimp. Up for stake? bragging rights and the coveted golden spatula.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"It was a blast seeing how competitive and passionate each person was," said chef/leader Brandon Tripp. "They were here to cook and it showed!"<br />

<br />
The groups had access to the produce pantry which included everything from fresh herbs to eggs and items like Panko (breadcrumbs) and raw pasta.<br />
<br />
As the time clock counted down, each team member rushed to get their dishes plated and in front of the panel of judges which included fellow Verizon employees and foodies alike.<br />
<br />
"I was amazed at how good the dishes came out," says judge and Aaron's Catering Client Delopment Manager, Jenny Lynn George. "They really did a great job on presentation and creativity, which were two of the judging categories along with taste. <br />

<br />
More than 1,000 independent, non-profit and corporate planners filled the early morning conference programs and the isles of the Broward County Convention Center networking and looking for inspiration.<br />
<br />
Usually straying from traditional marketing,our team decided to exhibit.<br />
<br />
"BizBash is a great platform to connect with old clients and find new ones", said Brian Aaron, President of Aaron's Catering. "Where else can you find all your potential clients under one roof?"<br />
<br />
One of two caterers on the show floor, our team opted to sample our Molecular Diablo. Created by Executive Chef Andres Barrientos, the item--great butler passed and as a salad--mocks the traditional deviled egg. It consists of mozzarella cheese (as the egg white), heirloom tomato foam (as the yolk) and is topped with balsamic vinegar caviar and micro basil. The dish consists of all the flavor profiles of a caprese salad, in which it is!<br />

<br />
The chatter around our booth ranged from utter shock to love at first sight. Client Development Manager, Thomas Hassler recounts, "I heard a lady say 'what a good trick and treat' which I thought was a great way to sum up the experience."<br />
<br />
Attendees were not the only ones who liked the dish. BizBash reported<a href="http://www.bizbash.com/7-new-products-from-the-bizbash-expo-in-florida/gallery/90668"> here</a> that it was one of the seven new ideas from the show!!<br />

Think bathrooms, think valet line, think exit strategy. Event producers and planners have so much opportunity to engage the guest---its so exciting!<br /><br />One idea that we love is the opportunity that DMCs get when hosting groups at a base hotels; <span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);">"The Room Plant"</span>.<span style="font-style: italic;"> This is what were calling it, if you have a better name we are open for suggestions!!</span> Marketing companies are calling it a "room drop" and selling it along with exhibitor packages.

In doing so, it prolongs the experience and or sets a reminder. After all, if your group is in from out of town the event program never stops right?<br /><br />Upon the guest's return the item creates an element of surprise and intrigue.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsGMD2ZBglaJrcLfBXxLN5f06ecGcUhIg2eSg4pnVahh2vD7bQgJQCdBy0Ia4Llx17az2CqKb_xmqQpApu6L_yrf0irFY4amYKbEtbG4O11gTG8hvZyXh4noTroBBh2Rj_OrZHjSgdE28/s1600/rd.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsGMD2ZBglaJrcLfBXxLN5f06ecGcUhIg2eSg4pnVahh2vD7bQgJQCdBy0Ia4Llx17az2CqKb_xmqQpApu6L_yrf0irFY4amYKbEtbG4O11gTG8hvZyXh4noTroBBh2Rj_OrZHjSgdE28/s400/rd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722446191119212146" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This week we are thrilled to announce that we are working on a three day program with <a style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);" href="http://www.eatertainment.com/">Eatertainment</a> and BMW and they have mastered the art of "Room Planting".

But last week's Season Opener at SoCool eVenue was one for the record books. Organized by leading ladies, Lauren Goldberg (So Cool) and Jackie Becker (Quest Drape), the soiree brought out more than 500 revelers industry wide!<div><br /></div><div>From the red carpet entry that doubled as a model's dress train to the 10" ice luge complete with stilt-walkers, every vendor put their best foot forward. </div><div><br /></div><div>"I am really impressed with the food tonight," said Ann Keursh of BizBash Media. "It seems every caterer really stepped it up."</div><div><br /></div><div>As for us, we took the "kill-them-with-curiosity" route and featured fried yucca balls with a cilantro aioli and lime cloud (aka cotton candy).

Football has started and chefs across the country are digging out the pumpkin spice. To wrap the Summer in true "Sunday Funday" fashion, our team headed to Miami Beach's Lou's Beer Garden this past weekend to support an old friend. <div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div>Andres Barrientos (our former Sous Chef and Brian's partner on 24-Hour restaurant battle) returned to Lou's on Sunday to defend his winning tittle from last year's first annual Micro Brew Cook-Off. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>This is how it worked...close to 12 chefs from South Florida staged poolside a dish made with a craft beer of their choice. Judging was based on the opinions of 5 local foodies and the popular vote of 100 people in attendance. The efforts were </div><div>awesome and our boy, naturally, killed it with a pork belly topped with Arrogant Bastard Ale air. Great name, we know.</div><div> </div><div style="text-align: center;">
