"Over the last 10 years, Centerplate has consistently received high customer reviews and continues to improve its services. Working together in the years ahead, we are dedicated to providing a more seamless experience for our guests."

Led by Executive Chef Michael Hagerty, who began working in the kitchen of the Sacramento Convention Center more than 35 years ago, the food service program for the complex will continue to feature innovative California cuisine and locally grown ingredients for business events, social gatherings, receptions and more in a newly designed dynamic event district. Voted Best Caterer by Sacramento Magazine 14 consecutive times, Classique Catering will invest in ensuring its services will continue to embody the very best that the city, the foremost farm-to-fork capital, has to offer.

"This long-term extension is a testament to the talented members of our professional culinary and service staff, and we are excited to continue redefining the guest experience at the Sacramento Convention Center Complex," said Vickie Housholder, General Manager, Classique Catering. "We will continue to source locally to support the community and delight our guest who visit us here in Sacramento."
