June 6th marked the Jammin' On Janesville festivities for the greater Muskego area, put on by the Muskego Chamber of Commerce.  Record numbers of attendance were hit and local vendors were out in full effect. One such vendor was M Catering-and they did not disappoint!

 They had 2 locations this year- both serving infamous classics like Friday Night Fish Fry at the BNI location and teaming up with Muskego Firestone location for specialty Smokehouse Burgers!  Both locations also had Live music from The Love Monkeys and D2E for everyone to enjoy.

M Catering Wows at Evening of Elegance

On April 12th, M Catering was a proud participating sponsor in an incredible event that raised money benefitting the Make A Wish Foundation and Children's Hospital.  This incredible charity is An Evening of Elegance and this year marked it's 5th year.  The organization strives to help make wishes come true for children and their families.

Sweet & Spicy Mango Tartlet

Bacon & Cheese Baguette

The event, taking place at the Crowne Plaza Milwaukee West in Wauwatosa, consisted of an array of different Milwaukee restaurants coming together for one cause, and the result was absolutely delicious!  There were a variety of passed appetizers, along with tastings of wine, cheese, chocolate, and premium craft beers.  The seated dinner had plated appetizers followed by a main course-all donated by local restaurants.

The event is truly one of a kind, with all proceeds going back to the charities and no administrative costs involved-since the event relies strictly on donations.  For more information and to check out the amazing things that they are doing, check them out here.

Sweet & Spicy Grilled Chicken & Pineapple

One thing that everyone looks forward to is not just warmer weather, but all the grilling favorites that the sunny season brings! This delicious dish combines lean protein of chicken with refreshing pineapple and is rounded out with a little kick from chili powder.

Makes: 8 Servings
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 Cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 Small Onion
1 Clove Garlic, finely minced
1/2 Cup Honey
2 Teaspoons Hot Sauce
1/2 Teaspoon Chili Powder
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
8 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts
Salt and Pepper (To Taste)
1 Pineapple peeled and cored to 8 Thick Rings

• In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the honey, hot sauce and chili powder and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and set aside.

• Preheat a grill or large grill pan. Rub the chicken with the remaining olive oil and season with salt. Grill until well marked, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook until the bottoms are well marked and the chicken is cooked through, another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and brush with the reserved honey glaze. Cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.

• Meanwhile, grill the pineapple until well marked on one side, about 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve with the chicken.

Introducing: M Catering

On March 9th, Matty's Catering officially debuted their new logo and branding at the Bridal Show Expo in Brookfield.  Stephanie Sheridan, Director of Catering for the company, felt that it was time for a change and wanted something fresh and new.  So after a lot of different design options- M Catering was born.  The even larger change has been the complete face lift that the website has received!

Supper Club is Making Another Appearance

    In January, we threw our first ever Supper Club Event, and it was received with overwhelming popularity! Ticket sales for the event sold out in just over 72 hours, so we knew that we had to go for Round Two!

Guests enjoyed a Prix Fix menu of Relish Trays, a trio of Surf and Turf, as well as a classic favorite for die hard Supper Club fans-Cherries Jubilee.  Old Fashioneds, a staple of any Supper Club, were available all night, along with top wine picks from the bar.

The special guest for the evening was author and loyal Wisconsinite, Ron Faiola, who wrote the book "Wisconsin Supper Clubs, An Old Fashioned Experience."  He was on hand to give accounts of his experiences with Supper Clubs throughout Wisconsin and to also answer any questions that the guests might have.

The next Supper Club date is set for April 27th and we expect the same quick sellout from before!  Tickets will officially go on sale beginning April 14th so don't miss out on this amazing experience of food, drink, and true Wisconsin heritage.
