Jay's Catering Co.

Armand Jay Mastroianni’s love of food, family and fun led to the creation of a catering enterprise, known simply as Jay’s Catering. “Jay” spent his early adult years pursuing various occupations, but it wasn’t until 1968, at the age of 45, that he hit upon an idea that would change his life and that of his family forever. He started as a milkman, went on to open a supply depot for delivery trucks all the while amassing a fleet of 37 catering trucks of his own, which could be found at the many beaches, businesses and construction sites in fast-growing Orange County. Four years later, he built a food distribution center to service catering trucks as well as his clients, including several Huntington Beach school districts and Mercury Savings and Loan. All of these ventures led to the formation of a social catering company that would ultimately become one of Orange County’s premier caterers.
