Ali Cat's Fine Catering
Bay Area 2004-Current
You'll find only the freshest available ingredients in our kitchen. In fact, most of the shopping is done personally by Ali, the head chef. She purchases the finest organic ingredients from local farmers' markets, selects only the season's freshest meats, fish, and poultry from the best local sources, and always knows where to get the best ingredients available. Why do we go to all this trouble? Because you'll taste the difference!
