About

Mise en Place - French pronounciation: mi za 'plas

It is a French culinary phrase which means "putting in place" or "everything in its place". It refers to the set up required before cooking, and is often used in professional kitchens to refer to organizing and arranging ingredients that a cook will require for the menu items that are expected to be prepared during a shift.

The inspiration behind Fodrey Catering Concepts came from years and years of working within the rules of someone else's kitchen. Gathering someone else's mise en place to prepare someone else's menu. Fodrey Catering Concepts takes great pride and passion in creating menus tailored to each and every individual client. Stepping outside of the culinary box and bringing our heart to your table.

The best wedding food ever

I had just over 100 guests and everyone said this was the best wedding food they have ever had. Jamie was absolutely amazing to work with. We got to create our own menu and the service exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic June Wedding

Fodrey was fantastic! Jamie helped me all the way from start to finish and answered all my questions within 24 hours! She, and her crew, were fabulous. The day of the wedding they came in and set up (they rearranged my original set up and it made it so much better for flow!). The bartender was fantastic with her cocktails. But most of my compliments for my reception was about how amazing the food tasted! I kept getting asked if the guests could have seconds lol. Highly recommend!!

Perfect choice for our small fall wedding!

We are so pleased with the catering from Fodrey. We mainly worked with Jamie, who was easy to get in contact with, responsive, and professional. She helped us with a fall-themed menu that was exactly what we were looking for! We also added desserts on, to give our guests something other than cake. This was a great idea, as our guests are still talking about the delicious desserts and food! The team also helped set up our reception space and break everything down, which was a massive help. We also appreciated that disposables were included in the price of our contract, which was already very reasonably priced. Thanks so much Fodrey!

Dream Team

We celebrated our daughter’s wedding on June 25th, 2022. Fodrey Catering Concepts provided the food and logistical support for the event. We simply cannot state with any greater emphasis just how wonderful the food was and how great Jamie and her staff were throughout the entire process. Jamie Fodrey is a great chef! Our guests repeatedly told us how delicious the food was. What was so impressive to us was that Jamie made food for 175 guests and maintained great consistency throughout. We must also mention her staff. They not only manned the buffet lines for us as well as the beverage bars throughout the event, but also provided day of coordinator assistance for the wedding. A shout out to Lindsey for her ability to stay on top of the tasks required, never get flustered, and maintain a smile and a wink all day long. She and other members of the staff even remained after the wedding and assisted us with loading our personal decorations and remaining beverages. Jamie’s staff are some of the hardest working people we have encountered; willing to do whatever it took to ensure we and our guests had a great experience.

We cannot recommend Fodrey Catering Concepts highly enough. If we have any future events, big or small, requiring catering, Jamie Fodrey will be the first person we call! https://www.facebook.com/FodreyCatering

Wonderful experience

Jamie was amazing with her communication and support leading up to the day/helping to plan for all aspects of the catering experience. The food was phenomenal, and although we selected a relatively simple menu (chicken and fish, veggie lasagna, green beans, potatoes, and apps for cocktail hour), the food was served hot, was well-seasoned/very flavorful, and I heard ONLY positive comments/rave reviews about the food and service. There were leftovers, but not too much, and what was left was much appreciated/eaten by us and close family. Jamie, my mom wants the recipe for your veggie lasagna! Kudos to Jamie Fodrey and her team for all that you do!

Amazing food and service- look no further!

From the initial email I knew Jamie was going to be amazing and she didn't disappoint! Super quick and professional, Jamie was willing to help craft a menu that was unique and reflective of our different cultures. She was always positive, always willing to listen to ideas that I had, and always willing to be flexible as I changed my mind a number of times.

The Fodrey team put on a cocktail hour that included a chef station for made to order spring rolls while simultaneously providing delicious latkes and other more traditional cocktail hour fare. For our buffet style meal, we went with an Asian theme- Soy Ginger salmon, kung pao chicken, pork & shrimp fried rice, along with asian garlic green beans and sesame garlic noodles. All of the dishes were a huge hit with our guests and everyone had their plates piled high!

Jamie & team also helped us staff our bar, managed the champagne toast, and assisted with cake cutting. They took care of more details than I think I even knew needed to be taken care of and I can't say enough how much they allowed me to not worry about a thing as it related to food and drinks.

If you're looking for a caterer, look no further than Jamie and her team at Fodrey Catering Concepts!

Outstanding Food

Jamie and her team make putting together a Menu for a large group easy and our large group had a list of allergies to work around as well! She was my wedding caterer on September 7th, 2019. We opted for a buffet style wedding as I felt it went better with my rustic barn style theme. We got so many compliments on the food. It was delicious!!!!

Our Entree selections were:
Fried Catfish
Garlic Rosemary Chicken
Eggplant Parmesan

Side selections:
Glazed Carrots
Mashed Potatoes
Mac & Cheese
Tossed Salad with 2 types of dressings
Dinner rolls
Candied Bacon- this is amazing- everyone loved this. TRY THE BACON!

Jamie also did our cocktail hour with italian meats and cheeses, crackers and a fruit tray!
One thing I loved is she does AMAZING watermelon carvings and she did one that matched our "Getting hooked" theme- as we love to fish- it was a super cute personal detail to add to our special day.

Our dinner trial with Jamie was fun and it confirmed our menu items. The homemade Mac and Cheese is mind blowing. The groom talked about the fried catfish to EVERYONE so they knew to try it.

Please give Jamie and her team a call. I promise you won't be disappointed and the variety she offers is amazing.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
