The BEST Barbecue;

Last night at Friendly Valley our theatre group had our Christmas Party and we had Dan the barbeque guy, BBQbyDan, as our dinner feature...
You have never had barbeque as good as Dan's barbecue... really unbelievably fabulous !
And the confirming measure in my opinion is when something is eaten cold as the "dirty rice" this morning and ITS STILL GOOD, THAT is good barbecue !!! That was my favorite... then there's ribs, chicken, huge sausages...OMG to die for!

Texted to BBQbyDan referencing a BBQ Drop-Off       
  
All went well. Everyone raved.
We heated the rice, corn, and beans in a row of crock pots. Used two ovens for the meat. The chicken was more frozen than the ribs so had a couple extra aluminum pans and separated them a little.
Even saved a pan of beans (you are right they were so good) for our Indio trip this week.
Thanks again for the accommodation.

Actual comments from the wedding:
"Those were the best ribs I've ever eaten."...
"That was the best food I've ever had at a wedding, or any BBQ for that matter."...
"I almost didn't get in line when I saw the size of the portions he was putting on everyone's plate",
 
I thought for sure he'd be out of food after 30 people. Then I ended up getting fourths because everyone else was full and there was still food left!"...
 
You made our wedding a success. Your kindness, promptness, helpfulness, and amazing food (seriously,
I don't think I've heard people rave about corn nibblets before haha) none of it will ever be forgotten.
 
And if you ever need anyone to attest to your hard work and great results, please send 'em our way...because...wow!

Thanks 1000 times over Dan.

Thank you so much to you and Barb both. We love seeing you, and catching up, and enjoying the food the night of, and days after. So, at the end of the night, we raised $$$$'s . That is just an added bonus. Nice to have fun and raise funds at the same time for the school.
  
Thank you for being part of that. You both have been so generous to us for the past -- do you believe it -- six years!
 
We so appreciate you.
  
I am looking at the calendar and thinking we are looking at September 2014, nearly a year and a half away, for Patrick's 50th birthday. Do you have any annual commitments that would conflict?

Hi Dan
  
Thank you.  
Everything went very well. Everyone loved the food. I heard raves about it for the next several days. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I was out of town. The food can make or spoil a party and your dishes were wonderful. Also another thing I really appreciated is that I didn't have to even think about the food once you arrived. There was so many other things pulling on me that I realized after you left what a dream it was to not have to be concerned at all about the food or serving at all. I only was involved with the other aspects of the party.
That was a big relief.
 
Thank you again and if I ever host another party, I will certainly call you again.

Glad that the weather didn't mess up your ride back home. I know you had gotten up very early that morning, so I'm sure you were happy to get home and get to bed early that night. :)

You are definitely our BBQ guy from now on. I'm sure we'll be using your services again. Perhaps next time at a summer picnic.

Hi Dan,

Well a day later the BBQ was still the talk of El Mirage Dry Lake. Everyone was still talking about how good everything was. So, I wanted you to know.

My wife was there. I don't know if I explained that. But she was bummed out by the wind and dust and heat and didn't want to leave the trailer, so she wasn't at the BBQ. By the time I got back around 9:30 pm she had already eaten something and was outside sitting by the fire and wrapped up because she was cold. So she didn't eat any of the care package you made for her. We had ribs for dinner when we got home Sunday evening. She especially likes the little short (in length) ribs because they are so meaty and smoky. She wanted to know how you smoked them. So I told her you did it with one piece of wood. She said that was impressive. I like your sauce, but she ate her ribs dry. Just savoring the flavor of the rib. My wife thinks that your ribs are the best she has ever had, and she is a big rib connoisseur. She has eaten ribs all over the country, while I tend to stick with the dishes I like, not that I don't like ribs, but give me a big ol' thick steak anytime. So, she thinks that of all the ribs she has eaten from the east coast to the west coast yours are the best. So that's a pretty good compliment coming from her. Just wanted you to know.

And your sauce, you might want to think about a side line just making and selling your sauce. I know it'll go over big.

Anyway, just wanted you to know that you were the talk of El Mirage, and we'll have to plan for another one next year somewhere.

Best Regards,
Mike Stewart

Dear Dan, where to begin? It was excellent, awesome, fantastic, delicious, delightful, special, exciting, fantastic and well, we loved every minute of it!

Thank you so much for helping make my 50th birthday (yikes) so deliciously special. Every bite was perfect, and all our guests loved it. We only hope you had half as much fun as we did! I feel bad that it was a tough exit, but I was so impressed by your speedy entrance!

We shared with guests and made generous doggie bags, but also saved enough for a fantastic Sunday meal at my parents' house with our visiting German cousins. Yesterday we had enough left for sandwiches and my mom still has some morsels at home.

My favorite time eating was when you gave us tastings in the afternoon. Wow, that was exceptional.

We hope to have an opportunity in the future to have the pleasure of eating/playing with you and Barbara again. In the interim, again, many thanks for everything.

