Chef-Led Menus, Prepared Fresh On-Site, for Occasions to Remember.
Every dish is prepared on-site, at your event, by Founder and Executive Chef Philip Dorwart and his team. A fixture in the Twin Cities fine dining scene for over three decades, Philip brings restaurant-level technique to every plate, whether the kitchen is his or the room you've gathered in.
Every detail considered before you think to ask. Every gathering treated as if it matters, because it does. That's the standard Create has practiced in Minneapolis since 2006, wherever we're cooking.

Two ways to Gather
We bring the kitchen to your venue, or welcome you into ours. The standard is the same in both.
We come to you
Create Culinary
WE COME TO YOU. Our team arrives, builds a working kitchen on-site, and prepares everything fresh at your location. Fine-dining technique and high-touch service, wherever you gather.

Create Atelier
YOU COME TO US: A private space in Northeast Minneapolis with a permanent open kitchen. Chef-driven menus composed around your evening, executed with quiet confidence.
Visit the AtelierMore restaurant than caterer.
More partner than vendor.
We bring the kitchen to you.
Most caterers cook somewhere else and arrive with the food. We build a working kitchen at your venue and cook everything from scratch, the night of your event, for your guests. That's the food side.
The other side is harder to name but easier to feel. A team that's been briefed on every detail before they arrive. Service that anticipates what's needed before anyone asks. A host who gets to be present instead of managing. That's what we mean by hospitality.
Both come with every event. Neither is optional.
How We WorkDecades of experience. Thousands of events. One standard.
We ruined wedding food for ourselves and all our guests in the future — everything will be compared to this.
