You may have been looking for Chef Miguel on PIX11 You may have been looking for Chef Miguel on PIX11 last week…but sometimes live TV has other plans! 

So we decided to bring the story to you instead.

✨ Welcome to Meet your Chefs; a new series where we introduce you to the people, memories, and moments behind the kitchen that make us who we are!

Our newest fall dish, Cod con Coco, started with a conversation.

As Chef Miguel shared memories of his mother’s Pescado con Coco…the sauce, the aromas, the flavors that defined his childhood…Chef Austin listened.

Then he went to work.

When Miguel walked back into the kitchen, the smell alone stopped him in his tracks. For a moment, he wasn’t in our test kitchen anymore, he was back in his mother’s home.

According to Miguel, Austin had somehow recreated not just the recipe, but the feeling.

That’s how our menus are built.

Not from trend reports or ingredient lists alone, but from memories, cultures, traditions, and the people who make this company what it is.

Because we’re not just serving dinner.

We’re serving stories.
Spring may have been nonstop… but there’s no slowi Spring may have been nonstop… but there’s no slowing down over here ✨

The minute the last spring celebrations wrapped, it was right back into the studio as we photographed and perfected our Fall & Winter 2026–2027 menus…and trust us, you’re going to want to see what’s coming.

From recipe testing and final plating to styling every last detail, this is where months of creativity come to life before it ever reaches your table. These behind-the-scenes moments are some of our favorites.

A special thank you to Something Different Party Rental for helping us showcase our newest menus with their incredible tabletop collections. Every plate, glass, and finishing touch helped tell the story.

This season is filled with bold flavors, elevated presentations, fresh inspiration, and unforgettable experiences…and we’re just getting started.

Here’s a little peek behind the curtain. 🎥

Stay tuned… Fall & Winter 2026–2027 is going to be something special!
Some chefs follow recipes…Chef Miguel Trinidad wri Some chefs follow recipes…Chef Miguel Trinidad writes the next chapter! 

We’re beyond excited to officially welcome Miguel Trinidad as Executive Sous Chef at Thomas Preti Events to Savor.

If you’ve spent any time following New York’s culinary scene, chances are you’ve already heard his name.

From opening celebrated restaurants like Maharlika, Jeepney, BoilerMaker, Two Bridges, Mace, and Harlem Juicery, to authoring I Am A Filipino (named one of the year’s best cookbooks by The New York Times) to pioneering the world of cannabis culinary arts with his acclaimed fine dining experience, 99th Floor, Miguel has never been afraid to push culinary boundaries.

But what has impressed us most isn’t what’s on paper.

It’s his quiet confidence. His precision. His ability to remain completely unflappable under pressure. His leadership. His respect for our incredible veteran culinary team. And yes…the fact that he somehow makes running a kitchen look effortless.

In just a short time, Miguel has already become an indispensable part of our family, and we cannot wait to see where his vision, creativity, and passion take us next.

✨ And tomorrow you can catch Chef Miguel LIVE on PIX11!

He’s featured in two segments:
🥕 Feeding a family of four for under $15 with smart, sustainable cooking ideas.
🍑 Grilling summer fruits while talking about the incredible bounty we’re cooking with all summer in the Hamptons! 

Trust us…you’ll want to tune in! 

Please join us in giving Chef Miguel Trinidad a warm Thomas Preti welcome. We have a feeling the future is going to taste pretty incredible ✨
Stars, stripes, sunshine, and the people who make Stars, stripes, sunshine, and the people who make the magic happen. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, we’re celebrating the incredible people behind nearly four decades of unforgettable events.

We kicked off our annual Summer Party the only way we know how, with our legendary 39-year softball rivalry between Front of House and Back of House. Fierce competition, and bragging rights (until next year 😉)

After the game, we headed to The Foundry for a well-deserved afternoon to relax, reconnect, and celebrate an amazing spring season. A huge thank you to The Foundry for hosting us, to our Jerry Garcia cover band for keeping the energy high, and to Broadway Party Rentals for creating such a beautiful atmosphere.

The Kids Zone was a hit with face painting, balloon twisting, magic, games, crafts, and plenty of smiles, while the adults enjoyed great food, music, and time together before ending the night with a wildly competitive game of musical chairs that turned into an unforgettable dance party.

The highlight of the day was introducing a brand-new tradition…✨ The TOMMYS. ✨

Inspired by Broadway’s biggest award shows, the TOMMYS recognize our extraordinary cater waitstaff (many of whom are actors, singers, dancers, and performers off the clock) for the passion, professionalism, heart, and hospitality they bring to every event. It was a special way to celebrate the stars who make the magic happen behind the scenes.

To every chef, bartender, server, captain, event manager, sales, production, warehouse, office, and support team member: thank you. Your dedication and talent are what make Thomas Preti so special.

Here’s to 39 years of traditions, new ones just beginning, and the people who make every day worth celebrating.

Happy Fourth of July, and happy 250th birthday, America! 🇺🇸🎆
The Dog Days of Summer are the perfect time to sta The Dog Days of Summer are the perfect time to start planning for the busiest season ahead.

As teams return from vacations and calendars begin filling with leadership meetings, sales kickoffs, client summits, product launches, and end-of-year celebrations, the most successful corporate events are already in motion.

Today’s meetings aren’t powered by stale coffee and boxed lunches. They’re fueled by experiences.

Think:
☕ Barista-crafted coffee bars
🥨 Fully stocked micro-market pantries built right inside your meeting space
🥗 Fresh grab-and-go breakfasts and lunches
🍕 Mobile flatbread ovens and interactive snack stations
💧 Branded hydration walls and beverage activations
🌎 International snack markets that keep guests energized all day long

Fast food? Not these days.

Today’s corporate hospitality is designed to keep attendees moving, networking, collaborating, and inspired from the first coffee to the final breakout session.

Fall calendars are filling quickly. If you’re planning a corporate meeting, conference, activation, or multi-day program, now is the time to start the conversation!
Happier hours are here again! Frozen cocktails, Happier hours are here again! 

Frozen cocktails, garden-inspired spritzes, rosé on repeat, mocktails are the new shots and we have enough citrus to make summer feel endless. Whether it’s a rooftop cocktail hour, a backyard dinner party, or 500 of your closest friends under a sailcloth tent, we’re pouring the season exactly as intended.

Because every great event starts with a drink and at least one guest saying, “Wait, what is this? I need another one”
