We recently had the absolute pleasure of hiring Katherine Louie of Outrageous Gourmet, for several days of events leading up to a destination family wedding on the big island! In a word, AMAZING!

We began with a welcome party for family and friends hosted at a large luxury vacation home. Katherine and her team went into action, making all the preparations for the welcome which included stocking the house with groceries and beverages for the week as well as filling the house with gorgeous flower arrangements. For our informal first night gathering for 30 people she prepared the most fabulous array of tantalizing passed appetizers such as World Class Blackened Ahi Smoked Bowls, her award winning Ogo Poached Shrimp, Teriyaki Chicken Sliders and Filet Minion Satay to name a few. Additionally her team prepared a fabulous sushi buffet table loaded with exceptional and unique flavor combinations and she finished off the evening serving a delectable Mango Pudding. Her extremely professional and hard working crew executed the event flawlessly! ALL guests commented on the exceptional tasting food, service and display! Truly exceptional!

We had also arranged with Katherine to prepare a leave behind breakfast for the following morning and once again she did not disappoint. Several delectable Quiches, Hawaiian French Toasts, breakfast meats all easily heated as well as local Hawaiian cut fruit were all prepared to perfection and lasted for several days of breakfasts! So delicious and also so convenient for the group!

The second evening event was a sit down formal dinner where Katherine and her team set a gorgeous Hawaiian themed table and created the perfect atmosphere for fine dining. The sensational menu included some of Katherines most famous dishes including Seared Ahi Tuna, the unforgettable Cream of Coconut Milk Butternut Squash Soup, Garlic and Sesame seed crusted fresh catch and the outrageous Signature "Very Sinful" Chocolate Volcano Cake! Again, the evening was executed with professionalism and precision by Katherine and her fabulous team. We lucky guests all agreed it was one of the best dinners we have had in the islands (which is saying a lot for this group of well traveled food enthusiasts). Micheline star quality!

For the wedding day, Katherine and her team came together at the last minute by special request to save the day setting and serving foods that the wedding party had pre purchased. We made the mistake of thinking we could handle the meal all ourselves. Thank goodness for Katherine and her team! They truly helped transform what could have been a chaotic wedding meal situation into the perfect day it was intended to be! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

We recommend Outrageous Gourmet to anyone, especially those who understand and value quality and exceptional service!! Again, Michelin star!

Best,

Alec & Bryan

If you are looking for perfection I highly recommend hiring Outrageous Gourmet.
