Eat & Smile Catering

We are proud to have been the first and only locally sourced caterer in the Washington, DC area, and we have received a great deal of support from local farmers, bakers, cheesemakers, fisherfolk, and other food artisans. Our meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy, and bread are all sourced from farmers who live within 175 miles of the city limits. Eat & Smile Catering, which was founded in 2007 and continues to grow as a boutique business, collaborating with clients to create one-of-a-kind events that meet their culinary and financial requirements. This is supplemented by an occasional dinner club hosted in our commercial kitchen space, The Bespoke Kitchen, where food-loving diners can find the freshest and best seasonal produce finely finessed into unforgettable dining experiences.

SOURCING FROM THE LOCAL AREA Local ingredients, we believe, are more environmentally friendly, economically sustainable, healthier for you, and they taste fantastic! The food industry is becoming more transparent as consumers become more knowledgeable about where their food comes from and how it was raised or grown. Putting emphasis on locally sourced items is very important to us, not only because every dollar spent with a local farmer or producer goes directly to them, recirculating many times within our community and strengthening our local economy, but also because an ingredient that has been picked locally and recently tastes so much better than one that has been picked in South America a week ago. Take a look at our Partners page to learn more about some of the local producers with whom we have established relationships.
