Q Craft

I called on Q Craft for a wine club event after meeting Brannon (owner) in Sonoma.
During planning, Brannon was very accessible, insightful and helpful to help craft and cater his product for our event. He was very flexible and quick to create a menu based on my requests, and totally respected (and nailed) the pairing of his menu items alongside our wines.
The event itself couldn’t have gone smoother, and our guests couldn’t get over how good the eats were.
Menu:
Goat Cheese with herbs
Local Produce Salad
Baby Back Ribs and Chicken thighs
Mac n cheese with cracklin’
Homeade BBQ Sauce
I’ve also enjoyed his brisket. For three consecutive meals. Yum.

My wife and I recently got married in Sonoma, CA and used Q-​Craft (Brannon) as our caterer. I am Texan and my wife is Korean, so for our Wedding, we really wanted the food served to include BBQ, traditional BBQ sides, Korean side dishes, and for everything to be down-​home and casual, yet delicious.
Brannon worked with us throughout our planning process to bring our very unique vision to light. The best thing about him was that he was the only caterer we found willing to think outside the box and give us everything that we wanted as part of our special day; AND his food was delicious! Our Wedding was amazing, and my wife still craves Brannon’s Strawberry Shortcake that he served for dessert.
Thank you Brannon and Q-​Craft!

The BEST BBQ I have had in a long time. Just the right amount of smoke. .meat so tender. and not smothered with sauce. so dern good! I am from Texas… and not easily impressed with bbq other then from City Market in Luling.TX. This was superb! Will definitely use for next party.

I am very fortunate to work for a company that has hired Chef Brannon and his amazing BBQ talents and equally awe-​inspiring smoker-​trailer a couple of times. The brisket is smokey and flavorful but still tender and juicy. His wings make you forget about anything with «Buffalo» in the title, but the best, by far are the ribs! Not only are the ribs falling-​off-​the-​bone perfect, but his real secret weapon is the Vietnamese caramel sauce– a true fusion of American traditional barbecue and the exotic flavors of South East Asia! To any who may think that sounds strange or blasphemous, let me tell you, the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet mixed with fresh cilantro and herb flavors and provides the most amazing glaze to his ribs and wings– a million times better than a honey based sauce or glaze. I have heard multiple people ask him if he had any plans to jar this sauce so they could enjoy it at home or simply by the spoonful.
Of course, if the flavor orgasm in your mouth wasn’t enough to make you forget all that is wrong in the world, prepare to be blown away by the physical smoker itself from whence Chef Brannon crafts his «q». The size of a boat, it is a fully equipped portable kitchen on a trailer with a double-​door smoker that would make professionals in St. Louis, North Carolina, and Texas cry.. . or at least I would like to picture some people from Texas crying (no offense if you’re Texan, but the rest of y’all know what I mean). The chef is as knowledgable as he is talented too, so be prepared to learn some things if you’re interested in what he has to say.
So, if you have a chance to hire Q Craft for an event or have some of this food at a festival, DO IT!

Living in the heart of the Wine Country comes with constant exposure to decedent flavors, culinary creativity and obviously beautiful wine. Fifteen years in the event industry, make these pleasures sometimes feel like just another day at the office. Not that I ever take for granted a delicious meal or a perfect wine pairing, but it truly takes something spectacular to really blow my mind.
I have recently been working with an incredible chef and a true MASTER of his craft! Brannon, owner and Chef of Q-​Craft, not only delivers exciting flavors smoked to perfection, but his unique take on some of my favorite classics, give new life to comfort food. His sauces are like nothing I have ever tasted! Brannon’s originality leaves a lasting impression on the palette and you will find yourself begging for more.
Q-​Craft most recently customized a cabernet sauvignon barbeque sauce for an upscale event that I planned at a winery. The depth of his flavor portfolio, made it easy for the winery’s Sommelier to pair multiple wines with the meal– from a crisp white to classic Bordeaux varietals– a truly perfect culinary masterpiece was created.
Culinary talents aside, Q-​Craft is as dependable and professional company, who has quickly become one of my go-​to chef’s for weddings, corporate functions and celebrations of all kinds. I look forward to Q-​Craft impressing my clients at our next event together. Congratulations Brannon for taking the Wine Country by storm!

I ran into Q Craft at Taste of Sonoma in Healdsburg. They were serving Smoked pork belly with Vietnamese caramel sauce!!! The only thing hotter than the weather that day was the staff at Q Craft, ME-​OW.

I’ve had my second experience with Q Craft and Brannon’s barbecue at the Huichica festival in Sonoma. Amazing! Not only is the cracklin’ mac and cheese to die for, but the amazing meats (either pork, ribs or chicken, because yes, I’ve had all three), are cooked perfectly from their smoker and melts in your mouth. I’m not sure what is in the crazy vietnamese caramel sauce you can get on the side, but you have to try it!
The sausage/​bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers are also a MUST have. He’s got the coolest smoker, the coolest brand, and the food is second to none. Definitely give this guy a try for your next event! Keep up the good work!

Dizamn! That’s some gooood eats! Q Craft has catered several winery events that I’ve attended and has knocked it out of the park every time. Their smoker is pretty badass – the proof is in the smoke rings in their meat. They got the food out quickly (on-​site caterers can be notorious for slow production and long lines) and the presentation was great. Quality was consistent at all 3 events and the side dishes held their own for creativity and flavor. I would definitely recommend retaining the crew at Q Craft for your next event!

Brannon is a culinary-​trained chef who has a natural talent for creating the most flavorful BBQ — his meat is slow-​cooked to perfection and melts in your mouth. He is very creative with interesting and unique side dishes that you won’t find anywhere else. His bacon-​wrapped Jalapeño poppers are out of this world — just enough heat!

Fantastic, creative and delicious! The smoker is awesome! I would highly recommend Q Craft for your next party!

QCraft is top notch for a great event-​large or small.
The BBQ can’t be beat and the sides were wonderful!
I would have them at any party.
