    Wedding tasting

    My fiancé and I met John and Julie for a tasting last weekend. The food was amazing! We enjoyed appetizers, chicken, beef skewers, mac and cheese, and he surprised us with a bread pudding dessert that was delicious! Everything was well seasoned and flavorful. Julie gave us a well-organized presentation about the service they will provide on the day of our event. We are confident that they will wow our guests at our wedding next summer!

    Bride

    John and his crew at Tailgate were amazing from our tasting to our wedding. They explained everything, were easy to work with and everyone loved their food. We had a tray during our photos and had so many leftovers we’ve been able to enjoy! I can’t thank them enough for how wonderful they were! I recommend them every chance I get!

    Food tasting!

    My fiance and I had our tasting with John and Julie in preparation for our wedding! The second we walked in the door we were welcomed with open arms into the kitchen! They made us feel so special! All of the food was AMAZING! They answered all our questions and walked us through what our day will look like! It was a perfect way to get even more excited for our wedding and know we are in the best possible hands! John was so communicative and scheduling was easy! I’m looking forward to sharing my day with them!

    An easy decision!

    John and his team are experts in their craft!! As someone who married a chef, we did not take our choice in catering lightly. Not only is his food delicious, but his staff is kind, organized and goes the extra mile to make things perfect. We received so many compliments on our menu!! It is obvious John loves what he does and strives to deliver the best!
