MELVILLE, NY - According to the general manager and chef of Morrell Caterers on Long Island, people paid a premium for Kosher foods at over 200 weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and other events, but everything was tainted.
Those same tables, those same pots and pans, those same platters and utensils that were used for Kosher foods were also used to prepare the non-Kosher events as well,” said general manager Tom Cataldo.
Cataldo, who has been general manager since 1997, and chef Micheal Savitsky are suing the owner of the catering company, Scott Morrell.
They say it has been going on for a year and a half and want to force Morrell to stop tainting the food.
Cataldo says he was getting sick inside.
Cataldo told WCBS 880 reporter Sophia Hall the owner was trying to cut corners by not having a separate kitchen for Kosher and non-Kosher foods.
We would have our Kosher foods stored and next to it a bucket of shrimp,” said Cataldo.
Cataldo also claims Morrell poured cheaper alcohol into empty high-end liquor bottles and sold them at premium prices.
The attorney for Scott Morrell called the claims fiction.
Morrell Caterers operates at Temple Beth Torah in Melville, Temple Israel in Lawrence, and the Woodbury Jewish Center in Woodbury.

ReplyDeleteTom is the most vile, nastiest, most horrible person I ever met. I would never ever trust him
ReplyDeleteI had my affair with Morrell Caterers because of Tom Cataldo. My first meeting was with Scott Morrell and I found him to be a pompous ass. It was after speaking with Tom Cataldo that I wanted my affair done by Morrell Caterers. I found Tom Cataldo to be charming and hard-working. I believe Michael Savitsky and Tom Cataldo acted with great courage by speaking out.
ReplyDeleteI had my wedding and have my son's Bar Mitzvah booked with Morrell Caterers. I never liked Tom. Scott Morrell is so creative, talented and genuine. I am so looking forward to my son's affair!
