Gourmet Fine Catering held the grand opening of its new location at 3600 East 40^th Avenue on Wednesday, November 12. Hundreds of guests enjoyed the delectable delights created by the chefs; each chef was to create a small plate paired with a drink. Our firm was honored to do the public relations for this occasion.

“It is also important for us to embrace our new neighborhood,” said co-owner, Darby Donohue. “Attendees enjoyed a performance by the Blue Knights Percussion Ensemble as they arrived. We also welcomed local graffiti artists from the neighborhood and students from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design to paint murals live on a wall of our new building.”

Gourmet Fine Catering operated out of its 10,000-square-foot space at 2601 Blake Street in Denver until June 2008, when it moved to E. 40^th Avenue. The company’s new building features the following:

• 23,000 square feet on 1.5 acres
• 12,000 square foot state-of-the-art exhibition kitchen with 5,000 square feet of refrigeration
• 1,500 square foot tasting room and entertaining space with built-in bar, entertainment systems, and rotation art programming.
• Green company program: energy efficient building, water conservation, recycling program, environmentally friendly cleaning supplies, green disposable ware program

“Our new facility will help take our company to the next level,” commented co-owner Syd Sexton. “More than doubling our space, Gourmet’s new facility will increase our production capabilities—while still ensuring great food quality for our customers.”

Gourmet Fine Catering was formed when Syd Sexton of Alex Brooks Fine Catering and Darby Donohue and Kent Kidwell of Gourmet Alternative merged their companies in 2002. Setting the standard for catered events of distinction in Colorado, Gourmet employs top chefs in the area and a team of event managers to help organize events of any caliber—from corporate meetings to charity galas to weddings.
