We heated the rice, corn, and beans in a row of crock pots. Used two ovens for the meat. The chicken was more frozen than the ribs so had a couple extra aluminum pans and separated them a little. Even saved a pan of beans (you are right they were so good) for our Indio trip this week. Thanks again for the accommodation.

"That was the best food I've ever had at a wedding, or any BBQ for that matter."... "I almost didn't get in line when I saw the size of the portions he was putting on everyone's plate", I thought for sure he'd be out of food after 30 people. Then I ended up getting fourths because everyone else was full and there was still food left!"... You made our wedding a success. Your kindness, promptness, helpfulness, and amazing food (seriously, I don't think I've heard people rave about corn nibblets before haha) none of it will ever be forgotten. And if you ever need anyone to attest to your hard work and great results, please send 'em our way...because...wow!
Thanks 1000 times over Dan. |

Nice to have fun and raise funds at the same time for the school. Thank you for being part of that. You both have been so generous to us for the past -- do you believe it -- six years! We so appreciate you. I am looking at the calendar and thinking we are looking at September 2014, nearly a year and a half away, for Patrick's 50th birthday.

I heard raves about it for the next several days. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I was out of town. The food can make or spoil a party and your dishes were wonderful. Also another thing I really appreciated is that I didn't have to even think about the food once you arrived. There was so many other things pulling on me that I realized after you left what a dream it was to not have to be concerned at all about the food or serving at all. I only was involved with the other aspects of the party. That was a big relief. Thank you again and if I ever host another party, I will certainly call you again. Karen Cuva |

Hi Dan,
Well a day later the BBQ was still the talk of El Mirage Dry Lake. Everyone was still talking about how good everything was. So, I wanted you to know. My wife was there. I don't know if I explained that. But she was bummed out by the wind and dust and heat and didn't want to leave the trailer, so she wasn't at the BBQ. By the time I got back around 9:30 pm she had already eaten something and was outside sitting by the fire and wrapped up because she was cold. So she didn't eat any of the care package you made for her. We had ribs for dinner when we got home Sunday evening. She especially likes the little short (in length) ribs because they are so meaty and smoky. She wanted to know how you smoked them. So I told her you did it with one piece of wood. She said that was impressive. I like your sauce, but she ate her ribs dry. Just savoring the flavor of the rib. My wife thinks that your ribs are the best she has ever had, and she is a big rib connoisseur. She has eaten ribs all over the country, while I tend to stick with the dishes I like, not that I don't like ribs, but give me a big ol' thick steak anytime. So, she thinks that of all the ribs she has eaten from the east coast to the west coast yours are the best. So that's a pretty good compliment coming from her. Just wanted you to know. And your sauce, you might want to think about a side line just making and selling your sauce. I know it'll go over big. Anyway, just wanted you to know that you were the talk of El Mirage, and we'll have to plan for another one next year somewhere. Best Regards, Mike Stewart El Mirage 200 MPH Club |

Dear Dan, where to begin? It
was excellent, awesome, fantastic, delicious, delightful,
special, exciting, fantastic and well, we loved every minute of
it!
Thank you so much for helping make my 50th birthday (yikes) so deliciously special. Every bite was perfect, and all our guests loved it. We only hope you had half as much fun as we did! I feel bad that it was a tough exit, but I was so impressed by your speedy entrance! We shared with guests and made generous doggie bags, but also saved enough for a fantastic Sunday meal at my parents' house with our visiting German cousins. Yesterday we had enough left for sandwiches and my mom still has some morsels at home. My favorite time eating was when you gave us tastings in the afternoon. Wow, that was exceptional. We hope to have an opportunity in the future to have the pleasure of eating/playing with you and Barbara again. In the interim, again, many thanks for everything. With warm regards, Heidi Wong and the Family P.S. Eventually I promise to get some photos to you. Stay tuned! |

Dear Dan:
So lovely to see you and your wife last night; It was such a treat for us. Everything was delicious as always, & we’re about to sit down and enjoy the brisket which we’ve been sampling since this morning (who says it can’t be eaten for breakfast!)….Continued success always, & be sure that I will always give your name to anyone who’s even thinking about hosting a big barbeque!! Take care, Warmly, David & Cecilia |

