KITCHIT CONFIDENTIAL
Chef Sarah Burchard wears many toques: She is a veritable master of new Italian cuisine from her tenure at acclaimed Barbacco, in San Francisco, but she also knows how to roll up her sleeves and fire up the grill for some down-home barbecue, and gives the city's Mexican establishments a run for their money with her authentic and flavorful Latin cuisine. Chef Sarah's event offerings match the gamut of her expertise. She will pull out all the stops and create a decadent and delicious new Italian tasting menu, or if you don't feel like opening the fancy wine, you can hire her for a Mexican-themed brunch where Coronas and Bloody Marys will fit the bill. Since leaving the restaurant industry, Chef Sarah has developed a line of barbecue sauces, which adds even more credibility to her pit-master cred. When it comes to slow-cooked meats, Chef Sarah is definitely not messing around. All of her barbecue events include meats that she smokes herself, low and slow, for hours and hours and hours. What unites Chef Sarah's seemingly disparate cuisine offerings, though, is her commitment to quality, attention to detail, and overall drive to turn out perfect, delicious food. After years of working in fast-paced restaurants, delivering the highest quality - in terms of ingredients and final dishes - is second nature to Chef Sarah, so regardless of what she's cooking for you, prepare to be blown away.

BIO
I have 10+ years restaurant experience and a lifetime passion for cooking. I have worked at some of the top Bay Area restaurants as well as many high end charity and catered events. My repertoire includes Italian, French, Cajun, Southern BBQ and beyond. I'm also well versed in all forms of charcuterie and I own a business called S&S Brand which sells my homemade BBQ sauces and spice rubs.
ITALIAN
Whether it is a rustic dish like Osso Buco or more refined like Agnolotti you will experience the best ingredients cooked in a way that will allow them to shine on their own. Pure Italia.
FRENCH
Discover pure decadence. This won't be a low fat meal but it will be one that you remember. Indulge in fine pates and cheeses and rich sauces. Don't forget the pastries, too!
BBQ
Succulent, flavorful meats are the heart of this cuisine. Ribs, chicken, brisket, pulled pork, and hot links. And don't even get me started on the sides!
CAJUN/CREOLE
Close your eyes, you're in New Orleans. Spicy and comforting, this food will hit you on all levels. Think Shrimp & Andouille Jambalaya and Fried Oyster Po' Boys.
MEXICAN
Working with a lot of Latinos over the years, I've learned a lot about authentic Mexican food. I love the use of chilies, cheese, crema and lots of fresh lime in this cuisine.
BRUNCH
I won my boyfriend's heart with my eggs benedict. There are a lot of fun things you can do with brunch by combining different cuisines and making a tapas style menu. Although you have to admit, it's all about the champagne!
