Blue Collard Catering
Our Story
Blue Collard Market is our new solution to dining in. Our hand-prepared specials can be completed with fresh salads, gourmet sides, and daily baked goods to fit various dietary restrictions and tastes. At Blue Collard Market, we cook, so you don’t have to. Take, Bake, and Enjoy!
Our reasonably priced meals take the mess, the fuss, and the waste out of preparing your own meals in your home without losing the care of a home-cooked meal. Whether it's a busy family or a dinner for one or two, keep life simple. Our market is the perfect solution for a housewarming present, a new baby, or relief during a period of bereavement or stress.
At Blue Collard our catering options are limited only by the imagination. Although we offer many popular themes and entrees, we strive to create a custom menu for each event based on our client's vision. Creating a custom menu ensures flexibility with varying budgets and a unique menu to wow your guest.
Meet Christian
Growing up in the Carlisle household, every Sunday night was for family. Dad would grill barbecue chicken and mom would whip up some side dishes, and the four children would gather on a bench in front of the tv and watch the Disney Sunday night movie while eating a home-cooked meal together.
At the age of 14, Christian started in the restaurant industry. Working through every position and moving into management by the time he turned 18. After a break from the restaurant industry and a venture into retail, he missed the creative avenue and excitement and moved back to the hotline.
Venturing into fine dining until the opportunity presented itself to marry the two worlds and join a family-owned gourmet kitchen store. Teaching classes and managing the retail store was a happy blend of the two. With class's popularity evolving into a three-hour wait for sign up and his catering business growing, in 2018, he opened Blue Collard Market.
The vision behind Blue Collard Market serves two purposes; beyond fulfilling the need for a full-blown catering kitchen and office, the market drew its inspiration from his childhood dinners, taking people back to their homes and dining tables. As a nod and reminder to the family suppers of his youth, the bench built by his father that he and his siblings ate dinner on every Sunday, sits on the front porch.
