THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME ALLIGATOR PEAR

“When I was in high school and my eyes started noticing the culinary world around me, a restaurant opened in New York called "The Quilted Giraffe," and I remember thinking, "cool name!"  Decades later, when it came time for me to come up with a name for my newly formed catering company, I wanted a quirky, unusual, cool name just like the one I had heard many years earlier. Yet, I also wanted a name that related to the food industry and something that expressed my sense of style. One night, after weeks of laboring over name choices, I decided to consult Merriam-Webster to see what jewels I could find in the dictionary.  Within seconds "alligator pear" jumped off the page and I knew that just had to be the name.  I learned that night that alligator pear is a nickname for an avocado! The rest is the culinary history of Alligator Pear Catering....” -Abi Chilton
