Holy moly melted matzo balls, these folks are on point…read more I have bartended and served at many weddings spanning the better part of a decade. As an employee of the Harvard Club in Boston (yeah the club is in Boston not Cambridge- weird I know) and Guastavino's in Manhattan, I've learned that 90% or more of what wedding guests are served is commercially prepared frozen food. Backcountry Catering proved to me there's a better way. Last week I got the chance to meet the proprietors of Backcountry Catering, Stef and Jeff, at their commercial kitchen in Norwood and prep for a party of 200 guests. Sure mashing potatoes isn't a glamorous job, but watching these masters at work was a sight to behold. What stood out to me the most was witnessing them painstakingly prep everything from chives to grilling the mains for days on end. While their own wedding is just weeks away they treated this event as if it was their own; putting their own needs on the back burner. When we finally did break for dinner at 9:30 pm, my taste buds were treated to ravioli served with a sage brown butter sauce that was to die for. Each station is held to a higher standard in the kitchen than I have ever witnessed in any commercial kitchen. Germaphobes rejoice, they are as particular as you! Their mobile kitchen is awe-inspiring- including a wood-fired Chicago brick pizza oven, an Ole Hickory CTO smoker, two commercial deep fryers, a 36-inch flat top griddle, a 24-inch charbroiler, a 6 burner stove and oven, and a customizable 50-inch full digital display. As a perpetually hungry person, I've seen a lot of food trucks and mobile kitchens over the years- none of them hold a candle to this bad boy. Chef Jeff has also won the title of Telluride's Top Chef four years in a row. I think it's safe to say you need to look no further than Backcountry catering for your next event.

She does It all. When she said she wanted to back her trailer up to our wedding event, I was a little worried about what it would look as we were having an outdoor wedding, and what it would look like but when it started coming down the road I couldn't be more pleased. Take a look at this trailer. It is phenomenal as well! You will not be disappointed in hiring this company to cater your event.

Katy used to cook in the Santa Maria area of California and it shows. I really love her tender, nicely smoked tri tip - often in a sandwich, sometimes in a wrap. She also makes a killer pineapple salsa that really sets it off. Ribs and chicken are available too, as are Santa Maria style beans. Just drive by and smell the peach wood smoke and the meat on the grill and you will be hungry!!

The owner gave us some tasty samples of pork cuts and we had to go for it. For $11, you can get 2 meat cuts and 1 side. The portions are huge and the quality is unbelievable. The cooker is right next to the food truck and it comes directly to the truck where she cuts it up for the customer. I had pork bbq and rib combo. The pork was so tender, juicy and flavorful. Nice and crispy on the outside and moist & tender on the inside. I could not have asked for anything else while sitting in front of the truck starring at the mountains on a cool autumn day. It's a must stop for travelers for sure.

I had a good breakfast at the Sunday buffet. A good breakfast, but not great…read more Oddly, the things I thought would be awful were very good. The eggs bennie should not have worked on a steam tray. While they didn't seem classic eggs benedict, there was a nice english muffin topped with thin ham and a nicely runny egg. I liked it. The posole was great as were the make your own tacos (with a pulled pork that was nicely tender). Scrambled eggs worked as did the generous thick sliced bacon. Oddly, the biscuits and gravy didn't work for me - somehow they were on the sweet side. That should have been a slam dunk, but not so much. Not a fan of the apricot sauced sausage patties either. Sounded better than it tasted. But, for the price, I got a lot of good food. It was more than enough to fill me. I do think you need to be selective here. The space is HUGE. You do need to remember that this is a catering venue and I think it would be delightful for a large party. The mid-room floor to ceiling stone fireplace is spectacular and I can see wedding photos staged in front of it. Also, given that it is a catering hall, be prepared for plastic tables that can be rearranged easily. Servers were VERY friendly and efficient. Not a bad Bloody Mary, either. So, I'd say not to expect elegance, but good value.

Some of the items were pretty decent. But a lot of them were what you would expect from a hot continental breakfast at a hotel. The deserts though they looked good, were not good. All of the trays were covered with nowhere to put the cover, cumbersome. This is like golden corral with uncomfortable seats in an awkward setting.
