Smithsonian Cafe and Chowderhouse

We had Peter and the Smithsonian Catering do our wedding. All of the food was delicious! Peter worked with us to put together a menu that fit all of our dietary restrictions without issue, changing recipes as needed. It was a huge help as we have multiple gluten free guests. It was awesome to not have to worry about getting people sick.

We hired Peter and his team to cater our wedding and in the process ate at his chowder house several times! He was very easy to work with and never seemed overwhelmed by my parents many asks when it came to wedding food. He was very adaptive and able to accommodate specific styles of prep and cooking to fit our preferences (ex. grilling instead of frying eggplant for eggplant parmigiana)! Most of his cooking is gluten free friendly without having to ask which was great for our GF guests and all of his food was delicious! Our event was nearly 150 people and buffet style service but with the quality of his food, you would have never guessed. We highly recommend Peter and his team to cater any and all of your events (and recommend the soup shooter appetizers!!) and recommend his chowder house for delicious soups and stuffed popovers :)

Gluten free fried seafood for the win!! And the chowder, get the big container, you won’t regret it!!
