Judson Kleinman April 3, 2019

Corporate Essentials’ very own catering company, Martin + Fitch, has a seasonal workplace menu that is sure to please. This spring, the seasonal menu follows a Mediterranean approach. Appropriately titled “Spring in the Mediterranean” this limited-time menu offers a number of choices that should convince employees to leave their bagged lunches at home. As the name implies, Mediterranean food is inspired by meals created in countries surrounding the Mediterranean sea. Some of these areas include Italy, Morocco, Israel, Greece, Turkey, and Spain. But what exactly makes up the contents of this cuisine? Well, it turns out that it’s up to a level of interpretation due to a broad range of food origin. Despite this, a pattern meal consistency can be identified.

Introducing April’s James Beard Award Nominated Chef: Vishwesh Bhatt

Judson Kleinman April 1, 2019

Critically-acclaimed chef Vishwesh Bhatt has been delighting the taste buds of restaurant-goers in Oxford, Mississippi for ten years with his venture under the City Grocery Restaurant Group umbrella, Snackbar. This upscale, French bistro marries the local southern cuisine with influences from Bhatt’s Indian roots. The result is a menu that receives two thumbs up from foodies everywhere. Corporate Essentials is pleased to offer signature recipes by Chef Bhatt this month as a part of our Featured Chef office catering program with Martin + Fitch. Culinary Experience Vishwesh Bhatt moved from Gujarat, India in 1985 with his family after spending some time in France.

Judson Kleinman March 29, 2019

Tea Lifestyle For many people, tea is more than just a flavorful drink. It represents comfort, contains numerous health benefits, and can be enjoyed by just about anyone. It has the ability to bring people together and appreciate the unique taste it offers. Companies such as Evy Tea have been focused on the cold brew tea industry, offering a number of delicious flavors to satiate avid tea drinkers’ palates. “Cold brew tea isn’t quite a huge thing yet,” said Evy Chen, founder and cold brew aficionado at Evy Tea. “Evy Tea is actually the first cold brew tea company to market in the entire country.” The company was formed in 2014. Evy Tea is primarily focused on the cold brew industry, selling their drinks in two ways; within ready-to-drink bottles for tea enthusiasts, and on tap in a kegerator for corporate offices and food service. As the name implies, tea

Recognizing Corporate Essentials’ Women Leadership

Judson Kleinman March 28, 2019

Recognizing the many contributions to society by women is an important facet of March, officially known as Women’s History Month. As of October 2018, women make up 50.8 percent of the U.S. population. So why isn’t this number reflected by leadership roles in the workplace? According to the Center for American Progress in 2018, they said, “In a broad range of fields, their [womens’] presence in top leadership positions—as equity law partners, medical school deans, and corporate executive officers—remains stuck at five percent to 20 percent.” We’re proud to say that the team at Corporate Essentials doesn’t share this same disparity. Of the 14 people in leadership positions at the company, six are women and eight are men. In honor of Women’s History Month, we asked these six remarkable women about the responsibilities they hold as leaders. Lori Puri Director of Marketing Kara Vazquez Human Resources Manager Maura