With warm regards,
Heidi Wong and the Family

P.S. Eventually I promise to get some photos to you. Stay tuned!

Thanks so much Dan. We so enjoyed having BBQ by Dan at our shoot. You guys are the best and you've become an integral part of our journey. Want to hear something cool? We raised over 20k at the shoot and the following week, one of our friends handed us a check for 100K...that's right! 100K. We will now be able to underwrite several service dogs for wounded veterans. How cool is that? Next year we will be bigger than ever. For now, put us down for the second Saturday of August at the Oak Tree Gun Club and if there are any changes in the dates, you know I will contact you right away.

Congratulations on serving another fine BBQ meal. We have had so many people compliment us on our choice for your BBQ lunch. It's very rewarding to know that we are making our guests very happy by serving your fine food. Thanks again for another great year. Talk to you soon.

Dan

We have had several big get togethers at our house in Newhall  California. We used to cook our own food but realized as we got older that this was just too difficult.
We were introduced to Dan and the rest is history.
He shows up at our home with a professional looking trailer outfitted for a large event.
Food and tables set up in a pre-designated area of our home.
They used nothing of ours and served some of the most delicious barbeque we have ever had.
The extra side dishes were absolutely delicious.

I think one thing that was not said at my party was the following: "I/we cannot eat this or that"
I have heard that statement from so many family members that I want to scream.
All I got was compliments from everyone including those family guests that usually complain about something.

Thanks Dan. Perfect set up and delivery. I did the easy part. I just wrote the check.

Very truly yours

Dan,
I was with my wife last Saturday when you catered the Flowing Wells Hunting Club’s event. (She was with the band). Your food was so fantastic that I brought a smoker today along with a Pork shoulder. I’m going for it on Saturday night.

I went to your web site and will use your recipe. One thing though, the bbq’d beans with the pulled pork in them, can I get the recipe. I’ll understand if it’s a secret, but I’ve been literally dreaming of them since last Saturday, they were OUTSTANDING.

Also, I’ll use Paul Kirk’s BBQ Sauce recipe from your web site (I hope it’s the same delicious sauce you were serving.) I will be indebted if you send me your recipe if it’s not. But I understand company secrets!

Thanks so much for the award winning barbecue, you’ve inspired me for a new weekend obsession!

Respectfully,

Well what can we say. Even though it has been 5 years since the last time we had a shindig, this one was just as perfect as the last one.
 
As usual the food was perfect, tasted fantastic and of course there was plenty of it. I especially liked the new flavor in the beans. Don't know what you did but they sure were great,
 
Everyone raved about all of the dish's and everyone wanted doggie bags so they could savor the meal again the next day.
Thank you so much for making the event such a success (even though the weather wasn't co-operating)
Fun was had by all and no one went away hungry

Hi Dan,
 
Our Church Youth Rally was a Huge success. We had 94 people from all over Central and So Cal attend. The pulled pork sandwiches were Amazing! I had so much fun serving them knowing what raves they were going to receive. The men went home with a shaker full of your secret recipe and this Sunday I will present our fathers with a special BBQ basket including it.
 
A dear friend told me she had wanted your BBQ, a small order event and was turned away, she was surprised that we had it on the Menu! Her husband could not eat, unfortunately he is having dentures made and was toothless.. Can I freeze the butt that I have left over? I would love to give it to him when he has his new choppers..
 
The sauce was incredible, how long will it keep in my fridge? I will forward you the link to the photos when they are posted, Smiling faces are a testament to our efforts. Indeed working with you was a Blessing. Thank you for all your expert advice, and recommendations. Several visiting pastors asked me if we would host our Annual meeting in late August. My goodness was that ever a compliment.
 
It was a privilege coming to your home and getting a tour of your business. Our morning together set the tone for my day too. Again, thanks for everything.
 
All for now, Karen

Dear Dan:
 
I was going to send you a proper handwritten thank you, but email is faster and I can't tell you quick enough how much we enjoyed and appreciated yours and Barbara's hard work on Saturday. The food was beyond my expectations and everyone was still raving about it at school today. It really was the perfect combination of food, music, and even the weather cooperated!  This was the most successful fundraising event aside from the auction itself and our principal was absolutely thrilled at the result. I have already told the annual fund committee that I want to do it again next year and build on the success of this year's event.  As soon as we figure out the date, I will let you know and get us in your book.
 
Thank you again for an incredible evening,
Lisa
 
P.S.
The principal was being very diplomatic about comparing this year's event with last year's gourmet dinner with the principal. Her band, including her husband, were not so diplomatic. They all agreed the food this year was far better than last year's "chef" dinner, and they said that everyone left last year right after dinner, whereas this time, about 50 percent stayed till the last song. They want you back!

