Amanda Smith Caterers is a full-service catering and event planning company established in New York in 2002 that expanded to Connecticut in 2011. "Expanding to Connecticut was a dream and our charming new location on the Post Road is just perfect," says Amanda Pilar Smith, owner. "We love the town, the community, and the easy access from the I–95," she says, referring to the space she just acquired off exit 11. 

Servicing both corporate and private clientele, Amanda Smith Caterers provides individualized attention to every client. From intimate dinners at home, to corporate luncheons, and weddings for 500, Amanda is always involved "When thinking about our menus, we pay careful attention to our clients wishes, the seasons, and what is fresh. We have established a great relationship with an organic farm in Fairfield run by the Grant family where we source much of our produce", she adds. 

En Route by Amanda Smith Caterers is a farm–to–table take home dinner service offering freshly prepared meals for those who do not have time to cook. "Many of our clients commented that they wished they could eat our fresh food every day. Now they can." says Amanda of this new service. En Route offers healthy, every day options that are cooked fresh every morning with locally sourced products and packed in oven- ready, recyclable containers ready for customers to pick up en route home, to school or other activities. 

En Route provides the flexibility to order daily or place advance orders for the week on their website or phone. "You tell us when you want to pick your dinner up and we will have it ready for you to pop in and out." says Amanda "No parking, standing on line, or waiting for your food to be packed, it will be ready for you." Each week, menus will be posted with selections such as Lemon Chicken or Roast Pork Loin with Sautéed Kale, Baked Cauliflower or Mashed Potatoes, as well as weekly soups, salads and specials like Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Pot Pie, and Spicy Chicken Enchiladas. All packed in oven–ready, recyclable containers with heating instructions. 

The store will also stock products made by local artisans such as Flow handmade towels in Old Greenwich; organic chili jelly, preserves and heirloom sauces from Ho Hum Hollow Farm in Bethel; fresh produce from the Grant farm in Fairfield; and six signature Tea Blossom teas in addition to Amanda Smith Caterers treats.
