All About Our Award-Winning Catering & Event Design Company
The Painted Table is the result of the combined culinary design efforts of chefs Rodney and Jeromie Hansen. Together they forged one of the top catering companies in the Central Valley, known for wildly original menu presentations and wildly pleasing event coordination.
With culinary traditions steeped in the culture of California’s heartland, Chef Rod and Chef Jeromie started The Painted Table catering company in December of 2007. Word spread across the Central Valley, and The Painted Table continued to build their reputation.
Chef Rod explains, “Our major milestone was in 2010 when we acquired The Daily Planet, in the historic Tower District, as our permanent physical venue location. To keep up with demand, our warehouse and office expanded in 2016, and we just hit our 10-year anniversary in December of 2017.”
Statewide, we’re particularly proud that we won the Best Catering Award by the California Restaurant Association for 2015.
Most recently, on the worldwide stage, we received the 2017 CATIE Award (Catered Arts Through Innovative Excellence Award) from the International Caterers Association. We came home with the Best Signature Caterer for a Special Event Award, where our Underground Supper Club ‘Evening at the Forestiere Underground Gardens’ was honored.”
What’s their secret to such high recognition? The Painted Table delivers deliciously eclectic cuisine tailored for any special event, from weddings and corporate gatherings to intimate family affairs and celebrations. You’ll be wowed by a memorable experience that no other caterer can provide, where the presentation looks like a work of art and the service goes far beyond expectations.
The true success of The Painted Table’s delectable originality is reflected in their prestigious local, national, and international honors. “We’ve landed on the Fresno Bee’s People’s Choice list for ever since we opened our doors in the Tower District in 2010. Fresno Magazine awarded us with Best Catering in 2011, which was pretty cool. Expertise.com named us as one of the Best Caterers in Fresno for 2018.
The Painted Table event coordination team takes care of every detail so that you don’t have to. No wonder they are the “go to” caterers for community fundraisers, celebrity parties, and VIPs in every walk of life.
“Our clients know our catering will be a unique and excellent experience,” guarantees Chef Jeromie. This experience can be yours for at next event—Contact our total event designers at 559-443-7199 to get started.
