hands-on c ater ing and e vents

At FCI, our mission is fresh, creative innovation.

FCI was formed to be a ground-breaking extension
of the French Culinary Institute, now the
International Culinary Center (ICC). Our
number one priority is always taste, which is why
guests consistently hail our food as the best meal
theyve ever eaten, but FCI quite simply boils
down to our commitment to promote good eating
in all senses of the word: delicious, healthy,
ethical and sustainable. Our food is seasonal,
organically grown, and locally sourced whenever
possible. With stunning presentation and
full-service food and beverage options, let us
take care of your big day for you, so you can
focus on what s really important. Eating.

Hands-On Experiences
What sets FCI apart from other caterers is the
interactive, hands-on capabilities we have for
events; perfect for engagement parties, bridal
showers, bachelor/bachelorette parties and more.

Market Basket Competition

For this hands-on experience, guests will enjoy

a fun and fast-paced culinary competition
(similar to the show Chopped). Each team
will receive a basket filled with mystery
ingredients. In 45 minutes, each team will need
to create a signature dish that features the
mystery ingredients, while also being allowed
to use items from FCIs extensive pantry.

Bourbon & Butchery

During the tasting, guests will learn the history

of bourbon, the process of distillation, and taste
different types of batches. After, they are guided
through a whole-animal butchery by one of our
Master Butchers, who will walk the guests
through a demonstration of breaking down a
suckling pig. Guests will learn how to utilize
the entire animal from nose to tail.
