Our Story
Where It All Began
From humble beginnings at Corinne’s home in 1982, we’ve grown into one of the most respected off-premise caterers on Long Island and in New York. Our love of food and hospitality has taken our team on a journey that has touched the lives of thousands of customers and their guests. Making the important moments in your life exceptional through great food and impeccable service is what we’re all about.
Business leaders, celebrities, government officials, and our local area customers can share how our dedication and personalized service sets us apart, as we truly care about our customers.
Our Family goes back four generations in the restaurant and catering business. In the 1930’s, Paul Futerman started the family’s first delicatessen in Brooklyn, selling corned beef, pastrami, and pickles. His son, Stewart, later expanded the business to Queens and Long Island. Stewart grew up in the business and later had a vision to start a catering company with his wife Corinne. And thus Corinne’s Concepts in Catering began in their home more than 38 years ago.
Today, Corinne and Stewart’s two sons Jarid and Keith, who both hold degrees in Restaurant & Foodservice Management, help lead the company. A third son, Bryan, has been a professional chef for many years at top restaurants on Long Island, Manhattan, and in the Hamptons and is now a private chef. Corinne’s Concepts in Catering continues to grow with the addition of two businesses. Stewart’s Mobile Concepts, which operates a fleet of mobile kitchens, as well as providing customized remote catering services across the country. Corinne’s Gourmet Selections, which specializes in the manufacturing of wholesale foods sold in many fine gourmet shops including our famous line of gourmet dips, and our catalog of gourmet gift baskets shipped nationwide.
Stop by Corinne’s Concepts in Catering offices and commissary located in Huntington Station, NY and we’ll make you feel at home as we help plan your next special event.
