Fire Roasted Catering Pig Roast for Weddings and Events!
Calling all foodies and grilling aficionados in the Northeast…you need to check out the Berkshire’s Fire Roasted Catering! True to their name, Fire Roasted Catering from Great Barrington MA, roasts pretty much everything from garlic scapes to cornbread to a pig roast over a massive wood fire they set up on site for weddings and parties. Started in 2004 by Chef Jeremy Stanton, Fire Roasted is a distinctly different catering company…roots grilling you might say. They’re creative cooks, using multi-tiered grills, hand-turned spits, and a chicken rotisserie that seems inspired by a Oktoberfest carnival ride! At your event, the chef and team don’t hide off in a corner–they’re part of the festivities, very open to having guests mingle and check out what’s cooking.
Committed to the locavore movement, Fire Roasted’s pigs and other meat come from farms in the Berkshires, Litchfield County CT and NY state. They offer lots more than roasted meat, with all manner of veggies, breads and charcuterie available. Jeremy also runs The Meat Market butcher shop and lunch venue in Great Barrington which offers classes on sausage making, knife work etc….you can see their class schedule here. Fire Roasted Catering has been featured in a bunch of magazines including Food & Wine, Saveur, and the Summer / Spring issue of Town & Country magazine. They’re a perfect choice to cater your tented wedding, rehearsal dinner or backyard party…stop by online or in person at The Meat Market and Fire Roasted Catering at 389 Stockbridge Road, Great Barrington MA.

Dark and Lovely: Advertorial for L’Oreal in October 2012 Essence
Great shooting Jayda, Ashley and C. Devone at the L’Oreal Tech Center on 5th Avenue in August for Dark and Lovely, L’Oreal’s black women’s hair line of relaxers, colorants and more. Dark and Lovely celebrated their 40th anniversary in October and did a special advertorial page published in Essence and used their images for their website. The three women aren’t models but they were so professional, fun and easy to work with you’d never know! Jayda is an amazing stylist…see her website here! Ashley is an up and coming actress and C. Devone is a professional DJ. Also great working with Nicole from Bratskier and Damien of L’Oreal!

CT Tented Backyard BBQ and Games: Alex’s 30th Birthday Party!
Let the games begin! It’s been mighty chilly this past few weeks in Connecticut…so we all could really use a dose of summer. Go ahead and crank up the heat and take a look at Alex’s fun Fairfield County birthday bash from last summer!
Wonderfully planned by Alex’s family and Elizabeth Allen, the party started in the yard with some serious competition in an assortment of games including the classic egg and water balloon toss and a hula hoop contest, accompanied by a raw bar from Nantucket’s Spanky’s Clam Shack and a great spread of charcuterie. The “piggy” theme was carried throughout, with team shirts and prizes…topped off by a hand-turned pig roast by Chef Jeremy Stanton’s Fire Roasted Catering. We’ll be blogging later in the week on these fab foodies based in the Berkshires.
The party shifted gears later in the evening for dinner under the Stamford Tent–beautifully decked out in bold orangey red by LMD Lewis Miller Design–including more games like pinball and basketball arcade…along with lots of dancing. A super summery birthday…thanks Alex and your family for having us photograph your party! To see lots more photos click here…and think spring!
