Do you have a restaurant and where is it?

I have a commissary in the Sidco / Armory Oaks Area where I smoke and prep the meat and other food. I owned a National Restaurant Franchise for four years and have found lowering operational cost by not having a store front has allowed me to compete with the major BBQ chain restaurants . That doesn’t mean if my catering business continues at the pace it is you won’t see a BPS BBQ near you in the very near future!

If you don’t have a restaurant how do I buy BBQ from you?

I deliver to party’s as small as 10 people with a delivery fee. I run specials on selling “whole” Boston Butts about once a month and delivery is included (within a reasonable radius). If you want BPS BBQ we will get it to you!

Do you use Boston Butts or Pork Shoulders to make your BBQ and is it chopped or pulled?

Again, I don’t take shortcuts and while smoking shoulders is more practical and costs less, Boston Butts are the ribeye of pork with beautiful marbling, a strip of tenderloin and are much richer in flavor. I pull ALL my meat myself as I haven’t found anyone yet who can pull with the precision I demand. Some BBQ Chains chop because it is quicker but chopping leaves too much fat and gristle and doesn’t make for lean and clean BBQ! I have always believed people notice the difference when you take the time to do things the right way!

How much notice do you need if I want to book you for an event ?

I can always work out a delivery catering but to get my Full Service Catering with Staff, steam tables, chaffing dishes, etc (see event photos) I really need at least 2 weeks to a month. I have some open dates in July and August of 2010 but they will fill up soon as evidenced by May having a Full Service Catering every weekend! So, once you know the date of your event, call or e-mail me so we can set up a consultation and taste test so you can get on my calendar!

How much do you charge for catering an event?

A lot of variables go into that question. It depends on what food you want, the number of people attending the event, what type of presentation you want from me and level of Full Service required. The pictures in my photo gallery show different levels of Full Service from a pool party with 375+ people, to a 150 person wedding, and a 100 person real estate open house. Each event is case specific and we always go over the options in my event planning consultation where in most cases I even provide samples. But to give some ballpark pricing, Full Service Catered events range from $8 to $12 per person again depending on all the aforementioned variables. Simple delivery catering can be as low as $6.50 per person depending on what is ordered.
