I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. As the new co-owner alongside my husband and head chef Joel, I feel incredibly grateful to be stepping into this role!

I'm even more honored to carry on the tradition built by Jeff Engroff and Rosie Newman.Their leadership and vision have shaped Engroff into something truly special, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve poured into this business. I grew up around this place—my very first job was bagging appetizers and it means the world to now help lead its next chapter.

Rosie will still be around (don’t worry—you’ll still hear from her!) and Jeff will be sharing more soon about what’s ahead for her. We’re all cheering her on, and I’m so glad she’ll continue to be a part of the Engroff family.

Now, for some exciting news—we’re making it easier than ever to bring home the meals you love.

After decades of building and growing this company, I’m stepping aside and handing it off to two people who know it inside and out. As of this month, I’ve officially announced my retirement from Engroff Catering.

I’m proud to share that the legacy of exceptional catering will continue under the new ownership of Joel and Emily Lewis—both of whom have deep roots in Engroff Catering’s history.

Joel has been our Head Chef for the past 13 years and has helped shape the food and service we’re known for. Emily’s first job was bagging appetizers for Engroff Catering, and her family has been part of the Engroff story for decades. They understand what this business stands for, and I trust them completely to carry it forward.

While I’m stepping away from the catering business, I’m not slowing down. I’ll continue to focus my energy on leading our construction companies—Sunflower Paving, RD Johnson Excavating, ReClaim It Recycling, and Sunflower Painting Solutions—where I remain deeply involved in growing and guiding operations across the region.

To all of you who’ve trusted us over the years—thank you. From weddings and graduations to boxed lunches and holiday meals, it’s been an honor to be part of your lives.

I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I hope you’ll continue to support Joel, Emily, and the Engroff Catering team as they begin this next chapter.

This month marks 34 years of Engroff Catering.

What started as a local family business in Topeka is still just that—family-run, rooted in the community, and committed to serving people with a 5 star experience.

Now, I may not be the chef in the kitchen every day or loading up the delivery van like I used to when we started with my Dad at the helm—but I’m still involved, and still proud of the Engroff Catering name and the way our team shows up.

Rosie continues to do an incredible job leading the charge, and the crew behind her brings the same level of care and hustle that got us started in the first place.

To all of you who continue to trust us with your events, meals, and celebrations—thank you. Whether it’s lunch for the office, a wedding reception, or a holiday meal for the whole family, we’re grateful to be part of it.

And we’re not slowing down. This year, we’re still innovating in the kitchen to roll out new menu options, strengthening our boxed lunch and corporate catering, and yes—we’ll have some exciting things coming for the holidays again, too.

If there’s ever anything we can help with, just reach out.

Did you know that more and more of our clients are choosing our Build Your Own Bars (they’re really popular for 2025)—and it’s easy to see why. We have three different tiers you can fully customize, and it’s the kind of meal everyone gets excited about.

We also offer different price points to help you stay on budget : )

Tier 1: Choose from our Baked Potato Bar, Pasta Bar, or Taco Salad Bar—each comes with salad, bread, and your choice of toppings.

Tiers 2 & 3: Upgrade to our exclusive Fajita Bar, with your choice of chicken, steak, or seasoned beef, served with all the extras—rice, beans, chips, tortillas, and toppings.

Whether it’s lunch for the office or a team dinner, these bars bring big flavor and flexibility to the table.

If you’ve been thinking about doing something a little different for your office or team—we’ve got two easy (and delicious) ideas for you.

First up: Lunch Break Pop-Up Catering
Our Lunch Break Pop-Up brings hot, homemade meals right into your office during the lunch hour. No setup on your end—just good food that your team can grab and enjoy.

You only pay if you want to help cover the cost for your employees. And we’re happy to drop off a free sample first so you can try it before you book anything.

We rotate through a variety of favorites like: Lasagna & green beans, Grilled chicken and wild rice, Pulled pork sandwiches & chips, Meatloaf with roasted potatoes, Chicken cordon bleu casserole & carrots

And for the early crowd…
Our breakfast catering is perfect for morning meetings or just a nice surprise to jumpstart your team : )

Fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, flaky quiche made in-house (yes, even the crust!), and colorful breakfast boards that look as good as they taste.

If you want to treat your team—morning or midday—we'd love to help you set something up.
