Delight Your Guests With Our Washington DC Deli Food Truck Catering

We partner with the top deli food truck catering specialists in Washington DC to make sure every event—from a Foggy Bottom fundraiser to a Navy Yard game-day tailgate—has the perfect spread of cold cuts, house-made pickles, and crispy kettle chips.
Our crew knows the city’s palate: a hint of Old Bay here, a splash of mambo sauce there, and always fresh, locally baked bread worthy of a Ben’s Chili Bowl half-smoke. From classic Reubens and turkey clubs to vegetarian caprese heroes, our DC deli food trucks pile on the flavor so your guests can tour the District one bite at a time.
