    We recently attended a tasting with John while planning the celebration a month following our wedding. Initially, we had envisioned a simple, casual BBQ for our guests. However, after experiencing John’s cooking, we quickly realized that what he creates is anything but simple. Each dish had incredible depth of flavor and thoughtful preparation, taking familiar BBQ favorites and elevating them into something truly special. The food felt both comforting and refined—exactly the kind of meal that will make our celebration feel memorable for everyone attending. John and Julie were also wonderful to work with throughout the tasting—passionate, attentive, and clearly dedicated to his customers After tasting his food, we are even more excited for our celebration and feel so lucky that he will be preparing our celebratory meal. We can’t wait for our guests to experience it.

    Recently had a catering tasting with John, and it was such an amazing experience!! The food was so delicious, made with clean ingredients and lots of love. AND we even got to take home lots of leftovers, which was so kind of John and his team.

  • So far so good!!

    We were recommended to try tailgate gourmet and I reached out regarding more details. From the start John was super helpful. We went over what we were looking for and he invited us and a few friends in for a menu tasting and let me say that was the most fun I have had in a long time! The food was amazing and the company was great! Cant wait to see them again at our wedding!
