Catering By The Family is a Tampa-based full-service caterer offering chef-driven cuisine for weddings, corporate events, and private dining, with menus built around locally sourced ingredients. The kitchen is led by Chef Steven Gonzalez Jr., whose training in New Orleans with the Brennan Group informs custom menus ranging from passed hors d'oeuvres and action stations to plated dinners and late-night snacks. Founded in 1976 as The Family Sandwich Shoppe and incorporated as an off-premise catering company in 1982, Catering By The Family operates from a 17,500 square foot facility on Cypress Street with a full-time staff of 25 and 75 to 100 part-time event staff. The company serves Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, Pasco, Sarasota, and Manatee counties. Couples and their families highlight the action stations, passed hors d'oeuvres, timely plated dinners, well-staffed bars, and servers who go above and beyond, with guests frequently commenting on the food long after the event.
