Pair Exhilarating Drinks with Entertainment at AT&T Performing Arts Center

June 7, 2023June 16, 2023

Enjoying a performance at the AT&T Performing Arts Center is one of the most rewarding experiences in the Arts District. A new trend in performance-inspired beverages is taking shape, and our team is skillfully taking in elements of the artists that perform to create refreshing and unique beverages throughout many performances.

Performance-Inspired Beverages

With all of the new musicals and shows coming to AT&T Performing Arts Center, it’s essential that each experience has its unique highlights to bring the show to life for all of our guests. Take, for example, the debut of Legally Blonde The Musical, paired with its very own cocktail sponsored by SKYY Vodka, ‘The Blonde Ambition’ cocktail brought the experience into the hands of the attendees. Any event, show, or musical has the ability to inspire new opportunities for our team to elevate your experience at the AT&T Performing Arts Center.

Seasonal Sips That Satisfy

As each season approaches us, our team takes inspiration from the energy of the Dallas Arts community and the fresh take of Chef Jeffery. Our goal is to make our latest creations your greatest obsession – like our hot chocolate and our espresso/coffee to warm you up during the cold season or our tropical trio during the summer when it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

If you are stopping by for a performance or an event, make sure to try one or more of our latest beverage creations – we hope it’ll be your next go-to refreshment!

Conventions, Galas, and Festivals – Oh My!

Full-Service Catering for Grandiose Themed Conventions, Galas, and Festivals

When you have a multi-faceted and full-scale event, it’s important that all the elements of your event – from catering and bar services to the theme are all working together effortlessly. The goal is to execute the event seamlessly and exceed guest expectations in the process! Our team recently catered the IACP 2022 Annual Conference for over 7,000 police chiefs and their guests at Gilley’s Dallas! The theme was ‘A Texas Road Trip’ with lots of activities, entertainment, and menu items that gave these international guests a truly Texan experience! Planning the largest catered event in our company history was no easy task, but our team was up for the challenge and implemented creative solutions to ensure this Texas-sized event was executed perfectly!

Food Stations & Tray Passed Small Plates

Having a grand event includes an exquisite dining experience that allows all your guests to enjoy delicious cuisine, even when there are over 7,000 of them! Food stations are a great option when feeding a large crowd because they allow your guests to choose what they want to eat, whenever they’d like without waiting in long lines. In addition to stationed menus, we tray-passed small plates and hors d’oeuvres to guests while they mingled with other attendees and participated in activities during the event! The combination of food stations and tray passing allowed lines to stay short and for guests to have a carefree experience while they enjoy a variety of classic Texan fare!

Bar Catering

Part of creating a memorable event experience is ensuring the bar catering is top-notch! There is no doubt that what is served at the bar is important, but the presentation is what really sets your bar catering apart from the rest and will leave guests talking for weeks to come! This can be accomplished through decor or by incorporating the theme in what is served at the bar. A few of our favorite ways to incorporate themes are tastings (whiskey, craft beer, wine, tequila – the possibilities are endless), signature drinks and special garnishes. For large events like IACP it’s not only important that beverages look and taste great, but that they are easily accessible to guests at multiple bars/stations throughout the event venue.

Creating Experiences

A memorable catered event does not rely on food or bar services alone – a full and robust theme with all the bells and whistles that are executed alongside it will add the special touch it needs to elevate it from an event to an experience. G Texas creates the ambiance, the magic, and the essence of your event’s theme to give your guests a stunning experience. Imagine a western-themed party, complete with Brisket Sliders, Frito Pies, and guitars. What would take this event over the top and turn it into an experience?

Vaqueros on horseback, live longhorns, trick ropers, local and national country music performers, armadillo races, games and so much more are great examples of how our team worked with the event planners at Gilley’s Dallas to give the IACP the full Texas experience.

Creating memorable experiences for guests entails an enormous amount of planning. As a full-service caterer, our team is dedicated to curating a cohesive theme that is packed full of fun flavors, activities, and entertainment. We work on the event from beginning to end to ensure that we’re always procuring memorable experiences that go beyond the palette.

Our team at G Texas lives and breathes grandiose events and making them come alive with upscale catering and bar services along with full-scale themes into a genuinely memorable experience is what excites our team the most. Let us ideate your next convention, gala, or festival – Contact us today!

How to Incorporate Seasonal Flavors in your Event Catering: Hatch Chili Mac and Cheese

August 22, 2019July 5, 2023

Recipes/Uncategorized

One of the most important factors to consider when planning a catered event is seasonality. Ask your Dallas caterer about what ingredients are in season during the time your event will occur. Your caterer in Dallas should also recommend popular food items from the area and incorporate them into your menu as well! This time of year, in the Southwest United States is known as Hatch Chile Season! As a caterer in Dallas, our culinary teams love to spice up traditional dishes with Hatch Chiles every year – one of our favorites is Hatch Chile Mac and Cheese! Here is how you can re-create this super simple but delicious dish at home!

Hatch Chili Mac and Cheese

Serves (4-6)

Ingredients

2 Large Hatch Chile Peppers

8 oz of Elbow Macaroni

6 oz Whipping Cream

4 oz Smoked Cheddar grated

1 teaspoon Kosher Salt

1 teaspoon Minced Garlic

1 teaspoon Butter

Directions

Over an open flame, roast both sides of the Hatch Chiles until they blister. Place the blistered Chiles in a covered dish (such as a bowl with plastic wrap) and let them sit for about 5 minutes. While they sit, the Chiles will begin to sweat. Rinse the Chiles in cold water until their skin has been removed (if you have sensitive hands, you may want to wear gloves). Remove the seeds and finely dice the Chiles.

In a 4-quart saucepan add 2.5 quarts of water and the kosher salt. Once this begins to boil add the elbow pasta stirring regularly. Elbow takes about 9-11 minutes to cook. Once cooked remove from heat and drain

Meanwhile in another 4-quart saucepan melt the butter and add the diced Hatch Green Chiles and garlic. Sautee for 1 minute stirring with rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium and add whipping cream. Once cream begins to simmer (not boil), slowly add in the smoked cheddar 1 ounce at a time, using a wire whisk to stir.

Add your warm, drained elbow pasta to your cheese sauce, top with cheese or breadcrumbs – or both and enjoy!
