The annual Rock 'n' Roll Marathon took place in San Diego on May 21, 2009. Featuring hundreds of runners and a full 26.6 mile marathon, it is always an outstanding success with Eco Caters being one of the major sponsors. The VIP dinner took place in the San Diego Hall of Champions and featured an exquisite organic catered menu including tray passed hors de oeuvres, three different food stations with an assortment of beef, fish & vegetarian main dishes, dessert and fresh coffee. The hor de oeurvres consisted of fresh cucumber cups with mango, chili, preserve lemon and chive, spicy apricot chicken skewers with marjoram red pepper yogurt and a delicate
seared ahi with orange and grapefruit slaw. The first station had a rustic italian braised beef brisket with a fresh spinach salad featuring an apple cider vinaigrette and green beans. The second stations featured a pan seared pacific fish with crispy capers, lemon cous cous and broccolini. The vegetarian station consisted of a grilled vegetable polenta lasagna with house made ricotta and mixed greens. The night ended with a delicious dessert of apple cobbler with freshly made whipped cream and hot, organic, fair trade coffee and tea.
