Kirk Basnight, owner of the Hamptons eateries, has expanded the restaurant’s offerings with the launch of red catering. The veteran restaurateur has been part of the East End culinary scene for over 20 years and the expansion into catering was a no-brainer.

“For years people have been asking us to cater everything from small dinner parties to large events, it was finally time to give them what they want,” explained Basnight.

red|bar brasserie’s executive chef Todd Jacobs will curate red catering’s menu as well as helm its execution. Jacobs is a recent addition to the red family, but has been a fixture on the local restaurant scene for years, offering his signature farm-to-table fare to diners for over 25 years. Marianne Farrell will serve as catering coordinator. She brings 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry. Longtime red general manager, Dawn Barney, will also bring her expertise to the team.

Clients will be able to choose from signature red|bar items and also distinctive options that are cohesive with the atmosphere of the occasion, whether it’s a smaller dinner party, casual poolside party, or extravagant wedding.
