I have to admit it, I love Mexican food. Yeah, that puts me in a unique category with about 100 million other people around here, but it’s just good. And while I have a couple of little hole in the wall type places around the southwest (more west) that I just have to eat in every time I pass through, Salsarita’s is my go-to choice in Knoxville. What you may not know is that they should also be your first choice among Knoxville catering companies.

‘Iron Chef’ is a crazy Japanese import cooking game show that features accomplished chefs from around the world going head to head in a competition format that’s part Julia Child, part pro wrestling. Even non-foodies are drawn to the show for its sheer entertainment value.

One of the few restaurants in the country to be immortalized in a Sinatra song, the Pump Room in Chicago is now a hot spot once again. The Pump Room was one of the first quality restaurants to open in Chicago after the end of Prohibition, and soon became a Windy City icon. In addition to Sinatra (who sang the praises of the place in the classic song Chicago), the place was a favorite hangout of a lot of famous people including Marilyn Monroe, Sammy Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Ronald Reagan, Bette Davis and numerous others. The Pump Room, named after a spa in Bath, England, remained open long after the giants that once graced its premises had left. Unfortunately, time took its toll on the legendary establishment, and its culinary fare was soon surpassed by the fine dining scene exploding in Chicago and characterized by uber-chef Charlie Trotter.

If you have been to a few weddings, large corporate parties, fundraisers or engagement parties, then you most probably have seen a few banquet halls up-close and personal. The banquet halls are large indoor areas that are spacious and well-equipped to cater for large number of people. They are also usually located away from residential areas, often in rural or picturesque surroundings, which allow the event to continue well into the night, without breaking any residential area laws and regulations.
