Superbowl Big Business for Catering by Saffron’s!!

 With the New Year and the holidays behind us Catering by Saffron’s geared up the Superbowl in Tampa. Superbowl week was a big success for Catering by Saffron’s. The festivities of the week started off with The Ebony Fashion Fare VIP’ event at the Coliseum in St. Petersburg. The event was a hor D overve party held before the fashion show. We served up such delights as our renowned Island Showpiece, Curry Meatballs along with a new addition to our menu our Lime in da Coconut Chicken bites; white meat chicken marinated and cooked to tender perfection in Chef Jackie’s special cilantro, lime and coconut sauce.

Our next big event that week was the NFL Gospel concert that featured such performing artists as Mary Mary and the NFL gospel Choir. Catering by Saffron’s was chosen to cater dinner for the performers and there staff before the show. Much to our delight our fare was received with such comments as” We travel and are on the road so much its great to have a hot meal but this is truly the best food we have had”; and “Can I have another plate please”. Chef Jackie’s Famous Jerk Chicken and Island fish with Saffron rice had everyone cleaning their plates and looking for more. 

Our busy week ended up with the biggest of events as Catering by Saffron’s had been chosen early in November to be one of the choice caterers for the Official NFL Tailgate party before the big game at the Raymond James Stadium. Not only did our newly themed table display wow the crowd but our food spoke for itself. We served Chef Jackie’s Famous Jerk Chicken on skewers with grilled pineapple and our new menu addition Portobello Mushroom, Tomato Basil Brochette to over 11,000 hungry attendee’s, that kept our booth full from opening to close. Catering by Saffron’s food, service and all around professionalism earned us kudos from both the crowd and the NFL party planners alike.
