San Diego’s “WILD THYME” Nominated for Best Caterer: The 10 News A List Selects Finalist.

We are excited to announce our nomination for best caterer in San Diego on 10 News A List!!! Please vote for us. Read more below.

The Wild Thyme Company, a local San Diego catering company that specializes in premiere catering and event planning, has been selected by The 10 News A List as a finalist in the best caterer category.

The News 10 A List is a city guide that asks San Diegans to vote for their choice of what they consider to be the “best” in a selected category. San Diegans are offered the chance to vote and share their valuable input about how they think a business is performing. It is a great way for locals to show their appreciation and praise for delivering high quality.

Dawn Parks, owner/chef of The Wild Thyme Company, said about being featured in the City Guide, “Being nominated for the A List is a real honor.” She went on to say, “It really gives people a behind the scenes opportunity to express their opinion.”

The Wild Thyme Company is definitely a business deserving of the nomination. The San Diego caterer not only serves up mouthwatering cuisine, like pomegranate glazed lollipop lamb chops, ricotta stuffed pumpkin ravioli and chocolate mousse martinis, it also gives back to the community by sponsoring the local Dailard Elementary School’s Dailard Dashers running team.

San Diegans love to recognize those businesses that use talent and creativity to bring something special to one of America’s finest cities. The reason why The Wild Thyme Company is recognized as a hard working catering company is because it puts a bit of heart into every catered affair. From the unique flavors of its innovative cuisine to the warmth and artistry of its presentation, the News 10 A List couldn’t have picked a more deserving nominee.

About The Wild Thyme Company: With an innovative and fresh approach to catering and event planning, The Wild Thyme Company brings a new perspective and raises the bar for off premise catering in San Diego.

Wild Thyme at BNI

The Wild Thyme Company is proud to be a member of the international business networking group BNI. As part of our membership we were asked to give a 10 minute presentation all about the ins and outs of Wild Thyme. It was a great opportunity to showcase all the services we offer; formal catering, event planning, corporate to-go service, venue rental and even gourmet lunch boxes. We believe that to truly appreciate any catering company it is important to taste their product! For our BNI presentation we were excited to provide lunch for all the Downtown Connection BNI members. The group enjoyed our Caprese with pesto grilled chicken and penne pasta as well as Lotus with Ginger marinated steak and Thai peanut noodles. These gourmet lunch boxes are the perfect solution to business lunches on the go. They come perfectly packaged and even include dessert! BNI has been a great group to be a part of and we are always excited to have networking opportunities and spread the word about Wild Thyme!
