Here’s how we can elevate your graduation celebration with exceptional food and top-tier service.
Finger Foods for Mingling
Graduation parties are meant to be fun and engaging, and finger foods are perfect for creating an interactive, relaxed atmosphere. From savory bites to sweet treats, these small plates are great for allowing guests to nibble and chat. Popular appetizers include:



Devils on Horseback: Smoky Andouille sausage and sweet dates, wrapped in crispy bacon—these savory-sweet bites are always a crowd favorite.
Duck Taquitos: Packed with tender duck and drizzled with mole sauce, topped with cotija and fresh cilantro, these handheld delights will delight your guests.
Waffle Pops with Habanero Maple Syrup Drizzle: Crispy waffles with a spicy-sweet maple syrup for a fun and flavorful snack.
Themed Food Stations for a Unique Touch
Take it up a notch with themed food stations. Here are a few themed stations to consider:



Southern BBQ: A local favorite, with smoked Tri Tip, BBQ chicken, 3-bean baked beans, and potato salad—the ultimate comfort food.
Tropical: Bring some island flair to your celebration with Jamaican jerk chicken, Kahlua pork, coconut rice, and grilled veggies.
Italian: A favorite with herb-grilled chicken breast, bowtie pasta in a sundried tomato and mushroom cream sauce, classic Caesar salad, and toasted French bread with garlic butter—an Italian feast that will leave everyone satisfied.
