Since starting in a small storefront in 1979, New York Food Company has become one of Southern California's top catering firms, producing hundreds of events a month and approaching each one with an eye for detail, service and quality.

When founder Louise Talbot opened her small deli in Hermosa Beach, California, she didn't realize that a staff of more than 150 people and 15,000 square feet of bustling kitchens was in her future. But when she met her future husband, Joe Lohman, also a chef, together they began to formulate the foundation of what today is New York Food Company.

A big part of that foundation was a credo that both Louise and Joe live and work by -- to offer "Great Food. Anywhere. Anytime." Today, this motto is taken to heart by the entire company.

Dedication to quality and service and the underlying philosophy that no detail is too small is what makes NYFC successful. Everyone at NYFC brings experience, knowledge and creativity to everything the company does, from delivering sandwiches to your boardroom to planning and catering your wedding to producing a gourmet sit-down meal under a tent.

In addition to producing events and supplying more than 3,000 South Bay corporations with gourmet meals for meetings and daily lunches, NYFC also manages two of the South Bay's most sought-after ocean-view event sites for social events, weddings and corporate meetings and events -- La Venta Inn and Verandas.

True to its founder's vision, New York Food Company continues to grow, innovate and explore every possible way to turn your dreams into a special event that you'll never forget. < click here to go back to vendors >
