BBQ so good, it’s downright haunting. 👻🔥
Let’s be honest — you can’t survive the weekend on the Reese’s you “borrowed” from the kids’ trick-or-treat stash. When the moon is high and the hunger hits, it’s time to summon something a little heartier.

Order up a few pounds of our smoked brisket and creamy mac & cheese — the kind of comfort food that can silence even the hungriest ghouls. We’ll have it ready hot and waiting, or packaged for the fridge so your crew can feast whenever the craving strikes.

Ask, and we’ll even include disposable tableware so no one gets spooked by a pile of dishes later.

And for that one kid who’s gone vegetarian? Don’t worry — our BBQ Impossible Sloppy Joes are frightfully delicious.

Check out the menu at BackFortyCatering.com and give us a call at (419) 724-7901 to place your order for pickup today.

🎃 Friday Night Fright — Backyard Edition! 👻
Let the little ones run wild for candy, then gather everyone around for the great post-trick-or-treat candy swap! 🍬🍫🍭

Meanwhile, the grown-ups can relax with BBQ, cocktails, and a cozy fall night under the lights. 🔥

Order your feast at BackFortyCatering.com or give us a call at (419) 724-7901 — we’ll even include disposable tableware so no ghoul ends up doing dishes. 😉

Because Friday nights are better when they’re full of flavor, laughter, and zero cleanup.
