CAN ’ T DECIDE ON CATERING MENU ? Burgh Bites Offers Options for All Appetites
If you ’ re looking for a caterer for your next banquet or party , but are tired of the same old “ wedding food ” that most caterers offer , then it ’ s time to look at the menu at Burgh Bites .
With a strong emphasis on traditional Italian recipes culled from his family ’ s heritage , owner Ricci Minella has added some items to the Burgh Bites catering menu that ’ s a hit for every occasion .
“ Our homemade pasta recipes are handed down from my grandmother , who was Calabrese ,” Minella said . “ So you can ’ t get a fresher , more authentic pasta than our ravioli , cavatelli and fettuccine . Add to that our unique red sauce , which has slow-roasted garlic , and pureed carrots for sweetness , and you have a pasta dish that you ’ d need a passport to get from anywhere else .”
For the meat lovers , Burgh Bites has a braciole that will melt in your mouth . Minella got this recipe from his wife ’ s side of the family and immediately added it to his menu for customers .
“ It ’ s a slow-braised beef dish that I didn ’ t have growing up , but had later in life . It ’ s a traditional Italian dish , but a lot of people don ’ t know what it is , which is a shame , because it ’ s delicious ,” Minella said . “ It ’ s flank cut that we pound very thin and then stuff it with cheese , herbs and breadcrumbs . Then it ’ s rolled it up , tied and seared . Then , it ’ s cooked in our tomato sauce slowly until it ’ s all tender .”
And , if your party has some vegetarians or you ’ re just looking for a great sampler that ties everything together , Burgh Bites ’ Grilled Vegetable Platter is just the thing .
With a seasonal variety of uniquely prepared vegetables served with feta and olive oil , the platter includes more than just grilled items . Some are sauteed , some are marinated . The exact combination depends on what ’ s in season and how it ’ s best prepared to extract every ounce of flavor for customers .
And , if your party is 10 or less , Burgh Bites ’ Brick n ’ Mortar location in Heidelberg can host your party in house upon
reservation , giving you and your guests at home dining experience without the clean up .
The Brick n ’ Mortar location has allowed Minella to expand the business in three ways , all of which should make customers happy . First , it serves as a home base for the Burgh Bites truck , which loads up every day for its travels throughout the city . Second , it expands the catering capabilities of the business , which has successfully catered events from weddings to corporate events , and lastly , it provides a new , sit-down experience for customers looking to have a in-and-out , casual meal .
