The Backyard

The Backyard Catering : Cooking : Community The Backyard is an idea. It is the beginning to my future concept. The idea of food has become synonymous with venturing out.

Making a reservation, driving, parking and an attempt to seclude yourself in a crowded dining room. Knowing your expectations and experience can only be met by the performance of others. The Backyard gives you an alternative solution. An experience chosen by you in the comfort of your own home. Custom catering menus designed by you with The Backyard Chef. Now add a guest list you've created and yo

u've maximized your dining experience. Want to be the highlight of your own event? Let The Backyard Chef assist you in expanding your culinary skills. The Backyard Chef offers instructional cooking classes in your kitchen. Whether it is a certain cuisine, learning some tips from a professional or just a fun night with friends, we can help you further your knowledge in cooking at home. The best part of being a Chef is not just knowing people enjoy your food, but seeing and enjoying it with them. Sunday Supper Club with The Backyard allows just this. A once a month gathering of friends, family and peers. Relaxing in our backyard, while enjoying a menu served family style. Menus and invites will be posted on our page in advance with 30 seats available for each Sunday Supper Club. The Backyard is an idea and concept that will be realized with your involvement and support. Thank you for all you help us achieve.
