Bon Soir Caterers has expanded The Smokin' Grill with large-format live-fire menus and on-site smoker capabilities for weddings, corporate outings, and private celebrations seeking barbecue catering in NYC.
-- BROOKLYN, NY— Bon Soir Caterers announced the expansion of The Smokin' Grill with new large-format live-fire menus and enhanced on-site smoker capabilities, extending its barbecue catering in NYC services for weddings, corporate outings, and private celebrations across the five boroughs and the tri-state area beginning this event season.
The update broadens the Brooklyn-based caterer's capacity to serve outdoor events that require both high-volume production and on-site culinary execution. Bon Soir Caterers said the expanded offering is designed to meet growing demand from clients seeking barbecue catering in NYC that combines traditional barbecue techniques with full-service event coordination, staffing, rentals, and venue logistics.

Expanded outdoor event capabilities
The Smokin' Grill, Bon Soir Caterers' specialty outdoor barbecue division, now offers additional live-fire menu formats built for larger guest counts and more varied event styles. These formats include slow-smoked meats, grilled premium cuts, barbecue stations, and flexible side selections suitable for company picnics, wedding receptions, milestone birthdays, family reunions, and private outdoor gatherings.
The new on-site smoker capabilities are intended to support fresher preparation at the venue itself, a feature that can be particularly important for hosts comparing barbecue catering in NYC options for parks, private properties, tented weddings, and corporate campuses. By increasing the deployment of mobile smokers and grills, the company can accommodate events ranging from smaller private parties to celebrations serving several hundred guests.
“Clients planning outdoor events increasingly want barbecue that is prepared on-site and presented with the same level of professionalism expected from a full-service caterer,” said Jeff Riley, Owner of Bon Soir Caterers. “This expansion allows The Smokin' Grill to serve more weddings, corporate outings, and private celebrations with live-fire menus that are scalable, flexible, and suited to the demands of New York area venues.”
Founded in 1977, Bon Soir Caterers has operated as a full-service off-premises catering company for nearly five decades. The Smokin' Grill division was developed to bring authentic Southern and Texas-style barbecue to outdoor events while maintaining the planning support and service structure typically associated with formal catering. Texas-style barbecue refers to slow-cooked meat prepared over wood or smoke for extended flavor and tenderness.
According to the company, the expanded barbecue program reflects continued demand from couples, corporate planners, and families seeking event food that feels approachable while still requiring experienced execution. Outdoor event hosts often need support beyond food preparation, including timing, setup, equipment logistics, staffing coordination, and menu planning for guests with dietary restrictions. Bon Soir Caterers said its off-premises infrastructure enables it to address those operational requirements in addition to food service.
Serving weddings, corporate outings, and private celebrations
Bon Soir Caterers expects the expansion to be especially relevant for several event categories:
- Outdoor weddings seeking live-fire cooking with polished presentation
- Corporate outings and employee appreciation events requiring service for mid-size to large groups
- Private celebrations such as anniversaries, birthdays, reunions, and neighborhood gatherings
- Venue-based events across New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut that require mobile cooking equipment
The company said the new menus are intended to give planners more flexibility in how barbecue is served, whether as a buffet, attended station service, or a hybrid format paired with passed appetizers and desserts. That flexibility may help event organizers match food service to the tone of the occasion, from casual outdoor receptions to more structured corporate programs.
Bon Soir Caterers also noted that the expansion strengthens its ability to serve a wider geographic footprint, including Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and surrounding communities in the tri-state area. For venues with site-specific constraints, such as limited prep space or outdoor-only cooking areas, the company said the additional smoker and grill resources can improve planning options and service consistency.
As interest in experiential dining continues to shape event planning, live-fire catering has become an increasingly visible part of outdoor celebrations. For readers evaluating barbecue catering in NYC, the development signals a broader shift toward catering formats that blend culinary performance, guest interaction, and logistical readiness into a single service model.
