Columbus-based, women-owned, 25-year-old catering company that serves up wholehearted hospitality!
Two Caterers Contemporary Cuisine is more than a catering company. Of course, we work to have a successful business, but we want more than that. We strive to be a positive force in the charitable community, to support the local foods movement by sourcing product from nearby farms, to actively participate in educational programs and to lead by example with positive environmental practices. We are proud of our staff's talent and commitment to education & knowledge.

Join a catering company where values lead the way—and opportunities follow!
If you're a passionate professional who leads with a true hospitality heart, Together & Company might be a great fit for you.
We're currently hiring for the following positions:
👉 Special Events Sales Partner
👉 Executive Chef
👉 Culinary Lead
👉 Event Manager at The Fives Columbus
To wrap up our celebration of Women's History Month, we're highlighting two of our all-star Events Team members: Tammy Bartholomew and Peggy Gargano!
It's women like Tammy and Peggy who make Team TC what it is; they are both leaders in our signature wholehearted hospitality as well as FUN!
Since they have both been such champions of our values for over 10 years, we asked them to share more about their experience working with us and give some advice to women who are new to the field. Here's a look into their interview:
TC: What is your favorite TC value and how do you bring it to life, even on the busiest event days?
PG: I love "having fun while doing it"! I enjoy being part of the celebrating, wherever we are hired to work! I love my job.
TB: I really resonate with the value "Do What It Takes" – It gives us the ability to think on our feet, pivot and make something special happen. We get to do what it takes to have a successful event while knowing we are backed up by the company for our decisions to make it happen.
From all of us at Team TC, thank you for following along with us this Women's History Month!

To continue our celebration of Women's History Month, we're featuring our Director of Operations, Bri Barnhart, and our Garde Manger (or "cold side" Sous Chef), Shayla Ferguson, two long-time team members of Together & Company!
These two have been with us for over 10 years, and have grown into influential leaders in their time with Team TC. When we asked "how did you get here?" here's what they shared with us:
TC: You both started as back of house, and now you lead teams —what advice would you give to women who want to follow in your footsteps?
SF: Some advice I would give to women wanting to follow in my footsteps is firstly, find a company that's aligned with your values. It's much easier to thrive in an environment where you feel a sense of pride. Secondly, never stop learning. The industry and the world is ever-changing and those who refuse to grow get left behind. Lastly, empower and nurture your team. Know their strengths and weaknesses, trust them enough to delegate and lead by example. You're only as successful as your weakest link.
BB: Don’t be afraid!—For whatever that means for you! Don’t be afraid to speak up and throw out your ideas and thoughts; Don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone and take on a challenge; Don’t be afraid to step into a different role and try something new; Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself and fight for what you deserve or what is right for you.
This month marks our 28th anniversary! As a woman-owned business, it's always a treat that we get to celebrate our anniversary during Women's History Month.
To celebrate both, we sat down with several women in our company who have made an impact on who we are today and asked them to share some of their words of wisdom.
First up, our Founder, Angela Petro, and President, Carly Buzby! Here's a look at our conversation with them:
TC: What legacy do you hope to leave for future women entrepreneurs/leaders?
AP: Carly is a better leader at her age than I was at mine in some ways because I invested in her journey. And she has developed younger women that understand at a high level what empowered leadership looks like at a younger age than she did. If I leave women better through experience sharing, connecting, and having those direct, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations, then I will feel that I lived in alignment with my values and purpose.
CB: I want women to recognize their power and the impact they can make on their people. You will make mistakes along the way, but as long as you lead with compassion, clarity, and directness you’ll stay on the right path. I want future women leaders to know they are supported and that they have a strong network ready to help them succeed, me being one of them!
We'll be updating it over the rest of the month with more conversations, so stay tuned!

A reception dinner at Columbus Museum of Art – the dream!
Next weekend Together & Company will be serving our food at the Columbus Museum of Art's 2025 Wedding Show, and it's making us reminisce about Elizabeth & Paul's stunning reception dinner in 2021! They had their reception dinner catered by us in the gorgeous museum atrium, decorated with lush, hanging greenery and clusters of romantic lighting.
Inspired by food, love, and a Chihuly glass sculpture – weddings at Columbus Museum of Art are masterpieces of celebration.
Swipe through to see bits of history we learned throughout Black History Month about Black Americans’ influence on a few staple dishes and ingredients in American cuisine – some of which are favorites on the Together & Company and Sweet Carrot menus!
