Our staff actually gets excited now when it comes time to set-up a buffet because they have great products to work with and they can get creative. When it comes to the "art of presentation", get on board with Gourmet Display."
MATHEW SMALL-Executive Chef / Vellassaru, Madives
Gourmet Display products offer great value and look very nice on our buffets. Their “cold concept’ keeps meat temperatures around 5-7 degrees C. and are used on our open air BBQ stations for two to three hours at a time! Several different hotels in our chain (including the Velassaru, Kurumba and Kuramathi) are quite pleased with this company’s performance. I
would certainly recommend them…

MEGAN CAHOON-Event Coordinator / LOU & MICKEY'S RESTAURANT / San Diego, CA.
- Gourmet Display- 4 months ago I received a series of copper veined, tiered platters with the green tinted glass, (a beautiful combination). Since then I have used them for numerous large party receptions & they have held up great. Thanks to your beautiful line, I have been able to elevate my events to a new standard. Never again will I have to camouflage risers under draped linen to gain the extra height needed to make an impressive statement. I truly look forward to my next order.
Note: this order placed thru an e-commerce dealer, Chef's Services Incorporated.

- I have been working with Gourmet Display for over 13 years to help me provide cutting edge merchandising for the catering businesses I have managed, from SAFECO Field in Seattle to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. In my experience with Gourmet Display I have been completely satisfied, from the innovation to the quality and value of the merchandising products they provide. Over the years I have also challenged them to customize products in order to meet the varied needs of the facilities I have managed, and each time they have met the challenge.

VICTOR NUNBERG-President / MAJESTIC CATERERS-North Miami Beach, FL.
"We are now in our 18th year of operations and have been using Gourmet Display exclusively for over 15 years. We are very satisfied with their products and service. Gourmet Display continually comes up with new ideas and let's us keep up with changing times. They have added to our presentations and their products allow us to display more with less space. Prices are very reasonable and competitive.

JOHN HARRIS-F&B Director / SHERATON SAND KEY RESORT-Clearwater Beach, FL. (excerpt from Hotel Food & Beverage Magazine)
- To ensure his meals are presented in an appealing manner, John Harris, has relied on Gourmet Display for the last ten years. "The quality of their products is very good. They keep coming out with new, innovative ways to display food..." he says. Harris counts on Gourmet Display to meet his needs for everything from; "standard mirrors for cheese presentation, to smaller platters, to tiered bowls," he says. Furthermore, he likes the company's unique offerings; "One thing that's a little bit different is they do tiers that support* a mix of bowls and platters".
- It doesn't hurt that Harris has found Gourmet Display to have friendly and efficient service; "The service is very good. Filling the orders and getting them out to us is a very short turnaround time," he says. "Sometimes companies will take two or three weeks to a month, but invariably from the time they **get our purchase order we have them the next week."
*Note: our metal tiers are perfectly counter balanced, holding the bowls-platters very securely, to reduce accidents and spills during foodservice or replenishment
**Note; ordered from their foodservice dealer and thank you Edward Don & Company for their order
Byron Bjorklund-Owner/Short Stop Custom Catering-St Cloud, MN.
- "The Canoe Tier display we purchased has been invaluable as a Coffee Station. We use shaved chocolate, lemons , raw sugar, heavy whipping cream amaretto flavored, cinnamon sticks. People love it and for low cost it turns an ordinary coffee into a WOW coffee upsell station. Thank you for providing presentations for us."

- I am so happy to own this deluxe ice carving pedestal <IP501>. It has been a great help for me when I do my ice carving sculptures. I purchased it about 20 years ago and it's been a great help. I will strongly recommend this display because it brings out the beauty of your ice carving sculptures; it is like giving them the final touch!!
