ARAMARK Catering
“Thank you so much for a successful Southwest Showcase at the Austin Convention Center. The ARAMARK cateringstaff did an incredible job. The breakfast and luncheon food were absolutely delicious. We received many compliments from our attendees on the quality of the meals.”----Linda Rudwick, Southwest Showcase Show Management.
“Austin went well, and ARAMARK was wonderful. They certainly went the extra mile to make us feel welcomed and at home. The food was delicious and the presentations great.”----Cathy Olivieri, NAMM
It begins with a bold blend of culinary artistry and imagination, and results in a fresh approach to menu and event planning. From week-long conventions to gala fundraisers, exceptionally prepared delicacies leave each guest with a tasteful and unforgettable impression.

Dear Future Guest,
Welcome, and thank you, for choosing our facility for your upcoming event.
My name is Brad Kelly and I have been the Executive Chef at the Austin Convention Center Department since the Convention Center expansion in 2001.
I was born, raised and have lived my entire life in the Southwest, and am very proud of the unique culture that defines our region. Austin’s culture is down home, yet sophisticated, laid back, yet bustling with energy, traditional and eclectic.
I have developed the menu of the Austin Convention Center and Palmer Events Center to reflect these Southwest definitions. My New Mexican and Texas roots and the “Southwest Cuisine” that I have grown up with, is the passion behind my presentations. However, like the culture of Austin, our cuisine reaches beyond city limits and the borders of Texas and excels in the creation of customized menus.
I am confident your guests will be pleased whether you are joining us for a five-course banquet or a quaint coffee service. Our goal is to provide you and your guests with outstanding service and quality while introducing you to Austin.
Sincerely,
Brad Kelly
Executive Chef
