Professional Catering Services
40 years of backstage access, each pass tied to a story that pushed us forward. Let us share some of our favorites.
1986
Grateful Dead at the Cumberland County Civic Center
The band wanted a full Thanksgiving dinner, but Portland was out of cranberries. Jerry Garcia sat quietly, cigarette pinned to his guitar, while all the pieces were in motion.
Before long, the runner was back from Boston and everyone sat down to eat.
Cooking for artists in small venues and theaters
Around Portland, Boston, and New York. No fleet, no trailers, just heart and our tiny truck! Feeding everyone from Elton John to Tom Jones, from Aretha Franklin to the Stones.
1996
Phish’s Clifford Ball at the Plattsburgh Air Force & Gathering of the Vibes
Our first camping festivals. Long days, late nights, and the beginning of an era. We learned how to scale, how to adapt, and how to keep a crew fed no matter what the day threw at us. We met volunteers who became lifelong friends.
Blink-182 on the road & babies in the kitchen
Some mornings started in Kerry’s own kitchen, babies in carriers, band crews half awake, and breakfast sizzling before the buses even arrived.

Entering our festival era: Baptism by mud
From Phish’s Lemonwheel to Coventry, All Good to Langerado, we cooked through rain, mud, and impossible crowds. Coventry’s meal counts were so high that local stores opened at three in the morning just to keep up. It was wild, messy, and the moment we knew we could handle anything.
The coldest one: International Biathlon
We cooked for international media and athletes in freezing temperatures, hauling gear and Red Barn’s Seafood Chowder across the snow on sleds and snowmobiles. Our coldest event ever, but also one of the most memorable.

Coast to coast expansion
Suddenly we were everywhere: California, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, Louisiana. Every state, every genre, every crew. Same hunger, same energy, just a much bigger map.

2021
The Dead at Barton Hall
For their anniversary show at Cornell, we brought out some time-honored favorites for Bob Weir and Phil Lesh. It felt like coming full circle, a nod to where this all began.

Scaling to huge: EDC Las Vegas
Our first EDC: 60,000 meals in twenty-four days. The energy was electric, the hours were intense, and our team proved they could feed a small city if needed. … and Elvis entered the building!
160.000 meals served in a year
Our biggest year yet. Serving over one hundred sixty thousand meals and donating thousands more. The work got bigger, louder and faster, but the spirit stayed the same.
2025
2026 & Beyond
New stages, new cities, new crews to feed.
We are gearing up for bigger builds, faster moves, and moments we have not yet met. A fresh season of stories waiting to happen, and we cannot wait to cook our way through every one of them.
