Spring, Shamrocks & Shazam: Reasons to Celebrate in March
Temperatures are climbing. College basketball is heating up, and leprechauns are itching to stir up some mischief. It must be March! With plenty of reasons to celebrate, it is time for you to decide how you want to honor the third month of 2020. Z Catering, in Gilbert, AZ, proposes organizing a March Madness playoff get-together or a St. Patrick’s Day gathering to kickoff spring with a bang!
Theme Ideas:
If you are a college basketball fanatic, you will want to invite your fellow fans over to watch your favorite March Madness contenders. Consider decorating your home or venue with colors that represent your favorite school (or alma mater). Don’t forget to purchase mini foam basketballs and basketball hoops. These hoops can easily be placed over waste bins, so your guests can practice their alley oops and slam dunks during commercial breaks. Another idea is to setup a table with beer pong for guests to refine their 3 pointers.
If you are Irish (or you just like to party like you are), considering throwing a St. Patrick’s Day bash. A traditional staple for this type of shindig is green beer, so definitely pick up some green food coloring when you are purchasing your favorite brew. Decorate with shamrocks, horseshoes, pots of gold, and colors from the Irish flag: green, orange, and white. Maybe purchase some green colored pins, stickers, feather boas, hats, or sunglasses that guests can wear in order to avoid being pinched.
Party Fare:
In all honesty, food is THE epicenter of any event. Regardless of which aspect of March you are celebrating, Z Catering has your menu covered. Below are our most popular appetizer choices to compliment any festivity:
Slider Station (Choose 2 options for $12 per person or 3 options for $15 per person)
Sliders are the perfect size for party guests because they are easy to hold in one hand, while sipping on green beer with the other. With a Slider Station, guests have the freedom to personalize their idea of perfection on a bun. With our meat options, guests can choose from a variety of flavor profiles. We offer Pulled Pork (with arugula and fig butter), Lamb Cumin (with oregano and a Greek yogurt spread), Chianti Braised Beef (with provolone, red peppers, and arugula), BBQ Pork (with coleslaw), Pesto Chicken, or Meatball.
Buffalo Chicken Wing Bar ($10 per person)
Chicken wings have become a party must have! This is because they are totally customizable, effortless to eat, and really tasty. With our wing bar, you get to choose your sauce, level of heat, and dips. Our sauce options include traditional buffalo, BBQ sauce, and rosemary garlic. Of course, our wings come with an accompaniment of celery and carrot sticks.
Easy Drop-off Packages:
Z Catering’s drop-off packages make hosting simple and affordable.

With that said, these are our most requested items from our drop-off packages menu:
Mexico City Street Taco Bar* ($140)
Let’s face it, Arizonans love their Mexican food! Our taco bar will transport your taste buds from the valley of the sun to the capital of Mexico. For your meat choice, you can pick from either Carne Asada or Mojo Chicken. Soft corn tortillas are supplied as the base of the tacos. For trimmings, we furnish both salsa and sour cream. Traditional Mexican rice and refried beans make up the side dishes.
* Chef’s suggestion: add our Mexican Chips & Dip appetizer (for only $5 per person).
This includes corn tortilla chips, salsa, and guacamole.
The Executive Lunch ($130)
If you prefer something more traditional, rest assured that our Executive Lunch option isn’t just for the office. In fact, with this choice, you are sure to please your guests with a main dish, 2 sides, and a dessert. The star of this selection is an assortment of sandwiches, served on our homemade focaccia bread. The sides are made up of chips and a fresh fruit platter. To finish, the dessert provided is a cannoli platter.
