In addition to TV appearances, Evan has been recognized nationally. Last year, Evan's Kitchen and Catering won the 2010 Planners' Choice Award presented by Portland, Maine-based Eventective, the Web's largest database of special-event venues and service providers in the United States and Canada. Award winners were chosen on various criteria, including the number of times a caterer's Eventective listing was viewed. Evan's Kitchen was among three California establishments to crack the top 20.
