About Us
Owner Debbie Newman grew up cooking with her grandmother, a native San Franciscan. It was during these culinary adventures that she discovered her love of cooking and passion for creating dishes with fresh, local ingredients and an appreciation of not only healthy and delicious foods, but also colorful and visually appealing presentations.
At Debbie’s Creative Catering, our entire culinary team shares Debbie’s enthusiasm for great food and our dishes are a reflection of this passion. We will work within your budget to create a well-balanced menu that is colorful, delicious and fun!
Our team takes great pride in creating health conscious dishes that leave a lasting impression.

If orders are not canceled within the required timeframe charges will incur.
