Buddha Bowl Catering
Invite your event guests to find inner body peace by creating — and consuming — colorful works of gastronomical art at a self-serve Buddha bowl bar. Delight their palates with a palette of fresh greens, multi-colored and exotic vegetables, protein-packed whole grains and starches, hoisin-grilled chicken, grilled prawns, and a complementing selection of flavorful sauces and garnishes.
As a nourishing offering of mixed bites of light, healthy fare, Tony’s Buddha bowl station is perfectly suited to serve as a stand-alone catered meal for groups devoted to healthy eating. Tailored to meet both the flavor desires and health-consciousness of your distinct crowd — traditional vegan Buddha bowl, anyone? — the Buddha bowl station also serves as a perfect counterbalance to richer foods that you may want to offer at your event.
I’ve already reflected.
I want Buddha bowls!
A Balanced Meal
The Buddha bowl is all about balance. Balance the different types of food so that neither yin nor yang predominates. The more color variations in a Buddha bowl, the more likely you are creating an extra-healthy meal, packed with flavor variety and unity at the same time.
Tony might not seem that Zen sometimes, but his mindfully prepared food has been nourishing Bay-area health-conscious foodies for years. And nothing speaks to healthy eating like the “power bowl,” due to its exceptionally high offering of nutrients.
Instead of chanting, “Om,”
I'm chanting, "Yum!"Even guests who may not be as into healthy eating enjoy the Buddha bowl. With so many savory food types, and variations between raw, steamed, and roasted items, even the most picky eaters can create a Buddha bowl that leads their taste buds to well-being.
Where Mind and Belly Meet
A Buddha bowl station is the perfect culinary complement to almost any event, especially those at which attendees are health-conscious and/or vegan. But Tony thinks that these Buddha bowl ideas work especially well for these San Francisco Bay-area venues and occasions:
- Techies particularly enjoy — no surprise — The Tech Interactive in San Jose for corporate meetings, launch parties, and annual get-togethers. The clean feeling of the space connects sublimely with the clean eating that a Buddha bowl station offers.
- Commune with nature. And grapes! Nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Picchetti Winery’s Brut Zinfandel pairs beautifully with Tony’s standard Buddha bowl. Fresh food in a place where guests want to be present for a warm-weather corporate retreat or other thoughtful event.
- Show some loving-kindness for your out-of-town wedding guests and family with Buddha bowls at an aprés-wedding gathering. Wind down from the festivities and provide the people you care about a healthy send-off.
There’s a reason rubbing the laughing Buddha’s tummy brings good luck: He probably just ate one of Tony’s Buddha bowls!
Tickle my tummy, Tony!
