The Must-Try BBQ Catering Trends in Toronto for 2024
Warm weather has finally arrived in the Greater Toronto Area which marks the beginning of barbecue season. When the sun is out, Ontarians are often eager to spend as much time enjoying the outdoors as possible, and what better way to do that than with BBQ catering in Toronto. As one of the most recognized and trusted caterers in Toronto, Smokin’ Bones is the go-to choice for those looking to host BBQ themed events. While our highly skilled staff offers everything from sandwiches to turkey dinner catering, now is the time to embrace the juicy and delectable delights of barbecue.
If you’re planning an event this summer, here are some must-try BBQ catering trends that you can implement.
Grazing Tables
Grazing tables are becoming increasingly popular at events of all sizes as an alternative to passed hors d'oeuvres or buffet style appetizers. Grazing tables are perfect for party catering and BBQ events because they offer a casual and accessible yet sophisticated way for guests to visualize the food options and choose their meals. Typically served on long tables, grazing tables beautifully arranged with an assortment of meats, cheeses, fruits, bread, and dips, all themed around the rich, smoky flavors of BBQ catering. This setup not only serves as a stunning centerpiece but also encourages guests to mix, match, and try new flavors together, making the dining experience interactive and fun.
Themed Drinks
For personal celebrations and even many corporate events, signature drinks are a growing trend. Because BBQ catering typically happens outdoors when the sun is beating, attendants often appreciate a good drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic to cool down. Working with our team of experienced caterers in Toronto, you can choose drink options that compliment your menu selections for a cohesive dining experience that will leave guests impressed. Smokin’ Bones can help you curate a drink menu that perfectly matches the barbecue theme of your event.
Social-Media Specials
Now, more than ever, making your event Instagram-worthy is almost as important as the food itself. Smokin’ Bones understands the power of social media and offers unique, photo-friendly catering options that are sure to get your event trending. From beautifully presented individual mini barbecue platters to creatively plated desserts with a barbecue twist, these social-media specials are designed not only to taste incredible but also to look stunning in photos. Encourage your guests to share their experiences online, and watch as your event gains buzz and excitement through the power of social media.
Live On-Site Barbecuing
Live cooking that adds an unbeatable atmosphere to any event. Smokin’ Bones offers real-time on-site barbecuing, where our skilled chefs grill meats and other food to perfection right before your guests' eyes. This not only ensures the food is as fresh as possible but also provides a captivating show that guests will love. The aroma of barbecuing meat fills the air, enhancing the overall experience and making your event unforgettable. Live barbecuing also allows for a customizable experience, where guests can choose their preferred level of doneness and select from a variety of sauces and sides.
