Swanky Lifestyle Company is providing Southwest Florida residents and businesses with celebrity treatment by importing the talents of one of New York’s top caterers, Andrea Correale to lead Mad Cuisine. Asmanaging partner of Mad Cuisine (formerly Mad Take Out), Correale will apply her experience cooking for celebrities such as the Trumps, Brooke Shields, Gweneth Paltrow and Hillary Clinton to creating gourmet prepared foods-to-go and upscale event catering for Mad Cuisine’s Southwest Florida clientele.

“Andrea’s energy and sophistication has made its mark on the New York social scene, and now her impeccable sense of style, exquisite culinary ingenuity and dazzling presentations are available to Mad Cuisine customers in Southwest Florida,” says Mel Starrantino, owner of Swanky Lifestyle. “Swanky Lifestyle is proud to welcome Andrea to our dynamic team and look forward to bringing her creativity and innovation into our culinary world.”

In addition to her position with Mad Cuisine, Correale owns and operates Elegant Affairs, a New York-based full-service catering and event design firm. Serving corporate and private clients in New York for the past 15 years, Correale’s company earned a reputation as one of the best caterers in Long Island, Manhattan and the Hamptons. She has served many celebrities known for their sophisticated palates and discerning taste, and her work has been featured extensively in high profile national media such as VH1’s The Fabulous Life, Martha Stuart Living Radio and Real Housewives of New York City.

Correale serves on the board of directors of the International Caterers Association and has been a guest speaker at the acclaimed Catersource symposium. She also shares her expertise and advice on celebrations.com, a subsidiary of 1-800-Flowers.com.

Under Andrea’s creative direction, the evolution of Mad Take Out to Mad Cuisine will involve a significant expansion of its current offering of take-out foods. Mad Cuisine will focus on high-end catering with full-service event planning, custom menus and prepared gourmet-to-go entrees for parties of every size and scale whether in the home, office or an outside venue. Mad Cuisine’s business catering includes an innovative healthy menu as a new option for the corporate crowd. For example, the catered salad bar buffet allows guests to select from a variety of greens, dairy, protein, toppings and dressings in the convenience of their office. Fresh grilled pita triangles and Mediterranean hummus are included. The gourmet catering menu offers a variety of options including passed hot hors d’oeuvres, stationary appetizer platters, protein salads, gourmet sandwiches, entrees, sides and more.

“With expanded menus and new catering services combined with Andrea’s sophistication and expertise, Mad Cuisine is raising the bar in Southwest Florida’s catering and social scene,” says Starrantino.

Swanky Lifestyle is the parent company to Bacchus, an upscale restaurant and wine bar located in the Bell Tower Shops; Mad Cuisine, an innovative gourmet take-out and upscale catering and event company located in South Fort Myers; and Krafty Kuisine, creator of Krafty Krab Rolls and To Chi sauce and a wholesale food manufacturer.
