Enjoy
the freshest ingredients.
At On the Side, we make all our dishes from scratch, so you can trust us to use only the freshest ingredients. Whenever it's possible, we use organic foods in our menu items.
You will never find suspicious 'filler' ingredients in any of our dishes. The only imported ingredients we use are the incredible spices, flavorings, and grains that come from all parts of the world. We don't use food dyes or preservatives. We are happy to provide a complete list of ingredients for any dish, printed on a stand-up card for display on a buffet. Simply ask for ingredients display cards when you finalize your catering menu with us.

Your Wish Is Our Command.
Will your event include guests with special dietary needs, such as vegetarians, vegans, diabetics, or people with allergies? No problem! Just let us know so we can make appropriate suggestions for your menu. We can also provide a list of ingredients for each dish, tastefully presented so that you can place a card beside each item on your table and thus allow your guests to check for themselves.
We want everyone to have a great time at your function. Below are just a few categories of consumers we are accustomed to serving. We also welcome your suggestions and your recipes!
Diabetic Guests Diabetics generally need complex carbohydrates that will metabolize slowly, as well as items with no sugar or very low sugar content. As well as our traditional meat, seafood, and vegetable dishes, consider our whole-grain pasta or our whole-grain pizza with no sugar-added tomato sauce, and our breads, carrot cake, and cobblers made with whole grains and sugar substitute instead of sugar.
Guests on a Gluten-Free Diet Simply let us know that you wish to accommodate these guests, and we will not add thickeners containing gluten to any meat, seafood, or vegetable dish. In addition, we can make many of our breads and desserts with rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flours.
Guests with Allergies The most common allergies to food are wheat, nuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, eggs, and dairy products. We can prepare foods and adapt recipes so that none of these ingredients are included.
Vegan and Vegetarian Guests. We are accustomed to creating succulent vegetarian dishes; these are among our specialties. Most of our vegetarian dishes do not include dairy products, but we can easily label those that do for our vegan customers. Many of our vegetable dishes are favorites of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike—We pride ourselves on creating gourmet cuisine for everyone. We want all of your guests to enjoy our food!
