was delicious. The chorizo mac and smoked turkey were especially awesome. His wife’s potato salad was also super delicious, coming from someone who typically doesn’t prefer potato salad. Pudge makes great conversation and was a pleasure to hang out with. We will 100% be having Diamond 9 Co. cater our wedding!

hed out and he was so easy to work with! When I said what I needed he was completely able to do that without going over my budget. Where as other caterers, only had specific packages that I did not need. Not to mention how amazing the food was, and there was so much left over for family and friends to take!
I found Diamond 9 on The Knot while searching for catering options for our baby shower.
We got Brisket, pulled pork, corn bread, beans, jalapeño coleslaw, potato salad.
I asked...
for it to be for 30 adults and we had plenty left over when the party was done.
The sides were exceptional and the meat was cooked perfect.
I would highly recommend

ure to this one. Pudge and his wife were so on it. They took care of everything with no fuss and the presentation was perfect. I was quoted so much higher by other caterers who would've provided so much less. Can't recommend them enough. So easy and enjoyable to communicate with as well!
