While working toward a degree at The Culinary Institute of America in 2004, what started as a side job for Zack Sklar and his peers has evolved into what we know today as Cutting Edge Cuisine. This premier catering company started in a compact New York apartment with 40 square feet of kitchen space. Working side-by-side with Owner/Chef Sklar were his associates Jackie Packar, Jean-Paul Sabatier and Justin Kurtz. While attending school, they catered small, elegant dinner parties to the Hudson Valley's most discerning gourmands. As word spread about these young, creative culinary artists, so did their business, and within months they were contracted to coordinate cocktail parties for over 250 guests. After graduating from the CIA, a visit home to Oakland County Michigan was all it took for Sklar to realize it was time to give the Michigan Market a run for its money.
Moving the small company's headquarters to Michigan, Owner/Chef Sklar together with Pastry Chef Justin Kurtz offers eclectic, innovative cuisine that is like nothing the Michigan Market has yet seen. The name of the company encompasses everything for which this team strives; "We create dishes that not only excite our guests but also their palettes", says Sklar. Previous events have featured fabulous, savory delicacies such as Cumin Dusted Foie Gras Tacos and Sweet Potato and Maple Doughnuts stuffed with Duck Confit. More importantly, as appetizing and unique as their cuisine is, the duo's aesthetic style and one-of-a-kind presentations guarantee an exciting, memorable dining experience for their customers. Cutting Edge Cuisine has become renowned for offering its patrons not just a meal, but "A Culinary Experience."
