Joseph Fox Catering is the epicurean expression of the union of James Fox and Maria Joseph. We understand that food is a metaphor for the important things in life. Our love of cooking is combined with a commitment to quality and the freshest locally-produced ingredients available. We believe that good food can make a good party great and that the best food is inspired by the season and is produced in a manner that is harmonious with the earth. We understand the long term benefits of choosing meat, eggs, and dairy products from grass-fed animals, thus much of our ingredients come from local family farms.

James' first restaurant job was in New York City's South Street Seaport, where he began as a prep cook. His talent and skill were quickly recognized and he moved up the ranks quickly. He has served as sous chef and executive chef in top rated French and American restaurants and catering companies in New York, Seattle, and Los Angeles, among them, Les Halles and Ferrier restaurants in New York City.

Before teaming with James and forming the Lower Manhattan based Joseph Fox Catering, Maria has trained with chefs in her native New Orleans, as well as in Los Angeles and New York. In New York, in 2004, she and two of her sisters, with whom she grew up cooking and entertaining, formed a small catering company. When her sisters left New York to follow other pursuits, she began working as a private chef.

Independently and now together, we have helped people on the east coast, west coast and the gulf coast host events large and small, casual to elegant, and all memorable. If there's a party in your future, we hope you will consider calling on Joseph Fox Catering.

We love what we do. And you will too.
