Not All Veal Parmesan Is the Same
Factory food caterers serve pre-breaded, frozen veal cutlets with sauce from a jar and call it “authentic Italian.” The breading is soggy, the veal is tough, and the sauce tastes like it came from a can — because it did. When you’re ordering veal parmesan, you’re paying premium prices. You should get premium quality.
| Factor | Factory Food Caterers | Frato’s Personal Chef |
|---|---|---|
| Veal Quality | Pre-formed, processed cutlets | ✓ Premium select veal cutlets |
| Breading | Pre-breaded frozen, reheated | ✓ Hand-breaded panko parmesan |
| Marinara Sauce | From a jar or bag | ✓ Scratch-made daily in our kitchen |
| Delivery | Dropped off by driver | ✓ Personal chef delivers & sets up |
| On-Time Guarantee | None | ✓ 15 minutes late = FREE |
| When You Call | Call center or voicemail | ✓ Talk directly to our chefs |
| Portion Guarantee | Run out? Too bad | ✓ 10% extra food included |
| The Reality | Premium prices, frozen quality | ✓ Real chefs, real Italian, 39 years |
Your guests deserve better than reheated factory food. When the breading is actually crispy, when the veal is actually tender, when the marinara tastes like someone’s grandmother made it — they notice. Classic Italian done right makes all the difference.
