Balboa Catering

Balboa Catering is a family-owned business that offers a finer take on catered food -- one forged through Chef Alex Garfinkel's years of experience at iconic restaurants around the world. While Alex runs the kitchen, Jocelyn Garfinkel -- a veteran of New York's Tribeca Grill and Park Avenue Cafe -- manages the front of the house at our artisan-crafted kitchen and event venue in Philadelphia: Balboa at American Silk. And sometimes we get a helping hand from Little Chef Wesley and Baby Ethan.

​Our approach focuses on both quality and sustainability, which is reflected in our sourcing of responsibly raised proteins and seasonal vegetables, as well as the unique and ever-changing menus we offer our clients. We believe great meals stem from one simple principle: know what's in your food and where it comes from, because the finest ingredients produce the most delicious dishes. ​We're a boutique catering company offering a full range of services, including personal chef experiences, in-home parties, cooking classes, public supper clubs, weddings, and more. We take care of the staff and rentals needed for your event, so you can enjoy!
