Premier Food Services is a food service management company headquartered at 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Del Mar, CA 92014, directly adjacent to the Del Mar Fairgrounds & Racetrack. Founded in 1985 by George E. Karetas, the company built its reputation as the exclusive caterer and food-and-beverage provider for the Del Mar Fairgrounds, one of the most attended thoroughbred racing venues in the country. Its client roster expanded to include the Ida and Cecil Green Faculty Club at UC San Diego, corporate dining facilities for aerospace and technology firms, and food service contracts with educational institutions across the San Diego region. Premier also operated Carriage Trade Catering, a specialty division that serviced cultural institutions such as the La Jolla Playhouse, San Diego Opera, San Diego Repertory Theatre, and the San Diego Symphony. In 2014, global facilities management company SMG acquired Premier to strengthen its in-house food division, SAVOR. The Jimmy Durante Blvd location places Premier within walking distance of the fairgrounds' event spaces, where it continues to support the San Diego County Fair and racing season operations. Viewpoint Brewing Company, also located along the Jimmy Durante corridor, offers craft beer fans a taproom experience nearby. Hours at the Jimmy Durante office run Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the company accepts credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments. Delivery and takeout services are available for event and corporate clients. Flower Child at nearby Flower Hill Promenade provides another catering-capable dining option for Del Mar event planners seeking healthy, customizable menus.
