The Backstory

It all started in 2010, when Jason McAllister set out to take his passion for food to the streets of San Diego.

His goal? To share delicious, locally sourced fresh cuisine and bring an exciting new catering experience to the community.

Teaming up with Executive Chef Antonio Friscia, known for his mastery in both Italian and Asian-inspired cuisine, the two set out to create a menu that not only reflected San Diego’s vibrant food culture but also honored fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Chef Antonio, with over 30 years of experience and a diverse background in restaurant development, helped craft a unique culinary experience that fused flavors from different cultures. Together, they developed a rotating, farm-to-table menu designed to bring a memorable dining experience to every event.

With a strong background in banquet services, Jason and Antonio have catered events for thousands of guests. Their experience ensures exceptional service and memorable dining experiences for all occasions—from weddings and corporate events to memorials and celebrations throughout San Diego and Southern California.
