PROTEINS/ENTREES:

​

WHOLE HOG PIG ROAST  Our most popular option for weddings and large corporate events, a whole hog pig roast is a great way to feed a crowd with that “wow factor”! Our whole hog pig roasts are smoked offsite for 12-24 hours (depending on the size of the hog) over Applewood or a mix of Hickory, Oak and Cherrywood. We do not inject, rub, or baste our hogs at all, as the flavor of the smoke shines through brilliantly and offers all the flavor you need! Carved tableside, your guests are encouraged to take photos, ask questions, or request certain parts of the hog! We include our signature Kansas-city style BBQ sauce on the side, as well.

CHICKEN OR TURKEY  Slow-roasted and lightly seasoned, quality local poultry products from the South Peace Colony make an excellent choice for your event.

PULLED PORK  Slow-smoked over Applewood for approximately 12 hours, rubbed with our Memphis dry rub and pulled while still warm…our Pulled Pork has the perfect amount of smoky delicious flavor that enhances the meat without overwhelming it.

APPLEWOOD SMOKED PORK RIBS  Slow-smoked over Applewood for approximately 5-6 hours, rubbed with our Memphis dry rub and the addition of local honey makes these ribs sweet, smoky, tangy, and absolutely perfect. No sauce needed! (though we do supply sauce on the side for those who prefer their ribs a bit saucy, as well!)

ROAST BEEF  Oven-roasted low n’ slow, allows us to turn economical cuts of roast beef into a tasty dish rivaling your best Grandma’s roast beef! Best paired with our Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, this one is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

SMOKED BEEF BRISKET  Dry-rubbed with our signature spice blend and smoked low n’ slow for approximately 12 hours renders our smoked Brisket tender and moist. Perfect alone or piled on a toasted Brioche bun.

PRIME RIB ROAST  Perfectly marbled local Prime Rib roast has all the flavor you’re looking for! Slow-cooked until perfection, and served so that guests may choose the more “well-done” outside pieces or the “rarer” inside pieces. Prime Rib is a great choice if you’re looking to impress!

FISH  We can offer a variety of fish choices, with the most popular of course, being our Smoked Salmon or Honey-Chipotle Salmon, which has a “little bit of heat and a little bit of sweet”!

MIDNIGHT LUNCH  Choose any of our Appetizer options and have us set them out for your “Midnight Lunch”, later in the evening!  

 

NOTE - Many guests would love to use any "leftovers" from dinner, as their "Midnight Lunch" meal. Due to liability issues and guidelines from Northern Health, any food that has been served for dinner CANNOT be saved and re-served to guests later. We are happy to set-aside trays in your venue's kitchen or in our refrigerators on the truck specifically for your "Midnight Lunch" of food that has not been hot-held or served at dinner though, if you would like the same menu for later. Please ask us about these options or discuss any desires for a "Midnight Lunch" meal that you may have. We do not automatically include a "Midnight Lunch".
