Railtown Catering Launches Picnic-Perfect Mother’s Day Brunch To-Go

The GOODS from Railtown Cafe

Vancouver, BC | Railtown Catering, the local company known for its genuinely Vancouver approach to cuisine, readies to offer a Mother’s Day Brunch Picnic that’s sure to impress. Chef Dan Olson’s offering perfectly balances refinement with rustic charm making it perfect for an outdoor occasion. With no heating or cooking required, the package makes the celebration truly effortless. The set is available for pickup or delivery through the Lower Mainland.

The picnic-inspired package comes ready to eat and features an assortment of seasonal dishes. Moms will be thrilled to unwrap various artfully produced Fancy Tea Sandwiches with ingredient combinations such as the sweet and salty pairing of prosciutto, Regganio and mango, among others; there’s also the decadently creamy pesto hummus with garbanzo beans and poached quails egg. Other highlights include: Chilled Green Gazpacho with Blackened Shrimp, a refreshing soup of heirloom tomatoes and cucumber with mild heat from jalapeño balanced perfectly with creamy burrata; and House Smoked Salmon, complete with all the accompaniments. For dessert, an Upside Down Cake with Blackberries & Lemon Cream will be included; this super moist cake is fragrant with citrus and provides a sweet and tart profile that’s sensationally spring.
