A Real Grill at Your Place

# Cookout Catering in DFW

We do not drop off trays. We bring a grill, set it up at your location, and cook while your guests are there, so the food hits the plate hot off the flame.

[Call (469) 888-8343](tel:+14698888343)[Email for Quote](mailto:hello@tedsbackyardburgers.com)

## What Is Cookout Catering?

Cookout catering is catering where the food is grilled on site at your event instead of being cooked elsewhere and delivered.

That one difference changes the whole event. Nothing sits in a chafing dish waiting for guests to find it. The grill runs while people are there, the smell carries across the yard, and the station becomes somewhere people stand around and talk. Burgers come off the flame and go straight onto a plate.

It also means somebody else is cooking. You are not the host who spent the party behind a grill and missed most of it.

## Cookout Catering

Here is what a setup looks like on the day. We arrive early, set up the grill station and the serving table, cook and serve through your service window, then pack the whole thing out and leave the space the way we found it.