Dear Dan,
We were so pleased with the service you provided for us at the Celebration of my in-laws 60th Wedding Anniversary. We had friends and relatives attend from as far away as Florida and Washington. The response was overwhelming and we received very favorable comments regarding the BBQ and service provided by you. It was great to work with you from a far to pull off a very successful event. Thanks again for all that you have done.

Dan, Thanks for the great service and even greater food. Everyone is still talking about the ribs, dirty rice etc. You surpassed my expectations, wish there was a restaurant with your food being served. Each dish was as good as the next, I'll have to save the bones as souvenir's! Wish we could have you out once a month. Stay in touch! Thanks again for flawless performance!

Dan,

   

It was an honor to meet you and your staff.  The event is such a special one to our unique group and now that we know you, we’d like to consider you and your staff part of our family.  We had such a great time and people are still calling and writing to tell us what a wonderful time they had, particularly the spectacular lunch.

  

You folks out did yourselves and we commend you on a timely, professional and incredibly delicious BBQ.  I knew from the moment I laid eyes on your website that we were in for a treat.  I could taste the love right through the monitor.  That’s how good your food is.

  

It was great sharing the day with you and watching you feed the troops.  Those are some hungry dudes, eh?  Hands down, you guys will be our first and only choice, year after year.  Please feel free to stay in touch with us, if for nothing else than to just say, "Hi."

  

As a side note, I was telling my staff at work today about your finger lick’n good BBQ and I think I made everyone hungry.

  

God bless you all and from the bottom of our hearts, and thank you again for everything.

  

Best Regards,

I wish to thank you for catering this past weekend. You and your crew were professional and organized. Your BBQ food and service is to die for.
   
The ribs, chicken and pulled pork were all delicious, I especially enjoyed the BBQ beans with pulled pork and your dirty rice sides.   In fact everybody was commenting about the food.

Hi Dan.

Thank you for an extraordinary BBQ that made Judith’s birthday party a special occasion for all the guests as well as for her. Everything was indescribably delicious, and everybody was delighted and impressed.  We all felt like we were in the presence of a grand master.

Now I have to get my friends and their organizations to use you at their parties --- so I can taste your cooking again.

Dear Dan,
 
I am sorry this note has taken me so long to write but I just ate the last of your fabulous chicken (leftovers that I froze from the party) and thought that I could not pass up this opportunity to sing your praises.  From your gracious and informative phone reception when I called the very first time, the fabulous and generous trial tasting you prepared for us in your trailer at your home, to the clear and  well written out contract we decided on together,  to your professional and personal set up and service to our guests,  to the best BBQ’ed meats and fixin’s we have ever tasted, it was a delight to have you and your lovely wife cater our son’s 18th b-day surprise at our ranch home in Agoura Hills.

Thanks a million and keep up your good work!

Kindest Regards,
Kim and Marty Moskowitz

Same here, Dan. My family and I just loved it. I had a question though. Can the sauce be applied over meat (like chicken) and then grilled in a BBQ? I was just wondering whether there is any problem subjecting it to flames.

Hi Dan,

Now that I've caught my breath I wanted to catch up with you.
   
Thanks so much for the wonderful, wonderful food and service. I am still getting compliments and inquiries about you.  I hope you enjoyed a few things....guess you are at a lot of weddings. I'm sorry I didn't get much chance to talk at the wedding - hopefully we will meet again. I do know IF I ever had another party (maybe not wedding - that was a lot of work) you will be the first one I call!

Thanks again,
Very much,
Laura

How are you Dan? Long time, no? In any case, I just wanted to let you know that you were given catering credit in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings for our reception back in April. We had an amazing day, and you and your team were such an integral part of it. You not only served the best food our guests have had from any other wedding experiences, but your professionalism and kindness TRULY helped set our minds at ease, BAR NONE.
    
I've told several people who inquired about your services, to simply hire you, put down the deposit, sit back, and simply set their minds on other matters. I've spread the word that BBQ by Dan has my ultimate confidence in catering any occasion. Best of luck and perhaps we'll get together for another function soon!

I want to express to you how happy I was with your food and service at my mother's party.
    
This was by far the best BBQ I have ever had in my life.  I am not the only person who had that opinion.  I was told by almost every guest how amazing the food was, and I got comments like " this is the best meat I have ever tasted..."
   
What a class act!  You really know how to do what you do.  If you ever need a referral feel free to use my name.
    
Again, thanks to you and your family for making the party such a success.  I will certainly refer your services and use you again for any upcoming events.

Dan,
 

Everything you prepared was amazing and you worked so hard! I have had so many compliments on the food and I am very proud to give your name out to anyone who asks.

 
I had a very ingenious idea to spread the beans liberally on everything to get that amazing BBQ flavor - - it was as wonderful then as it was the first day.

  
I will pass this along to Marc and Laura because I know they were very interested in the rubs/sauces.   Please let me know how I go about getting the a small bottle of rub as well as BBQ sauce for myself and I'll pass the message on to Marc.

    
Thanks again!

Have a great day!
