FORK AND GLASS is a catering company that specializes in fine dining where food and wine pairings take center stage. We create unique, customized themes for your party, to make your get - together one of a kind. Unlike any other catering company out there, we place particular emphasis on education.

We bring our knowledge to your table, friends and family and pride ourselves on bringing you only the highest quality food, wine, and service.
“IMPRESS WITHOUT THE STRESS”
Would you like to wow your friends, family, and colleagues with a fabulous party but have no desire to go to all the trouble of throwing a party? Why don’t you let us do the work – we specialize in customizing parties to your needs and desires. We thrive on paying attention to detail, while making your party feel relaxed, smooth and fun for everybody involved. You pick how involved you would like us to be – from flower decorations, rentals, music and clean-up – we are here to serve you any way you wish!
“SIMPLICITY AND FLAVOR”
“Simplicity and Flavor” are the two major factors in food that we concentrate on at Fork and Glass. We also believe that wine and food belong together; that one should always be enjoyed with the other. As a famous quote goes: “You could serve food without wine. You could also serve food without silverware”. This is how essential we feel this combination is – please come join us to discover the fabulous world of food and wine pairings!
“INTERNATIONAL”
Our years of professional experience encompass vastly different cuisines. Combined with our international backgrounds (Sunny is Norwegian, having lived in France, Italy, and Greece with family in the UK, Spain and Norway. Mark is American but of Mexican heritage with a love and vast experience of Scandinavian, Japanese and Italian cuisines) we have the advantage of being able to offer you a wide variety of foods from all over the world. We can bring new flavors to your palate – and perhaps introduce you to some ingredients you may have never heard of before, and hopefully they will become your new favorites! Anything you can think of, from Greek to Moroccan, from Spanish to Vietnamese – we bring it to you in a very personalized way!
“GROUP & CORPORATE OFFERINGS”
We also offer team-building events for companies and corporations who would like to throw a little different type of party for their employees and colleagues. Instead of just meeting for those obligatory drinks and dinners, all of which have been done so many times before, why not incorporate some additional fun to your gathering? This offering will include a lesson in wine and food pairing and can be as detailed or superficial as you and your party desire. All parties will include a recipe booklet at the end with a list of wines being served, and where they can be purchased.
