Longview Man’s Catering Menu Has a Cameo Role on Grey’s Anatomy
This is a little random, but I found it funny.
Creative director at Forbes and Butler Visual Communications, Jason Butler, wasn’t watching Grey’s Anatomy when the menu he designed for the Corner Bakery Cafe made it into Meredith Grey’s hands in the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. His colleage, however, Glenda Ross, did recognize the menu as Butler’s and called to let him know.
“This particular catering menu was actually redesigned last year,” Butler said. “It just happens to show up on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ Nobody knew it was even going to happen.”
Companies often pay big bucks for product placement in movies and television shows, but that wasn’t the case in this instance.
The show is filmed in Los Angeles, Butler said, one of Corner Bakery’s biggest markets. He speculated that the show had brought food for the cast from Corner Bakery the day when the finale was filmed.
Grey was planning a party in the finale, and Butler said the show probably needed a menu to illustrate that point and picked up Corner Bakery’s catering menu out of convenience. The logo was covered up in the shot that appeared on television, Butler said, probably because the company had not paid for product placement.
“It’s kind of neat to put a bunch of work into something and see it in an environment where millions of people are seeing it,” he said.
Hopefully, he’ll start tuning into Grey’s Anatomy from now on.
