The catering menu, built around your headcount
No PDF mazes. Slide to your guest count below and we'll recommend the right package with a real price estimate — then lock it in with a quote or a phone call.
How the packages work
Every package is built on the same kitchen that runs the counter: chicken and beef carved off the spit, falafel fried in batches, hummus and toum made in-house, warm pita and proper pickles. The tiers change quantity and service style — not quality.
Drop-off trays come in insulated carriers, labeled and ready to serve with sternos on request. The Live Spit tier brings the vertical spit and a carver to your venue, which turns dinner into the main event.
Mixing and matching
The builder gives you the honest ballpark; the final menu is yours to shape. Vegetarian-heavy crowd? We shift the ratio toward falafel and load up the mezze. All-meat office? Double protein, lighter sides. Tell us what the room looks like and we'll make the math work.

Questions, answered
How much lead time do you need for catering?+
For standard drop-off trays, 48 hours is ideal and 24 hours usually works. Large orders for 50-plus guests are best booked a week out, and live carving stations should be reserved two to three weeks ahead. Last-minute? Call (747) 377-0707 anyway — if there's room on the spits, we'll often make it happen.
Is there a minimum headcount?+
Our catering packages start at 10 people with The Block Party. Under 10, you're better served by our pickup party trays — same food, smaller format, and often available same-day.
Do you set everything up, or just drop it off?+
Your choice. Drop-off orders include us arranging trays, sauces, and pita in serving order so your buffet line runs itself. The Live Spit package includes full setup, a carver serving through your event window, and breakdown afterward.
How far will you deliver?+
Our core zone is Glendale, Burbank, and Pasadena, plus the neighborhoods in between. For larger orders we regularly run trays into the broader San Fernando Valley and toward downtown LA — the bigger the order, the farther we'll happily drive.
