Gourmet Catering • San Diego, CA

Artisanal Fire. Unforgettable Taste.

Specializing in open-fire grilling, premium smoked meats, and curated event spreads for any occasion.

Founded 2020

Born From Passion,
Perfected by Smoke.

In early 2020, as the world slowed down, our oven heated up. Missing the rich, smoky flavors of our European childhoods, we began experimenting with a backyard smoker. Wood, fire, time, and patience—what started as a nostalgic hobby soon captivated our neighbors.

By popular demand, Smoked and Tasty transitioned from a community secret into a full-scale culinary operation. After opening and successfully running a storefront, we realized our true calling lied beyond four walls.

Today, we dedicate ourselves entirely to what we do best: creating handcrafted, eye-catching catering spreads. Whether it's an intimate gathering or a grand wedding, we bring a personal touch, scratch-made ingredients, and the unmistakable essence of open-fire cooking to your table.
