Strong Catering

Strong Catering Catering for large & small events. I’ve served food in beautiful wedding venues & barns in the middle of nowhere. My name is Dale Strong.

From roasted pork loin & hashbrown casserole to a low country boil or upscale hors d’oeuvres. I’ve spent half my life in the restaurant business… dishwasher, prep and line cook, kitchen manager and now general manager. I realized years ago that I enjoyed cooking and serving outside the restaurant even more. I love cooking my own food and serving it in different environments to different people and

watching those smiling faces come back for seconds. From taco bars to Italian cuisine, from weddings to business or school functions and anything in between.

Thank you again to the folks in the Clay County school system for allowing us to cook lunch for them.
We did smoked pork loin, grilled chicken, hashbrown casserole, green beans, pasta salad and we even did desserts this year.
This was a ton of work but it’s always fun and it’s always a pleasure to see these people, most of which I only get to see once a year.

We made a heck of a meal Wednesday night for a wedding rehearsal. Six courses in all. Some of the things were a first for us and they turned out great.
Stuffed mushrooms, filet sliders, my take on shrimp cocktail… Shrimp and grits… Caesar and Mediterranean salads… Brisket, blackened salmon, stuffed chicken breast…
Fresh green beans, garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed corn with onion and peppers.
That was a mouthful :)

We catered a wedding recently at The Millstone in Limestone, TN. Smoked pork butt, grilled chicken, pasta salad, Mac n cheese, green beans and a salad. It was a bit of a drive but everything worked out perfectly. Congrats to Gavin and Mackenzie.

‼️TONIGHT‼️

Come join us and catch Dam That River as they take the stage at 37 Cedar for the first time!

Dam That River is a local hard rock cover band from the Upper Cumberland. Their name is taken from an Alice in Chains song, as they are also a partial tribute band to their older material; however, they also do lots of other related hard rock covers from 90s and 2000s. Bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Metallica, Godsmack, Deftones, Foo Fighters, and such are what they are all about!

We’ll be serving up hand-crafted cocktails, mocktails, and all the cold beer from both bars and our Kitchen will be preparing delicious made-from-sratch meals until midnight.
37 Cedar is THE place to be on Saturday Nights! The show starts at 9pm, but the party starts when you get here!

We’ll see you on the !

We cooked lunch for some of my favorite people on Thursday… Teacher’s in-service day in Clay County. They’ve been kind enough to ask me to return year after year to cook for their staff of 200. It’s always special for me considering the amount of family and friends I have there.
