Fuget About It Catering

Jerry outdid himself again. He catered my fathers 90^th Birthday for 200+ and did an incredible job. Meatballs and cheese and cracker platters for appetizers. Chicken Marsala with basmati rice, roasted veggies and a blue cheese crumble salad. Everything was full of flavor and piping hot. The servers were courteous and friendly.

Our non-​profit organization recently hired Jerry to cook and serve dinner for a big fundraiser dinner in Walnut Creek. Jerry proved to be very reliable, professional and fun to work with. He provided a fantastic BBQ chicken dinner with pasta, green beans with panchetta, a great spring salad mix, dinner rolls and also provided the best tasting meatball appetizers to go with it. Our dinner event became very popular at the last minute and Jerry was able to accommodate 100 more people on short notice and with the same attention to detail. He provided a seamless dinner event where not only was everyone’s food hot and delicious, the portions were generous. I was very relieved to have an experienced chef like Jerry in charge as 220 people would be a little overwhelming, but he handled it like a pro! Jerry goes the extra mile and is also just a nice person to work with. I highly recommend Fuget About It Catering.

Jerry catered my 60^th Birthday Bash. Very impressive. He built a kitchen in my side yard to cook fresh on the spot. The food was excellent. Guest gobbled up the appetizers– bacon wrapped scallops, chicken pesto sliders, Caesar salad on a lettuce wedge and spicy prawns. His bartenders were professional (Mike was having so much fun that he continued to serve us until 1:00 am. Jerry had told him his shift was finished at 11:00 pm). The smoked chicken, ribs, tri-​tip and grilled vegetables were done to perfection. Give Jerry a call and do what we did, «Fuget about it».

I was fortunate enough as to attend 2 events catered by Jerry Carpenello, a high school graduation and a Christmas party. Great variety and great quality. He doesn’t just make authentic Italian food, he is great with Mexican, classic American dishes such as wonderful tri-​tip. His most remarkably Italian trait is that he puts quality ahead of profit, passion ahead of business. From what I hear the whole service is very affordable too!

Jerry has catered many of the high school crab feeds I have attended over the years and the crab, pasta, salad and tri tip has always been fantastic. This time he catered for my best friends son’s high school graduation party. He did a classic taco bar complete with rice and beans. The flavor of the chicken and steak were superb. Just the right amount of spice. And if you wanted it hotter, he provided finely chopped jalapeños that my husband loved. The cotija cheese he used was much better than the standard Shredded Jack and cheddar. Homemade chips and salsa were delicious. You couldn’t eat just one. Everything was prepared and served on time and there was no waste. I highly recommend!!!

Jerry catered my daughter’s 16^th birthday. Menu included meatballs with sweet and savory barbeque sauce, calamari with bell pepper aioli, caesar salad, tri-​tip with dry rub, penne alla vodka, brussel sprouts. While everything was delicious, the calamari and penne alla vodka were huge hits! Jerry is a full-​service caterer from set-​up up to clean up, he did it all with hiccup. He provides a Nordstrom experience for catering!

I met Jerry at my nephew’s high school grad party and was impressed so I called him to do my son’s college grad party for 60 – 70 last year.
He did a great job so we called him for my second son’s college grad party for 70 last month. This time we had a very special beef menu and half of the party was at a world class steak house the night before so I was a little concerned that it was going to be a tough act to follow. Jerry delivered like a pro. Got lots of compliments from everyone. Don’t miss out on his grilled prawns. Also, the young adults that he brought along to help out and bar tend were tops. Nice and easy going guy to work with.

Jerry caters a weekly breakfast meeting that I organize. Before we found fuget about it our breakfasts were in a word sad. Wilted fruit Safeway bought yogurt and a box of meh pastries.
When I started running the meetings I decided it was time for a change. Jerry and Fuget About It came recommended so I gave it a whirl. Best decision I ever made…
Not only do we get different breakfasts bug they are FRESH ingredients and delicious. Belgian Waffles, Bomb Ass Breakfast Burritos, plus fresh fruit and donuts and the best part is by hiring FugetAbout it we SAVED money.
I have him doing BBQ at my birthday party (he has a mobile smoker) and will update my review to let too know how the BBQ is,.if it’s anything like breakfast I am
