Introduction: Brooklyn Rolls opened in November 2016 as a food cart in Whitefish, Montana. An effort to bring some classic NY food to a remote locale. In August of 2017 - a year to the day from cart opening, we added a second, mobile cart to our arsenal and attended fairs all over Montana and catered special events until we opened our first brick and mortar restaurant in January 2018.
It got too cold for us in Montana so we went to serve the Brooklyn love in Tucson Arizona on the University campus across from the Wildcat's Football Stadium. Alas, liquor license problems kept us from achieving the full dream. So We are back in Montana!
The goal from our fledgling brand - from the very start - has been twofold: the first is totally and unabashedly self-serving - to reconnect homesick chef Jack Ryan with his sorely missed Brooklyn-Italian style food heritage. Done. The second is to, quite simply, fill the bellies of the Tucson downtown faithful with delicious NYC style delicacies.
We have been catering for 15 years and can bring many other varieties of our delicious food to your special event.
We bring all the required equipment and will design a spectacular menu for you with our culinary team. I oversee the entire production team for your event and can create something wonderful for almost any budget.
We like to party. If you are having one, let us know... Our specialty is Italian fare, but we also do everything from classic deli-style sandwiches and seafood a la carte to Latin Fusion, Mediterranean and everything in between.
My name is Jack Ryan and aside from running our catering business, I have been the Food and Beverage manager for many restaurants and resorts in NYC, Costa Rica, Montana and now Tucson! I have been in the hospitality/catering business for 28 years and pride myself on our unique guest experience.
I have been GM of several restaurants in my career and aside from our present opening in Tucson, I am also the former owner of my own seafood restaurant in Costa Rica, so we can discuss many different options for your special event.
We love serving people with great food and great service. We'd be honored to be part of your next event.
