House Party With Food Trucks? – It’s Like Bread and Butter

Did someone say house party?

Planning an incredible gathering at your Central Florida home? Don’t want to spend the entire time stuck behind a stove or a grill?  Don’t worry, we can help!  Whether you want a casual backyard BBQ, or something a little fancier, such as charcuterie and amuse bouches, we can make that happen too!

For years it’s been about keeping up with the Jones’, and the Jones’ are awesome people, so we don’t want anyone to one up each other, but having a food truck cater at your home would give you more time to spend with them, and really get to enjoy how cool the Jones’ really are! (See their home below, those are full size food trucks at one of our caterings).

Bringing a food truck to your home for your next gathering will not only just bring you more time to enjoy, but much more!  There’s no set up or break down, and you’re not stuck in the kitchen all night, unless you’re there enjoying a drink with your guests.  You’ll be the life of the party with fantastic food and all of the best anecdotes!  We can set up anywhere, inside or outside of your home, or you guests can grab it directly from the truck. The sky is literally the limit, so bring us your ideas, there’s nothing we’d love more than making it a reality!

Give us a call at 407-890-7066 and ask us about all of the different options we can explore for your next shindig anywhere in the Central Florida area. Whatever you can dream up, we can make a reality, with our local network of chefs and trucks available, (Including a Mobile DJ Truck) we can collaborate to create the party everyone will be talking about for years to come.

Are you not in the greater Orlando area?  It just so happens we have a sister company in Tampa! Give Tampa Bay Food Trucks a call for your next home catering!

Introducing the Poutine Truck to Central Florida!

Central Florida, look out! Today we’re introducing you to one of our incredible local food trucks in our Orlando Food Truck Catering family, The Poutine Truck!  

Owners Shaun Lacroix, and his wife Sherron Coletti, after braving all the snowy winters in the great white north, they always dreamed about owning a food truck somewhere down south.  Sherron on sharing their dream, “the dream was mostly for our retirement years, but it’s a good thing we didn’t wait, it’s a lot of work!”

After some family transitions, Shaun and Sherron decided to bring their plans forward by a few decades.  With their family by their sides, they embarked on a journey to Florida!  After getting set up, they decided to make it a family affair!  Shaun handles all mechanical and equipment as well as manning the kitchen as a fantastic chef. Even Sherron’s Mom helping with prep and bookkeeping!

Central Florida has so many incredible food trucks, but none of them do specifically poutine (pronounced poo-teen) until Sherron and Shaun arrived! Poutine is a Canadian delicacy that is fresh French Fries, curd cheese and topped with brown gravy.  Disco fries from New England are very similar if you’re familiar! Everything is made fresh daily. The gravy, French fries, and even the cheese is shipped in weekly and has a small shelf life to make sure that plate is a wonderful little gift that every guest gets to enjoy.  They are always staying on top of the game with new and innovative ideas for poutine and will have a rotating poutine weekly.

“We are huge foodies and lovers of Pinterest, which keeps the ideas flowing. We are excited to be open for business and it’s really giving us a chance to get to know the Central Florida area and meet new people.”

Interested in booking a food truck like The Poutine Truck at your next private event? Call us today at 407-890-7066 to hear our many options and how we can assist in making your event a success!

Wedding Catering With A Food Truck

The food that is served on your big day is such an intricate part of your celebration, that some say it could make or break the whole thing!  We’ve already talked about how you can have fantastic food set up at any location, for cocktail hour, dinner or dessert, or even brunch the following morning for your close family and friends the next morning, let Orlando Food Truck Catering handle it all for you!

Let’s talk about the logistics of having one a fabulous food truck (or trucks) at your Central Florida wedding.  Like any kind of wedding planning, the sooner you contact us with your date, the more options you have for securing your first choice truck(s) and you can start planning the perfect menu for your day.  At least six months out is ideal, as that leaves plenty of time to finalize the details of the contract, place the deposit and make sure all of the ducks are in a row.  We can certainly move faster, but, the further out we are contacted, the more likely we’ll be able to dazzle you with every detail playing out exactly as you dreamed.

Next, we’ll start working on the logistics of the evening.  Timing at a wedding is everything, especially in Central Florida, so we make it our duty to assure that the truck is arrived and set up in a manner so that it’s ready when you and your guests are and your meal is served promptly.  We understand that there’s a very important timeline that coordinates with set up and prep for the food truck.  Depending upon the time of service and they style of food, they will arrive at least two hours before the time of service to make sure nothing is interrupted, and your celebration has hot wonderful dishes that compliment your fantastic day.

The other variable that dictates set up time is the style of service that you and your partner choose.  Window service from the truck will obviously take less time than setting up than something that is served buffet style (whether it be inside or outside).  No matter any of the choices you make in your celebration, Orlando Food Truck Catering can ensure that everything about your food service is timely and fantastic for your celebration!

Depending on the size of the wedding, we may need one truck to complete service, but for larger weddings we’ve had as many as five trucks (wedding of 400). So while doing your planning, wipe the sweat from your brow and say, “I’m glad my guest count is ‘X’…. as long as it’s less than 400” :).

Call us today at 407-890-7066 to schedule a food truck for your wedding. If needed, please feel free to also enquire about our Mobile DJ Truck that can also suit your needs.
