This is the time of the year for new beginnings. Warmer temperatures, green trees, and blooming flowers make way for marching across stages and diplomas changing hands when spring ushers in graduation season. Whether it’s high school or college, Tigers or Jags, this momentous occasion is a reason for celebration. With family and friends gathering for festivities, one of the most memorable events will be that first meal as a graduate. 

Between event catering with all of the trimmings and tailgate packages that can feed a smaller group, BRQ’s catering options have you and your guests covered. With fresh, local, farm to table ingredients and chef-driven menu options; this will be a meal, and a day you’ll never forget.

Catering Options for Your Graduation Celebration

Everything from appetizers to sides to desserts can be ordered and arranged for your party. If you’re hosting the celebration at your home or a venue, delivery is an option as well. Let’s take a closer look at what can go from our kitchen to your table.

Appetizers

For starters, you can choose between a quart of smoked queso, a dozen boudin balls, a quart of B & B pickles, and a half a pan of BRQ’s housemade potato chips. Depending on the size of your party, any combination and additional quantities of these appetizers can be made.

Salads

On the greener side, you can select from a full pan of BRQ’s house salad, a ½ pan of Cobb salad with smoked chicken, a ½ pan of smoked corn and black bean salad, or a ½ pan of Brussels and kale salad.

Sides

To complement the entrees BRQ pit beans, mac and cheese, potato salad, cole slaw, and poblano cheddar cornbread are available by the ½ pan.

Entrees

Your main course can consist of any combination of 1 pound of prime brisket, pulled chicken, and pulled pork. You can also choose between a full slab of St. Louis ribs, baby back ribs, or a 3.5 lb. whole chicken.

Desserts

To round it out carrot cake, chocolate cake, and bread pudding make for the perfect finishing touch.

If you don’t feel like mixing and matching, BRQ also has packages that make the ordering easy.

The Smokehouse

Designed to feed 8-10 people you have your option of 2 sides (BRQ pit beans, mac and cheese, potato salad, cole slaw). 2 meats (pulled chicken or pulled pork). 2 sauces (North Carolina vinegar, original mild BBQ, spicy BBQ, and South Carolina mustard). And, every package includes poblano cheddar cornbread, BRQ potato chips, B & B pickles, and plates and utensils.

The Pit Boss

The Pit Boss is similar to the Smokehouse; the only exception is that features three meat options, with the addition of sliced prime brisket.

The Big Q 

The Big Q lets you choose two of three meat options, St. Louis or baby back ribs, pulled chicken, or pulled pork. The rest of this package is the same as mentioned above.

So this spring, enjoy the pomp and circumstance of graduation, then enjoy a meal with your friends, family and new accomplishments from BRQ.
