About Us
Welcome to Elite Air Catering North Carolina - the preeminent private jet catering option serving Raleigh, Durham, the Triangle, and other Carolina airport communities.
Gourmet Choices
Whether it is an organic fruit board, overflowing with the freshest and most exotic berries and melons, a sampling of Italian meats and international cheeses, beautifully presented caviar or farm fresh strawberries covered in decadent Ghirardelli dark chocolate – we seek to provide the gourmet choices that can be especially savored at 30,000 feet.
Culinary Rich Carolinas
If your clients’ tastes focus on salads for a healthier ride, or something heartier for a hop across the Atlantic, let us wow you with a range of options to fit any size trip or appetite.
Our menu always provides a staple of private jet traveler favorites. But should you want to explore the culinary riches of the Carolinas, then please ask about regional items like Gulf coast shrimp and grits, pulled pork, Brisket, or smoked turkey with Eastern Carolina (vinegar based) BBQ sauce. And don’t forget the signature sides like fried green tomatoes, succotash, hush puppies, and mac and cheese!
Specific Tastes
Interested in a little bit of this and a little bit if that? We recommend our popular charcuterie boards, fruit and cheese boards, and our dessert trays, overflowing with freshly made cookies and brownies. Or we can create an entire meal service to your specifications. We always serve with the top-notch, white glove service that goes hand-in-hand with private air travel.
Whatever you request, Elite Air Catering North Carolina will be deliciously ready for take-off.
Van Giles
Founder
Van had the unique good fortune to grow up surrounded by every type of food imaginable in New York City. He got his start in the culinary industry working after-school jobs at catering companies and fine dining establishments. He learned quickly to appreciate the world’s culinary delicacies, not just from finicky New Yorkers. His overseas travels included tasting the freshest fish imaginable (it was still moving!) while living in Japan, and becoming a connoisseur of Bangkok street carts, while residing in Thailand.
His passion for planning and creating delicious meals is matched only by his desire to exceed the expectations of his clients. Van embraces the mantra, “Life is too short to eat mediocre food – especially while traveling by private jet.” Bon appetite!
