Meet the chef

Food made the way it should be. Fresh, local and built around your event.

Craft Catering is led by Chef Marcus Twilegar, a San Diego native with over 10 years in professional kitchens. Every menu starts with what's in season.

We buy produce from local farmers and fish from local fishermen. Our meat is natural, with no hormones, antibiotics or GMOs. Then we build a menu around your guests, your venue and your budget.
