Conventional catering isn’t the standard we’re chasing. We believe food should be more than something served at an event. We bring together **bold flavors, creative presentation, and unexpected details** to create celebrations people remember long after the last bite. From beautifully styled grazing displays to inventive dishes inspired by a fusion of flavors and cultures, every menu is designed to feel and be distinctly yours. Our approach is simple: *exceptional food should look every bit as incredible as it tastes.* We blend culinary creativity with thoughtful design, transforming food that invites guests to gather, taste, explore, and enjoy.

“3 of the members of this team have a total of 25 years working for our corporation. When we decided to sell we were so happy to hear that they were opting to go out on their own and do their own thing. The corporate catering realm is an intense life but they have always been 100% invested in growing our company and making sure that all our clients had the best of the best.”

“John and his team are not just caterers, they are a whole experience. It is clear from the initial communication with Tailgate Gourmet that they are here to cook and serve you high-end, thoughtful meals AND to be a part of your wedding's atmosphere. We were sold just stepping into John's tasting kitchen; his team were there to provide not just a taste of the catering options, but the personality and level of service you could expect as part of your day. It's clear that John is a master of his craft and cares deeply about his menu offerings; he delivered diverse, delicious dishes, worked within our budget, and ensured that our guests with dietary and mobility restrictions had just as wonderful an experience as everyone else. We loved that Tailgate Gourmet is a self-contained operation, which worked perfectly for our outdoor wedding on a private property that didn't have infrastructure for a professional on-site kitchen setup. The team quickly assessed and adapted to the space we had available, and left no trace they'd even been there by the end of the night. Our guests (who are not shy about sharing feedback) let us know this was the "best wedding food EVER" and that the tenderloin and Mediterranean planked salmon were more delicious and well-prepared than any restaurant dish they've had in the past. If your priority is providing your guests with a darned good meal-- don't hesitate!”

“Maeghan was so helpful and patient with us not knowing what we were doing and changing our minds throughout the planning phases. When I had questions I could always count on her getting back to me within a day, often the same day. The staff that were on site the day of the wedding were phenomenal; professional, kind, and EFFICIENT. I didn't get a chance to interact with them too much as I was losing my mind most of the day. We arrived late to the venue and they were already there; had tidied up the things we'd left out from setup the night before and were setting tables for us. They kept things running smoothly the whole day and went well beyond what I expected for clean up. I was too wound up and anxious to eat at all, but the guests all said the food was excellent. The only complaint I have is that clean-up may have been TOO efficient, we had to go hunting for boxes afterwards! :)”

We are Stephen and Rae! We met as teenagers in 2007 and married in 2012. We originally started college together in PA when Stephen encouraged me to pursue me passion in cooking. We moved to MA for me to attend Le Cordon Bleu while Stephen studied law. We settled here permanently after graduation. In 2020 I started RGKkitchen. Working together came naturally and quickly took off. Our most popular areas are Cape Cod, Boston, Newport/Middletown, & Narragansett. We service all of RI, the MA coast, and down to Mystic, CT. We typically travel within 80 miles of 02748 but do go further for some events. We're happy to accommodate if we can!

“Working with Rae, Stephen and their team was so much fun from start to finish. We had a wonderful tasting where they made us feel right at home (fell in *love* with the food) and then did everything they could do to make our day perfect. We had a LOT of pivots to make (hellllllo, rainy day) and they both handled everything flawlessly and went above & beyond with everything. We would work with them again and again, truly great people and very, very talented. Our guests loved everything and couldn't say enough good things. You will absolutely not regret working with these guys – we felt so grateful to have linked with them!”

“When it came to curating the perfect dining experience for our wedding, Chef Munah and her team exceeded every expectation and then some. From the very beginning, Chef Munah made us feel seen, heard, and deeply cared for. She worked closely with my husband and me to craft a menu that celebrated the richness of our cultures, blending flavors and traditions into a meal that was not just food but an experience—one that embodied the warmth, connection, and joy we wanted our wedding day to reflect. Her attention to detail was impeccable. From planning to execution, her professionalism, creativity, and passion were evident every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, her team was nothing short of extraordinary. The servers were attentive, kind, and gracious, always ensuring that every guest was taken care of. Their punctuality, preparation, and seamless coordination made everything feel effortless, allowing us to simply enjoy the day. Chef Munah herself was truly a godsend. Even on the wedding day, she made herself available to support us, going above and beyond to make sure every element of the dining experience was flawless. Her talent and care shone through in every bite. My family and friends are still raving about how it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had—a sentiment echoed over and over again in the days and weeks since. The love and intention she poured into her dishes made every guest feel like part of a beautiful, shared story. Choosing Chef Munah was also meaningful to us as we were thrilled to support a woman-owned business. She embodies grace, resilience, and immense talent, and it was an honor to have her as such an integral part of our day. If you're looking for someone who will not only serve food but also bring heart, artistry, and community to your table, look no further than Chef Munah. She is a gift, and her work is truly unmatched. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Chef Munah, for making our wedding day so special and memorable. You and your team are simply amazing!”

“We cannot recommend Soraya and her team enough! We had a Turkish American wedding and she was both our caterer and coordinator. The food was delicious and we are still getting compliments almost a month after! She really understood what was needed to combine both Turkish and American style foods, and was very conscious of what would work for our crowd and what wouldn’t. Soraya was able to answer questions I didn’t even know I had, and we were able to confidently hand everything over to her so that we were fully present during our special day. If anything went wrong, we were completely unaware. The wedding day was truly magical and we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy our day without her! Thank you Soraya :)”

“Jodi catered our wedding reception at the Arlington Town Hall in June 2023. Through all the planning, she made great recommendations for both the food and entire layout. For starters, she created a delicious menu accommodating over a dozen allergies. The dessert pies that she recommended from a local bakery were amazing. Jodi was very easy to work with. She gave good advice on the floor plans and was very patient with us when we made multiple changes to the seating arrangement and table sizes. Her team setup our DIY decorations and made the reception hall beautiful. And the staff were a delight to work with. Among the lovely reception, and our guests enjoying the meals, did we enjoy the food on our wedding day? Of course not! Why? Because you don’t eat on your wedding day. Instead, they packed our leftover meal, our cake, and some drinks for us to enjoy after the wedding. Jodi has our highest recommendation.”

“I wanted to share my appreciation for Culinary Creations — they did an amazing job with the breakfast buffet at my daughter’s bridal shower. Stefan and Bob were professional, easy to work with, and answered questions promptly. They were punctual with drop-off, and the buffet looked very professional with thoughtful design and elegance. Attendees raved about the variety: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast, breakfast potatoes, assorted pastries, mini muffins, coffee cake, gluten-free options, and fruit salad. The coffee and tea bar — including an iced coffee option — was a BIG hit; we received numerous compliments on how delicious the iced coffee was. I would highly recommend Culinary Creations for any event needing catering.”
