OUR STORY

Mallard’s Catering Co. had its first seed planted back in 2018 when I was asked to cater a friend's wedding. Soon after, Mallard's Smokin’ Bar-B-Que was established. After years of honing my craft and catering as a side gig, Mallard's BBQ became my full time passion.  In 2023, what started as just catering evolved into a food truck that is still proudly serving “Duckin’ Good Bar-B-Que!” in Sedalia, MO.  Through every evolution of the business it's always been rooted in true craft barbecue and a passion for doing things the right way.

What started as smoked meats and scratch-made sides quickly turned into something more. As catering requests grew, so did the vision: create a catering company that delivers the same level of quality, consistency, and care—but without being limited to just BBQ.

Today, Mallard’s Catering Co. offers a wide range of menus designed for weddings, private events, and corporate gatherings—bringing elevated, from-scratch food to the table in a way that feels approachable, reliable, and unforgettable.

We’re proud to continue growing, expanding, and refining what we do—while staying true to what got us here: great food, done right, every single time.
