Chefs Katie and George Brown Announce GEORGE Catering will close at the end of February 2011
Friday, February 18, 2011 at 04:57PM DALLAS – February 17, 2011 – After a successful 12-year run, Chefs Katie and George Brown announce GEORGE Catering will close at the end of February 2011. The Browns started the company in 1999 as a temporary way to earn money, and through the years, GEORGE Catering has grown into one of the largest, highest quality catering companies in Dallas. Along the way, they also started the four-star GEORGE Restaurant and launched a successful specialty food company, Bandera Foods, maker of the Killer Pecans™.
“We would like to thank the community and our loyal clientele for helping us achieve amazing success and for turning our company into something we never expected,” George said. “With the doors closing on the past, we look to the future to take some time off to relax and spend quality time with our children, family and friends. It is our hope to travel and be inspired by food and the joy of discovering new opportunities.”
All events currently booked with GEORGE Catering will be completed with the same standard to which GEORGE clients are accustomed. In addition, Bandera Foods will continue selling Killer Pecans™, which are available online at www.killerpecans.com.
Katie and George share a passion for wholesome food and wine, and with more than 30 years experience in the food industry, they have been involved with some of the highest quality dining establishments in Dallas. In 1997, George was selected by Food & Wine Magazine as one of the year’s Top Ten Best New Chefs in the Country.
“There is no question I am looking to continue working with food. Katie and I made this decision to try to find a better balance between work and meaningful time with our triplets," George added. “But, we know cooking feeds our souls and brings us happiness. My trips to Alinea and The French Laundry changed me and made me want to move back toward even higher quality products and food on the plate. I hope to work more closely with farmers and take time to research where the food comes from or is growing. We will be cooking again soon and look forward to continuing to provide exceptional food in the years to come.”