Thanks so much Dan. We so
enjoyed having BBQ by Dan at our shoot. You guys are the best
and you've become an integral part of our journey. Want to hear
something cool? We raised over 20k at the shoot and the
following week, one of our friends handed us a check for
100K...that's right! 100K. We will now be able to underwrite
several service dogs for wounded veterans. How cool is that?
Next year we will be bigger than ever. For now, put us down for
the second Saturday of August at the Oak Tree Gun Club and if
there are any changes in the dates, you know I will contact you
right away.
Congratulations on serving another fine BBQ meal. We have had so many people compliment us on our choice for your BBQ lunch. It's very rewarding to know that we are making our guests very happy by serving your fine food. Thanks again for another great year. Talk to you soon.

We have had several big get togethers at our house in Newhall California. We used to cook our own food but realized as we got older that this was just too difficult. We were introduced to Dan and the rest is history. He shows up at our home with a professional looking trailer outfitted for a large event. Food and tables set up in a pre-designated area of our home. They used nothing of ours and served some of the most delicious barbeque we have ever had. The extra side dishes were absolutely delicious. I think one thing that was not said at my party was the following: "I/we cannot eat this or that" I have heard that statement from so many family members that I want to scream. All I got was compliments from everyone including those family guests that usually complain about something. Thanks Dan. Perfect set up and delivery. I did the easy part. I just wrote the check. Very truly yours Joseph Trafecanty 661-478-0733 |

Thank you so much for another terrific evening. People are still talking about it. And everyone is lamenting that they have to wait a whole year for your food. You are such a star! And you make it so easy for me and make me look good. Who could ask for more? So, about next year/ I know we talked about keeping the same weekend for us. So would next year be on Sat. May 1st? We are planning the school calendar so let me know if that works for you. Thanks again, Lisa Brault |

Hey Dan
The pulled pork was a hit! We did not serve sandwiches, although a large delicious golden dinner roll from Stater Bros. KFC slaw and your sauce was how I ate it. Your rice was a hit too. Thank you for providing the best again! Everyone was asking about you. My pastors wife asked if we could do it every year. She hopes to be able to purchase some sauce for her mom and dad. Is it available for purchase and shipping. Thanks Karen |

Dan,
I was with my wife last Saturday when you catered the Flowing Wells Hunting Club’s event. (She was with the band). Your food was so fantastic that I brought a smoker today along with a Pork shoulder. I’m going for it on Saturday night. I went to your web site and will use your recipe. One thing though, the bbq’d beans with the pulled pork in them, can I get the recipe. I’ll understand if it’s a secret, but I’ve been literally dreaming of them since last Saturday, they were OUTSTANDING. Also, I’ll use Paul Kirk’s BBQ Sauce recipe from your web site (I hope it’s the same delicious sauce you were serving.) I will be indebted if you send me your recipe if it’s not. But I understand company secrets! Thanks so much for the award winning barbecue, you’ve inspired me for a new weekend obsession! Respectfully, Andy Bromsey Tehachapi, CA |

Well what can we say. Even though it has been 5 years since the last time we had a shindig, this one was just as perfect as the last one. As usual the food was perfect, tasted fantastic and of course there was plenty of it. I especially liked the new flavor in the beans. Don't know what you did but they sure were great, Everyone raved about all of the dish's and everyone wanted doggie bags so they could savor the meal again the next day. Thank you so much for making the event such a success (even though the weather wasn't co-operating) Fun was had by all and no one went away hungry Melody and Joe Miller |

Hi Dan,
WOW - what amazing BBQ. Our guests raved throughout the evening about your food. I even had one person tell me that she dreamed about a big plate full of your brisket! Your warm hospitality and the aroma of the BBQ truly made it an extraordinary evening. It was a memorable way to honor Chuck and Tanja's wedding. Some of our guests are plotting together to find a way to have your BBQ again! Best of luck and I hope our paths cross soon. Patty |

