Last month we wrapped another series of television commercials for Katy’s Kreek Reestaurant. I first met Ari Georgsson several years ago when he opened Katy’s Kreek in Walnut Creek. He owned and operated Katy’s Korner in San Ramon for over a decade and it became one of the most successful restaurants in the East Bay Area of San Francisco. The lines for Sunday brunch extended out the door and down the sidewalk. Born in Iceland and a Master Chef for over 25 years, Ari opened his sister restaurant in downtown WC to give the locals a taste of what they were missing. People love his incredible omelets and over a dozen styles of eggs benedict but they didn’t know he created a dinner fare that would rival the finest sea food and steak house around!
Shot in HD around happy customers, friends from Iceland and his staff, the crew had a culinary blast! I’ve shot table top food presentations for more than 10 years…from Pizza Hut to Steaks to Sushi and it’s always a challenge to make it look appetizing but also looking fresh and real. The best part is that they can’t ‘re-use’ the entrees so the crew usually had a spoon or fork in their pants pocket ready to enjoy! Alway fun.
