Fort Worth’s Favorite Holiday Catering

Next post

The holidays can be stressful. Between the shopping and the cleaning and the cooking and the parties and the copious amounts of holiday cheer, November and December are, for many of us, exhausting. Why not take something off your plate and let someone else do the cooking for the whole meal or just a part of it? We asked the members of Tanglewood Moms for their suggestions, and their suggestions are, as usual, fantastic.

Luckybee Kitchen

www.luckybeekitchen.com

Whether you want to cater an event or hire the award-winning food truck, Chef Jenny Castor will create a memorable evening tailored to your exacting standards. Focusing on seasonal cooking, Chef Castor’s eclectic menus and gorgeous presentations have established Luckybee Kitchens as one of Fort Worth’s favorite caterers.

The Cheese Girl

If you want to pair your cheese with wine, don’t fret. Lindsey offers sommelier wine pairings. From individual cheese cups to holiday-themed boards to grazing tables for hundreds, the Cheese Girl is ready to spread the cheese love.

Kap Que Artisan Meats

www.kapque.com

We’re Texans. We love our barbecue, and some of the best out there is available from Kap Que Artisan Meats. If you don’t want to stay up all night before your guests arrive tending the smoker, let the Kap Que pitmasters provide the meats. From brisket to salmon, chicken to ribs, pork to sausage, everything is smoked low and slow over Texas hardwoods. Stock up on napkins and dig in!

Dusty Biscuit Beignets

www.thedustybiscuit.com

Laissez les bon temp rouler, y’all! Whether you pick up a dozen French Market-style beignets for a holiday morning, or you have Chef Trey Smith and his crew come to serve your guests some of the best gumbo and boudin balls outside of Louisiana, the Dusty Beignet is sure to turn your holiday party into a proper fais do do.

Love You More Special Events

www.lymevents.info

Wouldn’t it be lovely to let someone else plan your party so you can just show up and enjoy the evening? Why not let Missy Williams and Love You More Special Events (LYM) do just that for you? While many caterers only provide the food and tableware, LYM  takes care of everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Flowers? Check. Photography? Check. Delicious food? Check, check, and check.

Hao’s Grocery & Café

Hao Tran is a renaissance woman. A teacher, a Fort Worth pop-up pioneer, a food blogger, and a business owner, Hao has established herself as one of Fort Worth’s favorite chefs.

Pulido’s Kitchen and Cantina

www.pulidostx.com

What is the one food that ex-pat Texans miss most? Tex-Mex. Who has been making delicious, authentic Tex-Mex for almost 60 years? Pulido’s Kitchen and Cantina.

www.stircrazybakedgoods.square.site

What do you get when a tea and bookshop joins forces with one of Fort Worth’s favorite bakeries? You get heaven, of course! Stir Crazy’s Robbie Werner sold her bakery to Leaves’ Tina Howard, and Tina has continued to offer delicious cakes, cookies, muffins, pies, and scones along with her curated tea blends. Come in and browse the book selection while your cup of tea brews, and then take home your holiday dessert and a couple of more books. (You can never have too many books, right?)

Lil’ Boy Blue BBQ

Sweet Lucy’s Pies

In our family, no holiday meal is complete without pie. The perfect pie relies on the perfect crust, and no one in our family can make a good crust. Fortunately for those of us who are piecrust-challenged, there is Sweet Lucy’s Pies. Owner Lindsey Lawing’s crust is the basis for some of the tastiest and most creative pies you have ever tasted. Seriously, check out their charcuterie pie board (you read that correctly) or their caramel pumpkin meringue pie. You won’t be disappointed.

Carpenter’s Café & Catering

www.carpscafe.net

Born from owner and chef Katrina Carpenter’s love of community and service, Carpenter’s Café & Catering has quickly become one of Fort Worth’s premier caterers.

To that end, they turned their love of cheese and their eye for detail into charcuterie boards and grazing tables that will make your guests gasp. The sisters turn cheese, fruits, and meats into edible works of art. Why not substitute a grazing table for a sit-down meal this holiday season?

    The Mattress Factory

    A Fort Worth Original Since 1896! Harry Keeton, Sr., began selling mattress supplies in Fort Worth, Texas, back in 1896. Little did he know that this was the beginning of what was later to become the fastest growing chain of factory direct sleep stores. His two sons, Harry and Frank took over the business and expanded into Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California; shipping furniture and mattress supplies all over the world. Four generations later, Peter Duncan, Jr., realized that there was a need for Factory Direct Marketing and began selling his products directly to the consumer at wholesale prices. This concept has spread like wildfire. Public acceptance has been overwhelming. This great demand has caused the Mattress Factory to become a leader in the industry. Our production exceeds 10000 pieces manufactured each year. Our buying power, along with the "no middleman" concept give maximum savings, which are passed along to the customer... you! When you purchase from the Original Mattress Factory you save 50% off the purchase price at a retail store. Mention Tanglewood Moms and receive 10% off! 800-211-7378 toll free 817-334-0361 (local Fort Worth)
