Randy Bryan
Owner
I began my culinary career over 10 years ago catering events for The Southwestern Cattle Raisers Assoc. which lead me to catering other events such as weddings, retirement parties, birthday parties, company employee appreciations. I also custom smoke meats for individuals for their special events such as family reunions, and Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I found a love of food during this journey and it inspired me to graduate with top honors through The Escoffier School of Culinary Arts.

s conscientious about our guests with dietary restrictions. It was clear he had the experience to handle any scale and would be prepared for any contingency.
What really stood out to us though in working with Randy was his kindness and his humor. He took everything in stride and was able to create a beautiful and delicious menu within our budget and timeframe.
I would hands down recommend Randy's service for any event and especially for any nearliweds who want a confident, hassle free, trustworthy experience!

Chicken & Brisket Brioche Sliders
Cucumber & Smoked Salmon Bites
Asparagus wrapped in Prosciutto with a lemon drizzle

I met Randy in 2021, and since that time he has catered 20+ events for my company across Texas. The food he cooks is always top notch and we hear nothing but compliments, and that'...
s only part of what sets Bryan's Custom Cooking & Catering apart from other catering companies.
We've had nothing but positive experiences with Randy and his team. They are always ahead of schedule when it comes to planning, and they listen to our team to work with us for our specific needs for each event. On the day of the event, they're always on time, have a professional work ethic, and are friendly and accommodating to any last-minute needs. On top of that, he's very fair when it comes to pricing.
I've planned enough events to know that working with someone who does what they say they're going to do, is trustworthy and honest, and you can count on - isn't something you find every day. Randy and his team go above and beyond and are a pleasure to work with.

We also had fettucine alfredo & Beef Tenderloin by the end of the night all the food was gone because of how amazing it was. Not only was this the best caterer I had a tasting with but it was also the most reasonably priced. The connections he has with Texas Farmers means you get high quality fresh ingredients. Seriously do not pass him up I spoke with 25 different caterers got quotes from 10 did a tasting with 5 and we held of on our decision till we could do a tasting with Randy and it was the best choice we made for our wedding.
