One of Toronto's highly anticipated events took place on Sunday, Oct 14, 2018. The third annual 2018
Toronto Catering Showcase presented by
EventSource.ca was held at the state-of-the-art The Globe and Mail Centre, and it was a grand success! Over 500 food enthusiasts came together to enjoy an afternoon of delicious cuisine and bottomless drinks.

Upon entering the venue, guests were greeted by the grandeur designed by
Ashley Pigott Events. The carefully curated room was filled with an abundance of wedding and event inspirations to all. One of the main events of the evening was the indulgence of culinary delights prepared by 12 of Toronto's notable and trend setting culinary caterers. That did not disappoint, as there were a variety of signature dishes, refreshing beverages and dainty yet delicate desserts.
This year's event relocated to a new venue at The Globe and Mail Centre. The venue itself was refined, and had a spacious balcony lounge where guests were greeted with a lovely view of the city's sleek skyline. Like previous year events, this one was well-organized and each booth had enough designated space between them for guests to grab food comfortably. Additionally, the modern event space was given a more refreshed look with comfy leather couches and stand-tables giving guests more options for seating.

The event was ideal for those looking for caterers for their next event such as weddings and parties, corporate planners or your everyday culinary connoisseurs. Each caterer prepared about two to three different dishes and desserts, where guests were able to sample each delectable culinary dish. All of the caterers at the show offer personalized culinary experiences and most do draw inspiration from global or current food trends. Tickets were priced at $65 per person giving each guest an all-inclusive pass giving a complete access to an afternoon of pure epicurean indulgence – no food tickets, no drink tickets, no other charges.
The
Toronto Catering Showcase allowed guests to enjoy an afternoon of pure epicurean indulgence. Besides the delicious dishes, the event also featured local wines by sommelier from
Peller Estates, and a wide selection of craft beer provided by
Brunswick Bierworks. Overall, the event was the perfect opportunity to scope out potential caterers for an upcoming event or wedding. However, it wasn't limited to those looking for event planning,
Toronto Catering Showcase was fun for couples, families, and
everyday culinary connoisseurs.
