Yesterday the Red Sky Cafe hosted a wedding tasting for Jen & John, the "reality Bride & Groom". They're recording every step of their wedding planning for an online documentary, and they chose the Red Sky to cater for their wedding. To accommodate everybody's request, Chef Wes prepared a huge tasting platter - as you can see on the video, the bride and groom did not expect such an abundant tasting. According to Chef Wes Stepp, tastings usually have an average of 7-8 dishes, and he doesnt skim on the servings. His wife Cindy says that many times the couple is so busy during ...

Every wedding that we cater receives at least two unique fresh fruit sculptures carved by our on-staff artist. [caption id="attachment_93" align="alignright" width="180" caption="Honeydew Flower"][/caption] On the video above, you'll see 3 carved watermelons surrounded by a banquet of fresh fruit suited for a royal beach luau. The first carving is a swan, and the artist used both the skin, and the flesh to create the perception ...
On the first of a new series of videos, Chef Wes prepares a beautiful Rockfish (striped sea bass) on a Sundried Tomato Pesto Marinade with fresh Lump Crab Meat. To top it off, a generous portion of herbed goat cheese melts on top of the flavorful seafood. We're in the middle of service at the Red Sky Cafe, and Chef Wes Stepp goes over how simple and easy it is to incorporate a delicious seafood dish into your Thanksgiving dinner - or any traditional Holiday meal. The dish came out absolutely delicious - the herbed goat cheese and the pine nuts added ...
After the huge success of our first outer banks wedding catering video, we got lots of requests to post more videos, and give more detailed tips on what it really takes to run a successful obx wedding. This time, I caught up with Chef Wes and his wife Cindy at the Comfort Inn hotel in South Nags Head - they were catering for 150 guests of this really fun local couple. Here's an insider secret: events at the Comfort Inn are usually ran by their in-house catering staff, but the bride and groom requested that Red Sky catered for them. And of course, ...
[caption id="attachment_12" align="alignleft" width="249" caption="Red Sky Cafe in Duck, NC"][/caption] Temperatures have finally hit a consistent low here in the Outer Banks - that usually means it's Fall. Not only that, but it means it's time for big flavor bombs, with enough body to sustain and warm our bodies. It's time for your food to go beyond nutrition and replenish your warmth. That's what the theme for the new Fall 09 Red Sky Cafe dinner menu is all about. Yesterday you saw chef wes cooking Rockfish, a staple of Outer Banks seafood, with a nice herbed goat cheese melt as the sauce for ...
if you cant load the video above, click here Somebody mentioned they couldnt see the food very well in the nags head wedding video, so I put together this mouthwatering video - it's got amazing details on the food, and it's just hard not to eat my monitor. I tried to identify exactly what the camera was showing, but some of the captions came out wrong. Hopefully the great Red Sky cuisine will redeem my mistake ;) We've been getting a lot of requests for our obx wedding menus - and people want to know more about what Chef Wes suggests for an ...
This Saturday, I had the honor of accompanying The Red Sky Cafe catering team to a beautiful wedding in the Whalehead Club in Corolla (NC). Of course, I took my camera with me and took some amazing footage - be sure to have a napkin around before watching it ;) I'm not a professional video guy at all, but I know great food - and that's what I focused on. Notice how even with my amateur video skills, all of the food looks fresh and exciting - there's no trick there. Everything is prepared and presented in a way that prevents it ...
Watch as Chef Wes Stepp introduces us to the scrumptious Thanksgiving feast at the Red Sky Cafe. Thanksgiving at Red Sky has been a tradition for years, and the restaurant usually has full capacity taken by Noon, but I was able to get there early and have Wes walk us through his entire set up. The abundance of treats made it REALLY hard to decide what to eat and when to eat it ;) Props to the house-smoked salmon w/ dill cream - the salmon was melting on my mouth, had a rich smokiness to it, which the dill cream totally complemented. Also, ...
[caption id="attachment_72" align="alignleft" width="320" caption="Ever Had A Dish Like This Come Out Of Your Kitchen?"][/caption] We all love going out to a nice restaurant, enjoying a relaxed dinner, having somebody serve, cook, and clean for you, and not worrying about burning the rice, or overcooking the fish... And if you're going to have a dinner party, good luck conciliating the cooking and the party; it only looks easy on the Food Network. But what if you could have all the restaurant pampering in the comfort of your own home (or Rental), without stepping foot in the kitchen? Why Hire A Personal Chef? 1. They can ...
