Do you offer drop-off catering?
Do you offer drop-off catering?
No. Urban Phoenix is built for full-service, chef-led events. We cook with timing, service, setup, and room flow in mind — not hot pans dropped at a door.

How many guests can you handle?
How many guests can you handle?
We can build for intimate dinners and giant productions — from one guest to 3,000. The scope changes, but the standard does not: strong food, sharp service, and a room that feels handled.

Are menus custom?
Are menus custom?
Yes. We build menus around your event, culture, guests, season, budget, and weird-good ideas. Circus chic, cowboy cookout, stations from around the world, childhood recipes — we’re into it.

The custom experience starts with a brainstorming call. We ask the right questions, listen for your budget, vision, guests, culture, venue, and energy, then build the perfect custom menu from there. Every event is unique, and we love being creative — please don’t take that away from us.

What’s your specialty?
What’s your specialty?
We have first loves: for Keri, Mediterranean and Lebanese food; for Steven, modern Italian. But our actual specialty is building food around people. We do everything from poke bars to Korean BBQ, Southern comfort, traditional Chinese, street-food moments, fine dining, and whatever strange delicious idea fits the event.

Do you cook onsite?
Do you cook onsite?
Whenever the event calls for it, yes. We’re obsessed with scratch cooking and onsite firepower because timing matters. We do not build our reputation on trucking hot food across the valley.

How does pricing work?
How does pricing work?
Urban Phoenix is for clients who are ready to invest in the guest experience. Every quote is custom, and the right budget depends on guest count, menu, staffing, rentals, service style, venue access, travel, and production needs. Some events are high-volume, some are high-touch, and some are simple comfort for small but special moments — we do it all with intention.

Can you execute fully certified kosher events?
Can you execute fully certified kosher events?
Yes. We can work with a certified mashgiach to kasher our prep space, supervise the event, and coordinate the handling of china, glassware, silverware, and service pieces as required. We also have a fully kashered mobile kitchen that can accommodate both dairy and meat events, with the proper supervision and planning in place.

How far out should we reach out?
How far out should we reach out?
As soon as you have a date, guest count, and general direction. Large productions and peak dates need more runway, but if the timeline is tight, still ask — we’ll tell you what’s realistic.

Can you handle dietary needs?
Can you handle dietary needs?
Yes. We can design around allergies, preferences, and cultural needs with enough information up front. We’ll be honest about what we can execute safely and beautifully.
