Twisted Late Night Snack Cravings

Planning on a late night celebrating your big day and dancing into the late hours? Chances are your guests may start to get hunger cravings and need a late-night snack to refuel their evening. No need to worry, Free-Range Kitchen has you covered. We offer a wide selection of creative snacks sure to please you and your guest.

One of our most popular late-night snacks is our Warm Pretzel Station. We’ve hand twisted and rolled thousands of pretzels and snowballs to carry guests through the night. Our pretzel station is the perfect combination that will provide your guest with a sweet or savory fix.

It Starts With A Great Pretzel

We hand make every pretzel we serve and display them on our pretzel wall and boards. Our traditional pretzels are brushed with butter and served warm from our on-site kitchen. It does not end with pretzels; you’ll need to try a couple of our pretzel snowballs. We make each bite with care and precision. First, we start by taking our pretzel dough and shape it into mini bites. Second, we roll in a cherry size piece of fresh whole milk mozzarella. Third, we bring on the snow by shaving parmesan cheese on top of the warm pretzel bites.

Smothered and Covered

Sweet, salty or both? Dressing your pretzel is all up to you with our four topping selections. If your late-night sweet tooth calls, you can satisfy it with a drizzle of our salted caramel. Maybe you are a chocoholic? Don’t worry, we got you “covered” with our rich velvety chocolate cremeux. If you are looking for a balance between sweet and salty, give the honey mustard dijonaisse a try.

Or Say Cheese Please

Bring on the beer cheese fondue! Free-Range Kitchen loves making this cheese fondue and supporting our local breweries. We utilize craft beer made by two of our favorite local breweries, Iron Monk Brewing Company and Vortex Alley Brewing. This beer fondue perfectly complements the pretzel and snowballs and is always crowd favorite.

Late-night snacks are a fun way to refuel your guests and finish out the night on the dance floor. Check out our Late Night Snack Menu for a full list of offerings. Or let us know what you crave late at night and we can custom design a menu for you!

Five Reasons to Hire a Caterer for your Party

When it comes to hosting a party at your house, the to-do list before the event can be overwhelming. From cleaning your home and purchasing decorations, to setting up tables and chairs, you have enough on your plate. Whether it’s for Christmas, a birthday, 4th of July party or just because, there are five reasons to hire a caterer for your party.

1. Custom Menus

Why serve the standard hot dogs and hamburgers when you can have a custom menu developed special for your party? Not only do we offer a wide selection of unique food items, but we also have the proper equipment to serve groups of all sizes.

2. Accomodate Dietary Needs

We all know someone who requests gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, GMO-free, sugar-free and/or low-carb foods. Trying to accommodate different dietary needs can be a challenge. Serve up stress-free food by hiring a caterer.

3. Fresh & Fun

Our mobile kitchen allows us to cook food on site to serve fresh for your guests. In addition, having our trailer there gives the feeling of having a food truck at your party. Who doesn’t like the fun vibe of a food truck?

4. More Time to Enjoy the Party

Planning, purchasing, preparing and serving food is time consuming, especially for a crowd. Add on the stress of making sure hot foods stay warm, cold foods stay cool and refilling empty trays…that takes the fun right out of the party. By hiring a caterer you can focus on greeting and mingling with guests while they rave over the delicious food.

5. NO. DIRTY. DISHES.

The best part of hiring a caterer for a home party? You don’t have to clean any dishes after the party is over! If that’s not enough to hire a caterer, nothing is.

Custom Catering Menus

You have a stunning ring, a gorgeous dress, and decorations that will make future Pinterest brides swoon. You put a lot of time and effort into crafting the perfect wedding that captures your personality, relationship and style. Your wedding doesn’t fit a cookie-cutter mold, so why should the food?

Every bride and groom are different, so their wedding menus should be, too. That’s why at Free-Range Kitchen couples receive a custom wedding catering menu. Here’s how we do it.

No Set Menu

If you browse our website you’ll notice we don’t have an outlined menu with prices we use for every wedding. Instead, we prefer to meet with the bride and groom to discuss what they want to serve at their reception and then build a menu from there. We have experience with a variety of cuisines and we’re always up for a new challenge.

More Options

Everyone has different tastes, so not everyone wants to eat the exact same meal at your wedding. While this may seem like a major obstacle, we consider it an opportunity. We recently worked with a couple who requested fish and pasta on their menu. We were able to provide them three options with interchangeable side dishes at different price points. The results? Full stomachs, happy guests and satisfied newlyweds.

“Free-Range Kitchen catered my daughter’s wedding reception, and they were FABULOUS! Since they prepare the food on site in their mobile commercial kitchen, the food is very fresh. . . . I could not have asked for a more professional group of people to work with. I would definitely recommend Free-Range Kitchen to anyone looking for a first class catering experience. I feel very fortunate that we found them to cater our wedding!”

Cultural Connections

Weddings are the perfect time to acknowledge your heritage and family traditions. Serving food from your culture adds a unique touch to your wedding day your guests won’t soon forget. We were able to meet this desire for one of our couples who wanted to combine African family food with traditional American wedding cuisine. The sky is the limit when it comes to custom cultural menus from Free-Range Kitchen!
