Let Hunger + Thirst
Restaurant Group Cater
to You!
If you’re a fan of the Hunger +
Thirst Restaurant Group you’ll
be excited to know that they
provide catering services both
on-site or off-site. The beauty of
having multiple restaurants allows
for a unique catering experience.
You can host a party at your home
or office and cater food in from
The Avenue, Proper and Kings.
Pick just one or two or have your
favorites from all three.
If you choose to host a party or
event at one of their locations (i.e.
the Kings outdoor patio or at Park
& Rec) you can “crisscross” your
catering. That is, you can have
a party on the Kings patio but
cater your food from Proper. So
whether you’re looking for creative
burgers from The Avenue, new
American street food from Kings
or southern-inspired BBQ from
Proper, you’re in luck. Want more

FINEDINE ORGANIC CUISINE
The holiday party circuit can leave anyone
hungry for healthy foods. That’s not to say
guests must nibble carrots and celery at
your next soiree. This local chef/caterer
specializes in preparing foods made from
natural, organic, non-GMO ingredients
that pass the taste test so well that diners
don’t feel deprived. Even the most avid
carnivores devour her meatless Swedish
meatballs.
Chef Mary Skinner of FineDine Organic
Cuisine has seen a de��nite upturn in clients
seeking more nutritious menus to enjoy
at home—whether just for themselves, or
guests invited for a cocktail party, sit down
dinner or bountiful buffet.
“I have seen the popularity of vegan,
vegetarian and foods with a healthy
focus grow tremendously since I moved
to St. Petersburg 10 years ago,” she said.
"Ingredients like kale have been promoted
from mere garnishes to meal mainstays.
Gluten-free spaghetti, zucchini noodles,
turnip ravioli and cauli��ower rice are
increasingly ��nding fans."
