Indian food catering now has a celebrity face as acclaimed Chef Floyd Cardoz and award-winning Neuman’s Kitchen have entered into an exclusive catering partnership to offer a new take on Indian cuisine with the 37-year-old catering house. With critically acclaimed restaurants in India and the US, Cardoz is best recognized as the Season Three winner of Bravo’s Top Chef Masters.

The celebrity chef will offer menus inspired by his native India as well as his experience as head chef at restaurants like Danny Mayer’s Tabla and North End Grill. The international menus created exclusively for Neuman’s Kitchen will feature such fusion plates as Black Pepper Shrimp with wild watercress and watermelon salad as well as Shishito Pepper Pakoras and will include a full range of catered items from appetizers, to entrees and desserts as well as options for a live chef station with Floyd Cardoz himself.

Chef Floyd Cardoz Neuman's KitchenWhat makes this collaboration even more special is the innovative presentation that Neuman’s Kitchen is known for. “Our goal with this collaboration,” says Paul Neuman, owner of Neuman’s Kitchen, “is to offer our clients Floyd’s highly personal approach and unique interpretations of Indian food for their catered events. It was love at first sight when we first met Floyd, and we instinctively knew that his creativity and our direction were going to be something unique in the catering arena.”   

Currently, Robb Garceau is the Executive Chef at Neuman’s Kitchen. Garceau, who has won the catering house multiple awards and whose resume includes stints at Jean-Georges and Great Performances, is known for his passion for sustainable cuisine and distinctive presentation, particularly for bridal events. Cardoz will add international flavor and celebrity appeal to the catering house’s repertoire.

“I believe that good food and good cooking are not only about how good something looks or tastes, it’s also about how good you feel while cooking for someone you love, or eating something that has been lovingly prepared for you,” Cardoz added. “The entire process of cooking is about expressing your soul. If your food does not have soul, it will not give joy to those eating it. And without soul, we are nothing. Working with Neuman’s Kitchen will allow me to offer my food to larger events, something I can’t do in my restaurants. Neuman’s Kitchen has the capabilities and reach I was looking for in such a partnership, and I am excited to start this new journey with them.”
