Alright Auburn, summer is officially here, and you know what that means, right? It’s picnic season! Now listen, we all love the idea of picnics. You’re picturing sunshine, laughter, good vibes, and somebody's abuela sneaking in her special empanadas wrapped in aluminum foil. But let’s be real for a minute—picnics can also go sideways faster than a family game of dominoes after a few too many cervezas.

You ever been to one of those picnics where people start pulling out questionable dishes nobody asked for? Like your cousin Tony showing up with a potato salad that's more mayonnaise than potato, and your tia Maria with that mysterious casserole nobody can identify? Yeah, I see you nodding—because we’ve all been there, praying that nobody gets food poisoning before the sun goes down.

But let me tell you something, familia—this year, you don’t have to put up with that. Nah, this year, we’re gonna level up your picnic game. We’re talking West Hill Deli’s event catering in Auburn—big flavors, zero stress, and dishes so delicious, even your most judgmental tia will stop complaining (at least for five minutes).


Why Event Catering is the Move for Your Summer Picnic

Here’s the truth, folks: picnics are supposed to be fun, relaxing, and full of flavor. But too often, they turn into a food fiasco. You got uncle Rico burning the burgers, auntie Gloria stressing over sides, and before you know it, everybody’s hangry and side-eyeing each other like it’s a reality TV reunion.

Here's why professional catering is the smartest move you'll make this summer:

1. Less Stress, More Fiesta

Let’s be honest—planning a picnic can feel like a full-time job. You gotta worry about the location, the weather, and who's bringing what. With professional catering, all you have to do is show up hungry. No stress, no mess, and definitely no kitchen nightmares.

2. Food That Actually Tastes Good

Listen, we’ve all had picnic food that tastes like disappointment wrapped in foil. Catering means flavor-packed dishes prepared fresh by professionals who know what they're doing. Say goodbye to sad potato salad and hello to dishes so good, your family will actually say “thank you” instead of complaining (imagine that!).

3. Impress Without the Mess

You ever notice how everybody wants to take credit for the food when it’s good, but nobody wants the blame when it’s bad? With West Hill Deli catering, everyone will assume you’re a culinary genius, and you don’t even have to touch a spatula.


West Hill Deli’s Summer Picnic Menu: Auburn’s Finest Flavors

Alright, Auburn—let’s talk about the food. At West Hill Deli, we’re bringing dishes that hit harder than your tia’s chancleta when you're out of line. Here’s what’s on the menu:

Appetizers That Set the Mood

Kick things off right with snacks that make people happy:

  • Lumpia (Filipino Spring Rolls): Crispy, golden bites that'll disappear quicker than your nephew when it's time to clean up.

  • Garlic Shrimp Skewers: Grilled shrimp with garlic butter, because even picnics deserve a little luxury.

  • Mini Pancit Cups: Savory noodles served up neat and easy—these cups are a portable flavor bomb.

Main Courses That Steal the Show

Forget dry burgers and questionable hot dogs—let’s serve mains that make your guests say “Ay, qué rico!”

  • Adobo Fried Rice & Eggs: Garlicky fried rice topped with marinated meat and a perfect egg. This ain’t basic picnic food—this is deliciousness with style.

  • Crispy Pork Belly: Juicy pork belly with crispy skin, seasoned just right. Trust me, this dish is the diva of the picnic table.

  • Chicken Afritada: Tender chicken stewed in tomatoes and veggies—a comforting dish that'll have your family coming back for thirds.

  • Beef Caldereta: Rich, hearty stew slow-cooked with beef and vegetables. This is the kind of dish that silences all picnic drama.

Sides That Shine Brighter Than Your Cousin’s New Car

Because picnic sides shouldn’t be sad—they should be sensational:

  • Garlic Green Beans: Bright, flavorful, and actually enjoyable. No one’s pushing these to the side of the plate.

  • Ube Mashed Sweet Potatoes: Creamy, sweet, and purple—these potatoes are a conversation starter, no doubt.

  • Steamed Jasmine Rice: Perfectly fluffy rice to soak up all those incredible flavors. It’s not a picnic without it.
