One year a world renowned oil company based in Houston, Texas, came to New York City, taking over Le Cirque for their Board of Directors Annual Dinner. The following year they selected Barraud Caterers to celebrate their board members’ gala dinner. At the highly successful tasting, the first praise Barraud Caterers heard immediately after the meal was “Well, I think we should just get out of the way and you design the menu and evening for us.”
