Dana Carnazzo, came from a background of food and travel to found Grapes of Wrath, California Style Catering. She cooked on yachts in the Caribbean and South Pacific, upscale fishing lodges in remote Alaska and ships from Mexico to Southern Alaska. She returned to Monterey where she worked as catering manager for a prominent local company for five years before founding Grapes of Wrath in 1992. Her love of good food and service has allowed Grapes of Wrath to grow and prosper for 15 years. Her special area of expertise within the company is logistics. She can visualize your event from beginning to end with full understanding of the rentals and staffing necessary to produce a great event.

Tom Vitale , the Executive Chef at Grapes of Wrath has been Dana's mentor for over 20 years. She first worked with him when he owned the award winning Silver Jones Restaurant in Carmel. He's gone on to own The Abbott Street Grill and to run the banquet facilities of several of our areas finest hotels. Grapes of Wrath was lucky enough to lure him to catering in 1998. He is our rock!! Not only does he provide us with award winning cuisine, he guides us through weekends of multiple events with grace and humor.

Christian Mendelsohn, our Operations Manager brings a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from the University of New Hampshire and an attention to detail that keeps us all organized! He makes sure that everything gets to your event, that it works and that it is exactly what you ordered. He handles our IT needs and, besides all that, introduces us to all sorts of cool music!

Tamie began working with Grapes of Wrath eight years ago when Dana's and Tamie's sons were in first grade together. She took a break from the catering world to get her degree in Social Behavioral Sciences (that's why she gets along so well with brides!). We were able to lure her back as Sales & Office Manager and all around Queen of Fun. She makes sure that we hear what you say and that we communicate with you in a timely manner.

Most of our service staff has been working with Dana for at least five years. They understand our style of service and work as a team. They are all insured employees.
