Shindigs Catering’s motto from the get-go was, “Local food fast.” Chef Mac Russell and his team work with local suppliers throughout the Birmingham, AL area. Purveyors like Hollow Springs, Terra Preta, and Fudge Family Farm provide the produce while Rabbit Hill Farms and Fiddlehead Farms provide the meat. Combine ingredients harvested at the pinnacle of ripeness with Chef Mac’s impressive resume, and the result is nutritious food packed with a rich, powerful flavor. Chef Mac whips up tons of classic meals, using a bounty of herbs, spices, and sauces to add an unmatched bold taste. You can sample burgers made from grass-fed beef smothered in gourmet ingredients like fig mostarda and truffle yogurt. Seafood fan? Go for a plate of salmon seasoned up with grilled onions and avocado. There are even meat-free choices, like vegan spaghetti and meatballs served with a sweet and savory artichoke-blood orange tapenade. Suffice to say, this is a caterer sure to make guests feel pampered. So, book with Shindigs Catering for your next event. Not only will the food be impressive, you’ll be supporting local farms.
