CHEF UPDATES
Occasions Caterers, is welcoming Adam Howard as its new executive chef this spring. Chef Howard comes to Occasions after a two-year stint as executive chef of the Michelin-starred Blue Duck Tavern, bringing along decades of experience in top-tier kitchens throughout New York City, the South and in the D.C. metro area. The jump from fine dining to the catering world was a natural fit for Howard, who says he and the Occasions team share a passion for bridging the gap between the two culinary platforms by creating innovative, high-quality dining options.