Hi Dan,
Our Church Youth Rally was a Huge success. We had 94 people from all over Central and So Cal attend. The pulled pork sandwiches were Amazing! I had so much fun serving them knowing what raves they were going to receive. The men went home with a shaker full of your secret recipe and this Sunday I will present our fathers with a special BBQ basket including it. A dear friend told me she had wanted your BBQ, a small order event and was turned away, she was surprised that we had it on the Menu! Her husband could not eat, unfortunately he is having dentures made and was toothless.. Can I freeze the butt that I have left over? I would love to give it to him when he has his new choppers.. The sauce was incredible, how long will it keep in my fridge? I will forward you the link to the photos when they are posted, Smiling faces are a testament to our efforts. Indeed working with you was a Blessing. Thank you for all your expert advice, and recommendations. Several visiting pastors asked me if we would host our Annual meeting in late August. My goodness was that ever a compliment. It was a privilege coming to your home and getting a tour of your business. Our morning together set the tone for my day too. Again, thanks for everything. All for now, Karen |

Dear Dan:
I was going to send you a proper handwritten thank you, but email is faster and I can't tell you quick enough how much we enjoyed and appreciated yours and Barbara's hard work on Saturday. The food was beyond my expectations and everyone was still raving about it at school today. It really was the perfect combination of food, music, and even the weather cooperated! This was the most successful fundraising event aside from the auction itself and our principal was absolutely thrilled at the result. I have already told the annual fund committee that I want to do it again next year and build on the success of this year's event. As soon as we figure out the date, I will let you know and get us in your book. Thank you again for an incredible evening, Lisa P.S. The principal was being very diplomatic about comparing this year's event with last year's gourmet dinner with the principal. Her band, including her husband, were not so diplomatic. They all agreed the food this year was far better than last year's "chef" dinner, and they said that everyone left last year right after dinner, whereas this time, about 50 percent stayed till the last song. They want you back! |

the ribs, dirty rice etc. You surpassed my expectations, wish
there was a restaurant with your food being served. Each dish
was as good as the next, I'll have to save the bones as
souvenir's! Wish we could have you out once a month. Stay in

It was an honor to meet you and your staff. The event is such a special one to our unique group and now that we know you, we’d like to consider you and your staff part of our family. We had such a great time and people are still calling and writing to tell us what a wonderful time they had, particularly the spectacular lunch.
You folks out did yourselves and we commend you on a timely, professional and incredibly delicious BBQ. I knew from the moment I laid eyes on your website that we were in for a treat. I could taste the love right through the monitor. That’s how good your food is.
It was great sharing the day with you and watching you feed the troops. Those are some hungry dudes, eh? Hands down, you guys will be our first and only choice, year after year. Please feel free to stay in touch with us, if for nothing else than to just say, "Hi."
As a side note, I was telling my staff at work today about your finger lick’n good BBQ and I think I made everyone hungry.
God bless you all and from the bottom of our hearts, and thank you again for everything.
Best Regards,
Lisa
Christianson

In any case, I just wanted to let you know that you were given catering credit in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings for our reception back in April. We had an amazing day, and you and your team were such an integral part of it. You not only served the best food our guests have had from any other wedding experiences, but your professionalism and kindness TRULY helped set our minds at ease, BAR NONE. I've told several people who inquired about your services, to simply hire you, put down the deposit, sit back, and simply set their minds on other matters. I've spread the word that BBQ by Dan has my ultimate confidence in catering any occasion. Best of luck and perhaps we'll get together for another function soon! ************************************************ Warmest Regards, Truman Cho Paper+Cup Design, NYC 45 Main Street, Suite 812 Brooklyn, NY 11201 |

This was by far the best BBQ
I have ever had in my life. I am not the only person who had
that opinion. I was told by almost every guest how amazing the
food was, and I got comments like " this is the best meat I have
ever tasted..."
What a class act! You
really know how to do what you do. If you ever need a referral
feel free to use my name.
Again, thanks to you and
your family for making the party such a success. I will
certainly refer your services and use you again for any upcoming
events.
Sincerely,
Jody Downey
