I know if you do not get to go to an event that's being catered by them, you'll never get to try…read morethem.. We were invited to a local furniture store being catered by CC BBQ. Let me start by saying that it was some of the best I've had in a long long time. It was set up outside under a large canopy tent. Beautiful weather that day. You trade your ticket for a plate. Started with a roll and butter, coleslaw, potato salad out of this world, baked beans yummm, smoked thighs and legs and turkey breast. 2 kinds of sauces, regular and hot. I did overload my plate a bit, but it all looked so so delicious. 1st the sides were spot on. All of them. 2nd the meat was smoked too perfection. I smoke allot so I'm partial to a certain type and this was it. The chicken was so tender that it just fell off the bone with a great smoke flavor. Also had tubs and ice chests full of water bottles!! I ate everything on my plate. It was that good. Really hoping they do this again next year as we enjoyed the invite and made a new purchase too. Win win Not to mention we met several new people there as well.

When Vesta and I lived in New Zealand, we had a Japanese girl named Shino, who was on sort of an…read moreexchange program with Kiwi girls, living with us for a month and since we didn't have a job, we went everywhere the bus took her and the twenty-four other girls who came with her to New Zealand. And one of the places the bus took us to was a Maori Hangi, which is sorta like a Luau, only more fun. Cooking a pig in the ground is part of their culture and let me tell you, they know how to cook a pig. It was to die for. Vesta and I met Rob last June, when he was catering a Beer NV event and we were treated to his roast pig and now here is where I compare it to that Hangi Vesta and I went to with Shino and her crew. It was every bit as good. There is just something about roast pig and beer. It's a combination made in Heaven, I'm sure. Flash forward to this morning. Vesta and I pulled into a parking spot on the Sierra Street Bridge at a quarter to seven, behind Rob's van as he was getting out. So naturally, I wanted to take his photo for my Facebook 1001 Days of Faces project so asked him and he said yes. And if you're getting married and you want someone to cater your reception, you might wanna give Rob at Pig Out a call. He's pretty reasonable, his food is delicious and it's different. Your guests will be talking about it for years to come.

Rob went above and beyond for our wedding! I am so glad that we found him! The pig was awesome and…read morejuicy (I have had whole roast pig before but none as good as his) and the sides were great too! Make sure you get the mac and cheese also!

Top that off with the food being great and what more can you ask for? 5 stars and a customer for life!

Choosing Blend as our caterer was easily one of the best choices we made for our wedding day!…read moreWorking with Whitney and the Blend team was an absolute pleasure from the very beginning. They were always quick and responsive to answer our questions and the ease of scheduling our tasting was so easy! We loved that the tasting was an option and we both agreed this was easily our favorite part of the planning process. The only difficult aspect was selecting final proteins, sides, and appetizers because they're all SO good that you wish you could choose them all. The catering team on the day of the wedding were so freaking sweet. They were flexible, rolled with the rain, and didn't skip a beat on timing or set-up. It was important to us to attend our cocktail hour (in lieu of photos and missing out on guests), but as an extra benefit - the second I'd finished an appetizer, the Blend team was magically at my side to give me another. Truly, 10/10 service! In an unexpected moment, one of the Blend catering staff had congratulated us on a beautiful wedding and had then said: "They say rain is good luck on your wedding day because it washes away all the hardship that's come before." I've previously heard that 'rain on your wedding day is good luck', yet I'd never heard the second part of the saying or 'why' it's good luck. She couldn't have known our story, but my husband's a Marine and we've been together for 11 years through countless deployments, exercises, and overseas assignments. Her sharing that with us meant so much and it's stuck as one of the profound moments where I felt incredibly present and rooted on that day. Not only that moment, but all of the Blend staff were so kind and present with all our guests. I would see them laughing and joking and our guests could not stop raving about how good the food was!! They also LOVED that there was the option to go back for seconds. Each of the Blend staff at one point had complimented my dress (it was black!) and they all made me feel beautiful and seen in so many ways. As the late night bites were passed around and one of the trays emptied, the Blend girls joined us on the dance floor and it was such an epic blast. On the logistics front, Blend delivered yet again. We had 2 guests with allergies and 2 guests with dietary preferences and coordinating their needs were so easy. We also discovered one of our guests had a tonsillectomy 3 days before our wedding, so we messaged the Blend team to see if they could make any last minute accommodations and again - they delivered! From the food, to the service, to their people - Blend is one of the best choices you can make for your wedding. I can't recommend them, their food, or their staff enough. Our final selection choices: - Appetizers: Korean beef short rib wrap, pork belly skewer with maple bourbon glaze (MY FAVE), and the tuna tostada (my second fave!) - Mains: The gochujang buttermilk fried chicken thighs and New York steak with au poivre sauce - Sides: Mashed potatoes (we LOVED the smashed potatoes during our tasting, but opted for mashed instead to dip the protein in, IYKYK), grilled asparagus. - Salad: Honey crisp salad - Drink station: apple cider, strawberry lemonade, and cucumber water (This was also such a huge hit for our guests that don't drink! They loved having more options than just soda or water.)

