Heritage Flame Catering

Where fire transforms food into unforgettable experiences

About Heritage Flame

At Heritage Flame Catering, we honor the deep roots that connect food to place. Our story begins in the soil — rich earth carefully tended through generations of farming families who understand that true flavor comes from respecting the land's legacy. These fields and pastures hold memories and traditions passed down through calloused hands that have worked the same plots for decades.

Our ingredients tell stories of their own. Heirloom vegetables grown from seeds saved season after season. Heritage breed livestock raised with care by ranchers who can recall their grandparents doing the same work on the same land. Each crop and animal represents a living connection to agricultural traditions that might otherwise be forgotten in our fast-paced world.

The people behind Heritage Flame are keepers of knowledge — farmers who read the seasons, ranchers who understand their animals, and cooks who transform these gifts through fire. Many learned their craft standing beside parents and grandparents, absorbing wisdom that textbooks can't teach. Our team brings together diverse culinary backgrounds while sharing a common reverence for the sources of our food.

When these carefully cultivated ingredients meet flame, magic happens. Our cooking technique centers around the primal element of fire, with wood-burning hearths that transform raw ingredients into something transcendent. We select specific hardwoods for their distinctive characteristics — applewood's sweet subtlety, oak's robust intensity, hickory's rich smokiness — each imparting unique notes to the food.

Our chefs build and tend these fires with the same care farmers show their fields, understanding that controlling heat and smoke requires both science and intuition. Vegetables roast directly in embers, meats hang above slowly smoldering logs, and breads bake in wood-fired ovens whose bricks hold centuries of heat-memory.

Our Mission

Our mission is to preserve culinary traditions while embracing innovation in service and delivery. We believe that everyone deserves access to wholesome, flavorful meals that nourish both body and soul.

Heritage Flame Catering doesn't just serve meals — we offer a genuine connection to place, tradition, and the transformative power of cooking with fire.

Equipment & Approach

We believe that fire is the best way to cook food. Whenever possible, we love to bring the fire directly to your event.
The Pit

The Pit

Ancient wisdom meets modern mastery as smoke swirls through this above-ground barbacoa pit, transforming humble ingredients into tender, earth-scented feasts that whisper stories of generations past. Cooked in clay pots that let you taste the flavors of the earth and nature.

The Smoker

The Smoker

This gentle giant cradles meat in a dance of oak-scented time, where patience becomes flavor and waiting becomes an art form.

The Hanger

The Hanger

Suspended between earth and sky, food dangles in this metal cage like precious treasure, bathed in the upward-reaching flames that kiss and caress with primitive elegance.

The Oven

The Oven

Standing tall and radiating ancient power, this wood-fired sentinel transforms raw ingredients into crusty perfection as flames lick the hanging rack's precious cargo.

The Bricks

The Bricks

From humble cinder blocks rises a testament to human ingenuity — a customizable altar of fire where grates hold offerings to the primal gods of flame and smoke.

The Bar

The Bar

Once carrying majestic beasts across open country, this transformed horse trailer now cradles spirits of another kind, rolling into gatherings as a gleaming oasis of craft cocktails and unforgettable memories.
