Dining designed around the occasion
No two gatherings are exactly the same, and I don't believe the food should be either. Menus are built around the occasion, number of guests, style of service and the kind of evening you want to create.
Private Dining
I bring Corbin Cooking directly to your home or private venue, taking care of the food so you can spend more time enjoying the people you’ve brought together. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a larger celebration with family and friends, the menu is built around your gathering, your tastes and the kind of evening you want to have.
Family-Style Dining
Family-style dining is all about putting great food in the middle of the table and sharing it with the people around you. I prepare generous, scratch-cooked dishes designed to be passed around and enjoyed together, whether it’s a family celebration, dinner with friends or a relaxed weekend gathering. I take care of the cooking so you can sit down, enjoy the meal and be part of the evening.
Interactive Stations
A relaxed and interactive way to serve a group, these make-your-own plate stations let everyone build their meal exactly the way they like it. I prepare all the ingredients, toppings and sauces, then set everything up so guests can mix, match and create their own plate throughout the evening.
Choose from three Corbin Cooking stations:
Taco Station - Choose two seasoned meats, fresh toppings, house-made sauces and all the fixings for guests to build their own tacos.
Poutine Station - Seasoned cheese curds, rich gravy and a selection of meats, toppings and sauces to make it your own.
Ahi Tuna Station - Seared ahi tuna with fresh vegetables, rice, toppings and sauces for a lighter, West Coast-inspired option.
It’s casual, social and built around what I enjoy most about food - bringing people together and letting everyone enjoy the experience around the table.