Best caterers in Reno? I certainly think so!…read more I've had the pleasure of enjoying the culinary creations from blend catering at many many many events throughout the years and I finally had a chance to have them cater one of my own! I was looking to host a 40th birthday party for my wife and reached out to the professionals at blend catering to help craft a menu. I knew that I wanted the menu to be entirely gluten-free and be something that could be vegan friendly. They directed me to the Mediterranean section of their menu which has clear influences from Israel and I got really excited because this also happens to be the type of cuisine that my wife loves. We had that za'atar chicken Shawarma, spice cauliflower and carrots, dill infused rice, freshly made hummus and a beautiful Israeli salad featuring a ton of mini heirloom, tomatoes, shaved, radish, and cucumbers all in a tangy vinaigrette, and 100% of the menu is gluten-free and everything except for the chicken was also vegan! The team at blend delivered everything to the venue and set it up in chafing trays for easy service. They provided tongs and spoons necessary for serving the food and we brought our own plates and silverware to make sure that was on brand for the party. The feedback on the food was incredible and even though we ordered food for the exact number of guests that were in attendance, there was even still enough food left over to provide one or two meals afterwards! This crew is top-notch and I recommend everybody do their catering with blend!

We had a discrepancy on what was supposed to be included with the bar. When Jeff became aware he addressed it with me (the groom), I let Jeff know that this was not what I expected and he immediately became defensive and making completely inappropriate accusations about our wedding planner. Whether the accusations were true or not, completely inappropriate. Our wedding was in June and I am still receiving anger and hate fueled emails regarding his service and defensiveness. I have extreme difficulty articulating how absolutely appalled I am that a vendor would do something so absolutely unprofessional at someone's wedding. Save yourself a headache, go with a different vendor.

I worked with Andrea throughout the year to come up with a tasty menu that was within our budget. She was willing to make substitutions and create the perfect meal. I also enjoyed our tasting (although I would have preferred to not pay for a tasting, but that is ok). All of our guests were satisfied nibbling on the Poppy Seed dressing salad, mixed vegetables, penne pasta with herbs, Salmon Picatta, and Chicken Saltimbocca. What I really liked was that their servers not only prepared the food and served it, but they set up and broke down the entire event - tables, chairs, linens, tents, etc. They were great and I even saw one server dance a little to our song. It was such a great experience and would definitely recommend this company!

Volume is the priority and things move fast. Seeing the burgers again (and hearing consistent feedback from people who go regularly), it's obvious these smash burgers are the real deal. Crispy edges, melty cheese, exactly what you want from that style of burger. The fries are also very solid -- which I usually don't even bother ordering with burgers but these are worth it. Sometimes first impressions aren't the whole story. Happy to correct the record here. NOLA is doing something right. Smash burgers with crispy edges are one of my biggest food weaknesses, and these absolutely deliver.
