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!"

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....”
