Our story

Horace Lovett - Founder of Lovett Catering

Who We Are

Horace Lovett, originally from Savannah, Georgia, is a true southerner at heart. He learned how to cook watching his mother and grandmother in the kitchen. That's where he learned all that goes into southern cuisine. However, BBQ is something Horace picked up all on his own. Studying the different regions that specialize in BBQ, he has a complex style that combines the regions of BBQ that he enjoys the most. Mainly Georgia, South Carolina & Texas with a little bit of Memphis style sprinkled in there.

Our goal is to give customers what they want - Good BBQ! The kind of soul food that grandma cooked. More importantly, we want everyone to have an enjoyable experience eating some of best food in the world.

Why We Were Founded

"I founded this company out of frustration and necessity. I couldn't find any good BBQ in the city of San Jose or even the Bay Area. No offense to anyone, I'm sure they're all doing their best. So I decided to just start cooking and inviting my friends and family to join me for some authentic southern cooking and BBQ. Then I was encouraged by everyone who tried my food to start a catering business or restaurant."Here we are, ready to serve you!
