s. They worked with me from start to finish creating the perfect menu for our event. The day of the event, Chef Megan and her team provided both delicious food and amazing service. Everything was prepared fresh and tasted great. The guests could not stop raving about the exceptional quality of food and service. The charcuterie board was a work of art! At the end of the event, they packed everything up for us and checked in to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend choosing them for any event that you have planned in the future.

Jude Villafana

Owner

I am originally from Minneapolis, MN and that is where my love of food started. When I entered college I spent my first two summers delivering pizzas and loved the fact that the more I hustled, the more money I made. After college, I worked in numerous restaurants in many different roles, such as, as kitchen manager, general manager, owner, etc. In 2015, I was recruited to help Popoli Restaurant in Cedar Rapids. I spent 5 successful years at Popoli and created Catering for them. We bought the catering side of Popoli and opened Peppercorn Food Company, which started in December 2020.
