Wedding season might be over, but you won\u2019t find the team at Ravishing Radish Catering<\/a> resting on their laurels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stay busy in the fall getting ready for holiday events, auctions and some weddings,\u201d says Lisbet Larsen Mielke<\/a>, founder of the down-to-earth catering company.<\/p>\n

Lisbet caught the entertaining bug early in life, growing up with parents who loved to throw a good backyard bash. After graduating from culinary school, she set her sights on opening a business that combined her favorite things: amazing food and legendary parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always worked in restaurants and kitchens and enjoyed it. I love troubleshooting on the fly and seeing everything come together.” And ultimately, she adds, she loves seeing people happy.<\/p>\n

She launched Ravishing Radish in 1993, the same year that we opened our first little bakery<\/a> in Belltown. In fact, Lisbet says, we were just down the street from her. She and her staff frequented our caf\u00e9 for breakfast and lunch, and it wasn\u2019t long before she tapped\u00a0Leslie Mackie<\/a>\u00a0to make\u00a0cakes for catered wedding receptions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe loved the food and bread at Macrina so much, we knew we wanted to use Macrina products on the menu,\u201d says Lisbet, who enlisted JoAnna Cruz, a former Macrina employee, as her “chef extraordinaire.”<\/p>\n

Our handmade breads\u00a0paired with mouthwatering delights like rosemary butter or sour cherry compote and goat cheese\u00a0weave\u00a0through Ravishing Radish\u2019s fall dinner menu. Sourcing ingredients from local businesses is a cornerstone of the company. Depending on the season, you\u2019ll find Carlton Farms<\/a> pork, Foraged & Found<\/a> mushrooms, fresh catches from Wild Salmon Seafood Market<\/a>, even choice edibles from the company\u2019s 2,000-square-foot rooftop garden.<\/p>\n

As if overseeing the fine details of lavish events weren\u2019t enough, Lisbet has since opened Ravish<\/a>, a bar and bistro that upholds the same steadfast commitment to community and sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
