Chef Wes made a return appearance on captain Herb’s Weekend Fisherman and once again presented a mouthwatering meal.  Using only fresh Currituck vegetables, Chef Wes seared butterflied Waho steak and served it on Summer Steak tomatoes.  A delicious cucumber crème fresh provided a tantalizing highlight for this perfect Outer Banks summertime meal.

Catering with Chef Wes in Carova Off Road Country!

Written by RedSkyCafe on June 26th, 2010

This day started as a trip to three different weddings! The original plan was to leave at 3 o’clock, hit the Mark Twain in Carova, then the Whalehead Club, and wrap it up at the Saltaire in Duck by 8 o’clock. However, nothing is ever that easy in the world of catering! Chef Wes Stepp of the Red Sky Cafe proved why he is the number one wedding caterer on the  Outer Banks as he averts near disaster and shows why an experienced caterer is best.

The trip up to Carova went without a hitch, as Chef Wes’ 4×4 glided effortlessly across the sand. Once we arrived at the Mark Twain, a monstrous house in Carova that is a popular spot for weddings, we found the Red Sky staff in full swing unloading trucks and setting up shop. Chef Wes had his young protege  Graham (the one on the grill in the video) in charge, and everything was proceeding according to plan.

However, the best laid plans of mice and men… As Chef Wes was starting to cook the pasta, he quickly noticed the ovens were not heating at all. He would be able to cook the meat on top of the stove, by ingeniously converting two pans into an impromptu dutch oven, but what about the pasta? Thankfully, with an experienced eye, he spotted three outdoor gas grills sitting unused on the porch.

While only two had tanks of propane, that was more than enough to cook the pasta the way Chef Wes wanted. Who’s ever heard of making pasta on a grill? It’s this kind of ingenuity that makes Chef Wes the premiere caterer around. After the fiasco with the ovens, Chef Wes stayed to make sure everything else went off without a hitch. He even managed to feed everyone when there ended up being a number of unexpected guests.

We eventually made it to the other catering events, but they had already pretty much finished by then. That’s why Chef Wes only has dependable, highly skilled fellow chef’s working for him; to ensure that no matter what, the job gets done professionally and everyone’s happy at the end of the night. We finally returned to the Red Sky Cafe at 10, worn and weary, but satisfied that Chef Wes’ extensive streak of perfectly catered events would remain unbroken yet again.

Three Reasons the Red Sky is the Best on the Outer Banks!

Written by RedSkyCafe on June 20th, 2010

You would think hiring an Outer Banks wedding caterer would be easy. Find a place that cooks good food, then hire them to cook for you. What could be simpler? Unfortunately, hiring a caterer is going to be a little more involved. You need to discuss menu’s and plan everything, and etc., etc. And while you already know Chef Wes Stepp and the Red Sky Café are going to be a hit with your guests, here are few of the reasons why.

The Tasting- Chef Wes provides a tasting for every potential client, comprised of all the types of food he considers their specialty. And the best part about the tasting is it’s free for the bride to be!

Experience- We discussed the importance of hiring an experienced wedding caterer, but it never hurts to reiterate a valid point. Things can go wrong when you are away from familiar ground, and it’s important to have someone reliable who can handle any problems that may occur. Chef Wes has been in the restaurant business since he was thirteen. At this point, there isn’t much he hasn’t seen.

The Staff- If you’ve been to the restaurant, you know the Red Sky Café staff are some of the friendliest and helpful people you could have serving you food. And these traits apply equally to the catering staff as well. During your event, the servers all wear matching uniforms, and provide a professional service that’s hard to beat.

We could go on about the quality of ingredients, fresh seafood, beautiful food presentation and all of the other details that make Chef Wes and the Red Sky Café the number one party caterer on the Outer Banks, but sometimes, you just need to experience it for yourself. So stop by the Red Sky Café, and taste the difference.
