"CIAO CHOW CATERING was the absolute hit of our
open house…with invitations going to 250 of the
Southwest’s leading advertising owners, managers
and creative teams …I knew I needed a sure thing
as far as the catering…and CIAO CHOW CATERING
came through and then some! The food was fabulous,
the service perfect and the presentation inventive
and creative! We can’t wait until our next event."
