About
Beginning in 2012, my lifelong passion for culinary arts and career in film production culminated in the pursuit of my food service businesses. Through diverse experiences and events, I have specialized in several areas that set Green Chow Down apart in the catering industry. Each event is unique and special, and I customize menus based on preferences, themes, purposes, and any dietary requirements. I take pride in preparing a wide selection of globally-inspired cuisines, including Pan-Asian, Pan-European, Pan-Latin American, Pan-Middle Eastern, and Pan-African fare, as well as traditional American and California fresh dishes. Additionally, I specialize in creating fusion dishes and catering to dietary restrictions such as gluten-free and vegan options. My ability to "veganize" menus and offer the largest selection of plant-based and gluten-free options makes Green Chow Down stand out.My team and I use only the highest quality, freshest ingredients and follow a farm-to-table, slow-food approach when creating our gourmet menus. We also offer full-service options including staffing, equipment rental, bartender partners, decoration, and event planning and coordination. We have served at noteworthy events that range from cooking for airplane passengers to serving behind the Black Eyed Peas on stage, and can accommodate specific dietary needs such as kosher and halal menus.
We cater to both corporate and personal events, including conferences, team building, holiday parties, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, retirements, showers, and memorials. Our dessert menu includes a variety of options, from gluten-free to low glycemic sweetened, vegan, paleo, and keto. We also specialize in incorporating logos onto icings and frostings. All team members are certified as food handlers, and I am certified as a food safety manager. When you choose to work with Green Chow Down, you can expect the highest level of professionalism, skill, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Contact us today to discuss how we can create a memorable and exclusive affair for you.

I had an exceptional experience with Green Chow Down that went above and beyond my expectations! Angela proved to be extremely accommodating, responsive, and resourceful in providing recommendations that took our event to the next level. Her extensive knowledge and expertise in the culinary industry were clearly evident. The guests were ecstatic about the elegant presentation and high-quality vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore Mediterranean hors d'oeuvres and dessert options, and they continued to rave about them for days after the event. If you're looking for professionalism, class, and a vibrant food art presentation, then I highly recommend Green Chow Down. Angela's exceptional staff matches her passion and creativity, making it the perfect addition to any event. I can't wait to work with them again!
Sincerely,
A HAPPY Customer

Angela was an ideal choice for my occasion. She displayed exceptional professionalism by providing a contract for review and maintaining clear communication throughout the entire process. Though I was anxious being a first-time caterer hirer, she exceeded my expectations! Her cuisine was simply scrumptious 😋.

For my wedding with around 80 guests, Angela was the caterer. Her food was absolutely fantastic. We chose the portobello wellington, malfati and roasted veggies, all of which were delicious. The wellington was particularly amazing, while the malfati and veggies were good and okay, respectively. We also had a garden salad that was utterly fantastic and definitely the standout dish. Unfortunately, there were a few issues with the kitchen and service staff. Three tables ended up waiting for over an hour and fifteen minutes after everyone else had already been served. Despite hiring four servers, our bartender had to assist in serving food, which left the event manager to oversee the bar. While the food was wonderful, there were some organizational issues that were a bit disappointing.

Angela from Green Chow Down has made us tremendously thrilled by agreeing to cater for our wedding! I was really hoping for a fusion-style brunch menu, and Angela delivered it beautifully. The taste-testing session was fantastic, and I'm now most looking forward to the food on our big day :) Additionally, I asked for a chai spice cake, and Angela is going to prepare that for us as well! My fiancé and I are beyond delighted to have discovered Angela!
