Super Bowl party hibachi catering

Feed everyone before kickoff, not during it

The problem with game day food is that it is all timed wrong. Trays go out at 5 and are cold by 6:30, delivery lands mid-first-quarter, and the host misses the opening drive. A hibachi chef arrives about 90 minutes before kickoff, cooks the group in courses so plates keep coming while people are still arriving, and is broken down and gone before the anthem. The host watches the game. That is the entire pitch, and it is the reason Super Bowl Sunday is one of our busiest single days in February.

A grill on the driveway in February works fine

Northeast hosts ask this every year: the grill throws serious heat and the chef works outside in cold weather without a problem. Your guests eat inside. An open garage with the door up is the single most popular February setup we do — the chef gets ventilation, the guests get shelter, and the show is still three feet away. A driveway, deck or patio works too, and indoors under a range hood is always an option.

What lands better than wings

Two proteins per guest from steak, chicken, shrimp, salmon and tofu, cooked to order, with hibachi fried rice, vegetables, salad and the house sauces on every plate. Filet mignon and scallops are premium upgrades. It travels the length of a party better than anything fried, because nothing is sitting under a lamp — the chef is cooking the next round while the current one is being eaten. Drinks are yours to supply; we do not bring or serve alcohol.

Twenty to forty people is normal for this one

Super Bowl parties skew bigger than the rest of our calendar. One chef and one grill handles up to about 25 guests; past that we send a second chef and a second grill so the last plate does not land in the third quarter. Adults are $55, children $30, $550 event minimum, flat $50 travel for the first 50 miles with tolls included. Call (484) 978-8774 with a headcount and a kickoff time and we will work backwards from it.

How Super Bowl works, start to finish

The hibachi show — onion volcano, flaming stack, shrimp toss, spatula drums — is included, never an upsell. Hibachi at home is the version where nobody drives, nobody waits for a table and nobody watches a clock. You are booking a private hibachi chef for the evening rather than ordering a delivery. A backyard hibachi setup needs a level area roughly 10 by 10 feet with open air above the grill. This is mobile hibachi catering: the grill, the propane and the food all come on the truck. An in-home hibachi setup under a proper range hood is the fallback whenever the weather is against you. The hibachi grill is a professional flat-top, not a backyard barbecue. A hibachi party is a meal and a performance inside the same 90 minutes. A hibachi dinner runs about 90 minutes from the chef arriving to a clean station.
