We want to thank Steve Bentley for sharing his images of Italy on our gallery wall. He not only captures the beauty and ambiance of the region in his photography, but is also a talented designer.
The gathering on Jan. 28th was great fun, and our chefs created some delicious Tuscan-inspired cuisine to accompany the wine & merry-making. Of course, Steve took some shots of the buffet. Check out the food below.
Paula & the team are always interested in meeting (and surpassing) your catering needs so let us know if you’d like any of these delicious dishes at your next gathering.

The Chinese New Year begins today on January 23, 2012, and kicks off the Year of the Water Dragon. According to Tarot.com, Dragon years always encourage growth and change.
Stephanie Dempsey, an author, Feng Shui practitioner and astrologer, had this to say about the lunar New Year:
Be sensitive to others this year. The more kindness and consideration you extend during a Water Dragon year, the more rewards you will reap. When you think in terms of what’s best for the group or most beneficial for a relationship, you’ll benefit greatly from all the prosperity this Chinese New Year has to offer. Anyone considering getting married or starting a business is in luck; the Year of the Water Dragon favors new endeavors of all kinds.
“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
After the Newbury bonfire this Saturday, most everyone we know will be headed to the nearest TV to watch the New England Patriots take on the Denver Broncos in the NFL playoffs. Even with Tebow’s apparent divine assistance, we are sure that Brady and our favorite team will emerge victorious on our home turf.
Watching the big game takes a lot of endurance, so we recommend stocking up on hearty food along with your munchies. What are your favorite foods for football? Chili? Subs? Chicken wings? Take some of the worry out of your day by pre-ordering some food from our catering menu.
Carry Out Cafe & Catering has homestyle deli sandwiches, tortilla wraps, finger rolls & crusty french bread subs available for your guests to devour. If tasty bites are more your thing, we can provide hot bites prepared oven-ready in foil trays so all you have to do is heat & eat. Choose from southwest quesadillas, coconut shrimp, crabcakes, baby red stuffed potatoes, thai chicken skewers and more. For a cool bite, try blackened chicken tenders, roasted tenderloin of beef crostini, assorted antipasto skewers and more.
And for those of you keeping with your resolutions and eating lighter, we can give you a garden vegetable crudité tray with two dips, an imported and domestic cheese presentation with seasonal berries, grapes, assorted crackers, or a mediterranean tray featuring hummus, bruschetta & tapenade, imported olives, roasted garlic, peppers, crudités, and pita crisps.
So give us a call at 978-499-2240. We can help make your next tailgate a success foodwise….it’s up to you to don your lucky shirt/hat/facepaint to make sure the game goes our way!
With a few days to go in 2011, we’ve been thinking of resolutions. Someone once said that a New Year’s resolution is something that “goes in one (y)ear and out the other.” Do you make any resolutions? Are they public or private? Do you manage to keep any?
If eating healthier is one of your resolutions, we’ve got your back. We always strive to keep our meals fresh and local. If you are ordering food for a business lunch meeting or a gathering of friends, we can help provide options that are lower calorie or vegan or adhere to specific dietary restrictions.
If helping out your neighbor is one of your resolutions, then we are also of like minds. Carry Out Cafe is a proud supporter of many charities and non-profit organizations in the Greater Newburyport area. We welcome partnerships and think it’s important to give back to our community. Getting involved is not just good for others; it also is good for your own soul.
Good ol’ Ben, who was so good at coming up with catchy phrases, sums it up nicely:
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. ~ Benjamin Franklin
