Vendor Profile: Crave

Crave was the featured caterer at the open house at La Paloma on Saturday…and wooo-wee are they appropriately named. We are still talking about their “fancy mac & cheese” dish. Bonus: everything is served on/with biodegradable bamboo and other eco-friendly products. It a great way to be both stylish and green.
