Thank you Julie and the wonderful women of Tall Order, for a super fun corporate event! Our stores are abuzz this morning with laughs recalled!! Part of what made the event was that it was private, our team relaxed and really had a silly time together.
Thank you again. We all enjoyed ourselves and as cliche as it sounds...we bonded. Which was our primary objective!! So, thank you for that!

The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) had the pleasure of working with Julie Burke of Tall Order in developing a catering plan for the Australian Olympic Winter Team’s proposed Subsite accommodation to be in operation during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
The planning phase of this project spanned the best part of 12 months and throughout this process Julie demonstrated the utmost professionalism in all aspects of her work and communication.
Julie’s experience, coupled with her attention to detail enabled her to bring to the catering project a foresight and thoroughness the AOC could not have done without. She was meticulous in her planning, transparent in the provision of information and production of documentation. Further, her loyalty and dedication demonstrated throughout the project was an inspiration.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Julie Burke and Tall Order to any organization requiring a catering service of exceptional quality. Whether the project demands complex planning, flexible delivery in an unpredictable environment, or the management of delicate issues and people, I believe Julie Burke is a person of the highest integrity and together with her team at Tall Order would rise to any catering or event-based challenge assigned to them.
Yours sincerely
~Fiona de Jong, Director of Sport 2010, Australian Olympic Committee (AOC)

The night was a huge success for the team! Not only was it an absolute blast, it really allowed the team to get to know one another. The setting was casual and fluid – so that people could work within their stations but also meander around and mingle with other cooking teams. Great way to kick-off the cook-off with the first order of business being the chef hat ritual….it really got the group laughing and talking. The team building opportunity was great – not only did our small cooking teams have to work together to prepare our portion of the meal, we had to communicate across all of the teams to coordinate overall meal timing. The meal was absolutely fantastic by the way! Great recipes and a great setting!
Thumbs up!

When searching for appropriate sessions for our attendees, we were looking for a unique activity that was fun while consistent with our conference theme of "work and life balance". Tall Order was able to fulfill our criteria by producing a high-energy, memorable session that fostered team-building and positive team spirit, entitled "Kitchen Fitness”.

Thank you for the fantastic "Chef Jeopardy" program that you Tall Order planned and executed for TI in Nice, France. I thought the program was carried out flawlessly. Your attention to detail and your ability to plan thoroughly and carried out in another continent and another language was remarkable. There were many lessons learned about how a team functions and I know this will become a metaphor for us for years to come.
