Our Story

Where Passion Meets Smoke

Four Generations of BBQ Excellence

At DP's Catering Services, we're not just about BBQ; we're about family, tradition, and flavors passed down through generations.

Our story begins with my grandfather, Joel Branch Sr., a BBQ specialist whose mastery of slow-smoking meats with apple, mesquite, and cherry wood was legendary.

Joel passed this knowledge to his son-in-law, Danny Jeffery—my father. Married to my amazing mother Kathy Jeffery, he inherited those same BBQ secrets.

Then came Gene Patterson—my husband, a culinary craftsman with experience as a chef, merchant marine seaman, and cruise line chef. Gene learned the family secrets and today brings those perfected flavors to California.
