Who Knew McLaren Catered?
McLaren Sells Catering Division
McLaren, yes that McLaren, has a catering division. Or rather it had a catering division, as it announced just this morning that it sold it.
Absolute Taste, as the catering division was known, was sold to a company called One Event Management, which appears to consist of a catering division of its own, a pub, and a helicopter business
In case you’re actually wondering why the hell McLaren had a catering division, apparently almost 20 years ago McLaren realized they had a bunch of employees and no internal catering division to feed them, according to the Absolute Taste web site:
“Awwwwwwww MAN! I’m sad, their food rocks,” one McLaren source who requested deep anonymity told us.

In case you’re actually wondering why the hell McLaren had a catering division, apparently almost 20 years ago McLaren realized they had a bunch of employees and no internal catering division to feed them, according to the Absolute Taste web site:
Back in 1997 Lyndy Redding and Ron Dennis formed Absolute Taste in order to provide hospitality to the McLaren F1 team.
Nearly 20 years on, the Absolute Taste team still travel the world providing fresh food and VIP hospitality to the McLaren Honda Formula 1 Team, its partners and guests throughout the grand prix season.
We are also contracted to supply the exclusive catering for the employees of McLaren Technology Group LTD at their head office in Woking, including all corporate hospitality and events for clients, sponsors and business partners. We feed up to 2,500 staff per day in the restaurant on site which is open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.We actually spoke to some of our McLaren sources to find out the impact this would have on the business, and they sounded truly devastated.

I Prefer These BBQ Style Sauces
Regional Barbecue Sauce Styles, Explained
From Carolina Gold to Alabama white, the country's principle sauce styles
Texas-Style Mop or Basting Sauce

Texas-Style Mop or Basting Sauce
- Seeing as Texas likes to be different, it seems only appropriate that it developed its own saucy barbecue tradition. Texas's beefy barbecue cuts are often cooked with savory "mop sauce" or "basting sauce" — so called because it's applied with a mop. Steven Raichlen, author of The Barbecue Bible, describes the sauces as more of a thin "glaze" that moistens the meat and adds flavor as it smokes. Mop sauces may include beef stock, vinegar, Worcestershire, and spices like salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Kansas City, Missouri's thick, sweet, and tangy sauces dominate the collective consciousness when it comes to American barbecue traditions. Widely distributed on supermarket shelves, slathered on ribs at chain restaurants, and used to dip McNuggets and fries at McDonald's, it's the thick and gloppy baseline that unites a nation of barbecue novices. Ketchup and molasses give it a sweeter, heavier consistency while additives like liquid smoke impart a barbecue flavor in lieu of coals, fire, or a smoker. Worcestershire, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and other spice may also find their way into the recipe. Despite the style's critics, the barbecue restaurants of Kansas City often defy this reputation by creating a remarkable variety of house sauces with profiles from peppery and spicy to extra vinegary.
