“Rudy and his staff catered our wedding of ~100 people and they were absolutely fantastic! We heard nothing but compliments from our guests. I never would have guessed a food truck could produce the high-quality, fancy fare I envisioned. Very easy to work with, flexible, and always so kind and professional.”
— Alyssa D., Wedding · Yelp
“Chef Rudy catered my nephew's wedding at the Lake House in Cloverdale, all from their food truck. Appetizers of baked brie and mushroom pastry were amazing, and entrees of beef and salmon were as good or better than any I've had.”
— Rick G., Wedding · Yelp
“Chef Rudy and his team do not disappoint. He is accommodating of dietary restrictions, and the customer service is off the charts. We recently hired him for a catering event, our friends and family are still talking about it.”

“Soo good I went twice in 3 days during the pop up at Shades of Brew. The Boss Hog was probably my favorite — juicy burger topped with cheese, bacon and super tender pulled pork with Chef Rudy's awesome bbq sauce.”
— Michael K., Yelp
