Our style of American contemporary cuisine paired with our unique approach to event design and planning is the recipe for the success of any occasion.
Our History
We’re in the 10th year of operating our successful catering company, previously known as Event Caterers, now The Cue Catering. Specializing in full service, event design, custom menus, and cuisine prepared, cooked, and presented in its natural state, preserving the wholeness and wellness of an ingredient. It made sense to start naturally smoking our own meats. In early 2012, we decided to take a road trip down south and trailered a Georgia-built, wood-fired smoker back to Danbury. Our team of chefs was so excited to test out this little 6-foot smoker (it seemed huge at the time). We started making our own pastrami for our store as well as turkeys, hams, and pork loins. Eventually, we began smoking and selling BBQ out of our catering locations on Friday nights. The smoke was set upright in the parking lot. The combination of sweet and hardwood slow-cooking brisket, ribs, sausage, chicken, and pork butts left an aroma that attracted people from all over. It was the perfect complement to our catering company. Friday nights and catering were becoming so busy that we decided to build our own 10-foot smoker. Both smokers were at full capacity every weekend. Our 800-sq-ft kitchen wasn't cutting it either. We were ready to move to something bigger. With the help of close family and friends, we were able to open The Cue Restaurant in September 2016.
