Vibrant Occasions Chef Shares Valentine’s Day Recipes on Arkansas TV Cooking Segment

Chef Serge Krikorian of Vibrant Occasions Catering appeared on THV11’s The Vine show to demonstrate two Valentine’s Day recipes. The “Marry Me Chicken” and “Wedding Cake Crème Brûlée” showcased the chef’s picks for home chefs.

Little Rock, Arkansas, United States, February 19, 2025 — Chef Serge Krikorian of Vibrant Occasions Catering appeared as a special guest on a recent episode of Arkansas lifestyle show THV11’s The Vine to demonstrate romantic Valentine’s Day recipes for home cooks.

During the February 14th cooking segment, Chef Krikorian joined hosts Ashley King and Tracy Beene to showcase two signature dishes designed for celebrating special occasions: “Marry Me Chicken” and “Wedding Cake Crème Brûlée.”

“These recipes represent the perfect balance between sophisticated restaurant-quality dishes and approachable techniques that home cooks can confidently recreate,” said Chef Krikorian. “Valentine’s Day provides an excellent opportunity for people to express their affection through thoughtfully prepared meals.”

Chef Krikorian demonstrated the Mediterranean-inspired “Marry Me Chicken,” featuring pan-seared chicken breasts in a creamy sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and Asiago cheese. He followed with his innovative “Wedding Cake Crème Brûlée,” a dessert that captures wedding cake flavors in a traditional French custard format.

Chef Krikorian draws from his multicultural background to create unique flavor profiles. During the segment, he provided viewers with professional techniques for achieving restaurant-quality results, including proper cream tempering and achieving the perfect caramelized sugar crust. Chef Krikorian also hosts the popular YouTube cooking show “Cooking with the Kriks.”

The complete recipes demonstrated on the show will be available on the Vibrant Occasions Catering blog soon at the following link: https://vibrantoccasionscatering.com/catering-services-blog/ 

About Vibrant Occasions Catering:

Chef Serge Krikorian and his wife, Mary Krikorian, started their catering business in 2002 and have been in the family restaurant business since 1994. Having catered thousands of events over the years as Dinner’s Ready, they launched Vibrant Occasions Catering, a new name that more accurately depicts the level of food and service provided at weddings and social events. Krikorian was born in Lebanon and moved to the United States with his family as an adult entering college.  He now hails from the quaint town of Benton, Arkansas. His southern hospitality paired with his penchant for developing unique international fusion-style recipes, especially sauces, has garnered his reputation as foodies’ fan favorite in his community and now on the Youtube space for his cooking show, Cooking with the Kriks.  After years of dreaming about owning a mobile kitchen, in December 2020, Serge and Mary launched Our Mobile Kitchen with the intention of providing fresh, 5-star quality chef-prepared cuisine to patrons visiting where the mobile kitchen is parked or on site for catered weddings and social, private or corporate events.  Krikorian is an alumnus of Henderson State University where he studied business earning his Bachelor’s Degree and met his wife, Mary. He earned his MBA from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.  Serge became a restaurant entrepreneur when he purchased an old, run-down pizza parlor he and Mary revived called Sergio’s Pizza.  After a few years, they knew the restaurant business was not for them.  Mary booked their first official catering gig, much to Serge’s surprise. They began receiving more and more requests for catering luncheons and events. The catering business took over after six months and they never looked back.  They have three sons who often work in the business around their academic and career schedules, making their enterprise a family-built business.
