About

The Good Life Gourmet has built a reputation for being one of the Outer Banks premier caterers. We are known for delicious food and superior service.

Steve Mace, owner and head of catering, takes pride in treating each event with kid gloves. He is known for his attention to detail and creative and innovative ideas.

Custom catering sums it all up. There are no prepared lists to choose from. You simply tell Steve what kind of food you like, what your budget is, and he will help you build your menu. If you have a favortie family recipe, he will be more than happy to serve that at your event. Steve will expertly guide you with your food choices. He has many years of experience, and he knows what kind of food holds up well for catering.

Catering options include buffet dining, sit-down, or stations. Steve will work hand in hand with the catering staff to create an outstanding and memorable experience for all of your guests.

Please consider our Kitty Hawk location for your next event. There is seating for 60 guests, an adjacent outside patio and plenty of parking. If you need more room Good Life can take its show on the road.

Steve and Susan should be the first people you talk to when planning your event. Not only were they easy to work with and just all around great people, but they go beyond helping you think through the catering to the planning of the actual event. They were able to give immediate estimates for service as well as providing us advice on how to save money in the process. They were very responsive to email and phone calls leading up to the event and gave very precise directions on setup to ensure a perfect event. I cannot begin to describe how delicious the food was, and I received nothing but high praise from all of the guests in attendance. I am looking forward to planning my next event in the outer banks just for the opportunity to talk to Steve and his amazing staff again.

Everything about our experience was exceptional. Our request was last minute and they accommodated us in every way possible. The food was delicious - we had pork tenderloin and crab cakes that got rave reviews. The portions were HUGE. The value was unbelievable as the price was very fair for such high quality food displayed absolutely beautiful. I would recommend them to anyone who needs catering for any event. Top-notch people and company.

Love, Love, Love The Good Life! Chef Steve cooks the most amazing food! His wife, Susie, is also so sweet and is very responsive in all the planning leading up to the wedding. Not only did Steve cater my wedding, but he also has catered our family reunions in OBX. My family loves all of his food! Cinnamon buns for breakfast and barbecue ribs are my favorite! I would definitely recommend The Good Life for weddings or any other event!
