Real Qfire parties
Look closer: Friends gathered around one round table, smiles all around and Chef Terry grinning in the foreground. That is a party.
What you get: Chef-led catering at your home, rental or venue, with service planned around your gathering so you can enjoy your guests.
Imagine your group at that table. Can you see it?
Look closer: A whole char-grilled lobster tail laid across a bone-in steak, with a vegetable medley, loaded mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. That is a full dinner, not a side plate.
What you get: The Steakhouse Experience brings that plate to your party from $79.00 per guest, with buffet service, real plates and glassware.
This is what your guests get served. Good, right?
Look closer: Hands in the air, plates loaded, and nobody on grill duty except us.
What you get: We set up, cook, serve and break down the buffet, so you actually get to be at your own party.
That host could be you this time.
Look closer: Grilled chicken stacked high, pasta, salads and sauced sides lined up on a backyard buffet as guests dig in.
What you get: Wood-Fired BBQ from $13.99 per person, with buffet service available.
Generous food, happy guests. Easy decision?
Look closer: Char-grilled steak under sautéed mushrooms and onions, grilled shrimp, asparagus and roasted red potatoes, plated and ready to sit down to.
What you get: Every plate is portioned per guest, so seconds are welcome, not a gamble.
Nobody leaves hungry. Ever.
