Coa Catering is a full-service catering and events company serving the Greater Philadelphia Area. Led by award-winning Chef Ted Torres, Coa events are masterful culinary experiences made to reflect your personality. Inspired by the bright colors and flavors of Latin American cuisine, their from-scratch menu is both contemporary and authentic. They source produce from River Wards, meat from Primal Supply,
In 2008, Chef Torres became executive sous chef at the Pyramid Club in Philadelphia. A few years later he appeared on the Food Network program “Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell,” where he competed against three other chefs for a job at an established Latin restaurant in New York City, Victor's Cafe. Ultimately, Chef Torres decided to decline the position and pursue his long term dream of creating his own company, what is now known as Coa Catering.
I was invited to sample a special tasting for the new Fall menu, I never mind being the guinea pig for chefs! Coa cooks out of a shared commercial kitchen space with Mom Mom's Kitchen, philly's favorite Polish food cart & NEW dine-in restaurant.
