3 Executive Chef J o s h u a C r a n e With 23 years in the industry, and 15 years as an executive chef, Josh Crane is the mastermind behind FCI s creative dishes and innovative hands-on catering model. Chef Crane began his culinary career at the age of 13 as a dishwasher, soon moving up through various kitchen and management positions for the next eight years. After graduating from culinary school in Portland, OR, he relocated to Southern California to accept the position of Executive Chef at Delicias Restaurant in Rancho Santa Fe. He made the leap into the world of catering and events with Coast Catering in 2006, a high-end social event company that was trend-setting in delivering restaurantquality food served off-premise in LA, San Diego, Orange County and the desert regions of Southern California. In 2010 he joined the Prom Management Group for the opportunity to travel worldwide and learn regional cuisines while executing events for PGA Golf Tournaments. In 2012 he relocated to NYC and soon joined FCI as Executive Chef. Throughout his years as a catering chef, Crane has learned to adapt to so many different styles and cuisines that he does not define his career by a certain style, but more a philosophy, of food. He is driven by a passion for techniques and history of food, and views cooking as an emotional connection of all five senses. FCI Catering & Events 03

9 Hands-On Experiences What sets FCI apart from other caterers is the interactive, hands-on capabilities we have for events. We are a perfect fit for both corporate and social team-building events. Market Basket Competition For this hands-on experience, guests will enjoy a fun and fast-paced culinary competition (similar to the show Chopped ). Each team will receive a basket filled with mystery ingredients. In 45 minutes, each team will need to create a signature dish that features the mystery ingredients, while also being allowed to use items from FCI s extensive pantry. Bourbon & Butchery During the tasting, guests will learn the history of bourbon, the process of distillation, and taste different types of batches. After, they are guided through a whole-animal butchery by one of our Master Butchers, who will walk the guests through a demonstration of breaking down a suckling pig. Guests will learn how to utilize the entire animal from nose to tail. FCI Catering & Events 09
