If you’re looking for a caterer who treats your event like it’s their own, look no further than Rooted En Flavor. We hired them for my daughter Bryanna’s baby shower and they exceeded every expectation from start to finish.
The process began well before the event — the planning conversations and menu design were collaborative, thoughtful, and clearly driven by people who take real pride in what they do. They listened, made recommendations, and helped us build a menu that felt personal to the occasion rather than generic.
On the day of the shower, the onsite execution was seamless. The team’s attention to detail was evident in everything — from the presentation of the food to the way they engaged with our guests to make sure everyone was taken care of. That kind of service-minded presence during an event is rare and it made a real difference in how the day felt.
And the food? Outstanding. Every dish landed the way it was promised — fresh, flavorful, and well-timed throughout the event.
Rooted En Flavor didn’t just cater our shower — they helped make it memorable. We will absolutely be using them again and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a team that brings both culinary excellence and genuine hospitality to the table.

The barbecue was absolutely delicious! The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, the cornbread was perfectly sweet and moist, and the ribs were amazing—fall-off-the-bone tender with incredible seasoning. Everything was cooked beautifully, and we enjoyed every bite!

The food for my party was elevated in every way! Not only were all the dishes delicious, but the presentation and service were outstanding. Dessert was especially a highlight! I appreciated the communication ahead of time to discuss the likes and preferences of the guest of honor. Every effort was made to customize a menu that met the needs of my specific occasion. Numerous guests left my house asking for a referral for the catering. I highly recommend Rooted En Flavor!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All pricing is negotiable and menus are custom made for each client. We are able to offer more substantial discounts for larger parties as opposed to smaller groups. We always charge by the number of people and ingredient type and only source from quality vendors.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We reach out to gather more information, send over a custom menu with pricing based off our call, upon acceptance we send over a contract and invoice for 50% deposit payable via a secure online link.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a Mediterranean trained chef but can cook multiple styles. We fly around the world twice a year to study under different chefs in different countries so we may bring those nuances back home to the U.S.
