Les menus de Jean-Philippe Sitbon, Santa Barbara

Bonjour!
I would like to thank you for selecting the catering of Jean-Philippe Sitbon for your upcoming event. I am looking forward to serving you and your guests. In order to provide you with uncompromising levels of cuisine, wine and service, I would like to arrange certain details before the date of the event.

As you may already know, I am a native of Versailles, France and received my culinary training at the prestigious Tecomah School in Paris. My career began as a chef at Marius et Janette, the top-rated seafood restaurant in Paris and continued at the Ritz Hotel in both Paris and London, The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Pasadena, California, and most recently as a chef/owner of the Santa Barbara Authentique in downtown Santa Barbara, CA.
I have enclosed some of the menu options that work well for dinner parties and larger groups as well as wine recommendations. The selection that you see is listed in the format of a cocktail menu and various buffet and plated menus. I can personalize the menu of your choice and the event. I would like to let you know that I use only the finest, fresh, locally-grown organic ingredients, and prepare them using traditional French cooking methods, updated to meet the demands of a modern health-conscious diet. It is food as food was meant to be.

Please take the time to review this information and if you wish you may select your choices and send them back to me via email at jpsitbon@bigfoot.com. I will be in contact with you closer to the date of the event to finalize all of the details.
