Zenbelly Pop Up Paleo Menu
Zenbelly: Paleo Pop-Up Dinner Party
Last Saturday night I attended a Paleo pop-up dinner party by Zenbelly organic catering which is owned my friend Simone Schifnadel. It was a great time for everyone involved. I had my own gang of friends but we saw other paleo peeps and made some new friends.
My Paleo Posse
The location was at Foodlab on market and 7th which is venue that can be rented out by different chefs to have impromptu dinner parties.
Organic salad with heirloom tomatoes and homemade balsamic dressing
The main course was a choice of grain free Paella or Ribeye steak from Fallon Hills Ranch . I got the steak that was cooked perfectly. My husband got the Paella which was a good size portion and very creative.
Grass Fed Ribeye with Chimichurri Sauce
Paleo Paella with Cauli-rice
Organic fries cooked in beef tallow with homemade mayo
Grain-free almond tart with coconut cream
I loved the tart made by The Goods gluten free bakery because it was dairy and grain free. Also the tart was not too sweet which was a nice, becasue I rarely eat sugar. There was also some great gluten free bread (and butter)that the others at the table loved.
It was so nice to eat somewhere that you don’t have to worry about gluten or rancid vegetable oils. Zenbelly is a great catering company that uses seasonal and local ingredients. The owner Simone Shifnadel is Paleo and gluten-free herself and puts some amazing recipes on her blog . It was great to know that the chef understood what we wanted. Thanks so much to Simone for putting this on. I am looking forward to the next one.
My best friend and I went Saturday night as well and it was FABULOUS! We are recent Paleo converts (been Paleo for 3 months now) and trying to eat out in Sonoma County is beyond difficult so it was a real treat to sneak away to The City for a night and have an excellent primal meal. Can’t wait for ZenBelly to do another one.
Oh my God! This sounds awesome! What a fabulous concept! The food looked amazing!
Really excited to hear about a Paleo catering company in the bay area!! Going to contact them to see if they can cater some events.
Wonderful! I have been looking for info like this , thanks for posting.
