Ed Pfaffel has been helping residents of Northeastern Ohio host the perfect party for over twenty years. His company, Gridirne Cookery, is much like a portable restaurant, specializing in the on-site roasting of pork, beef, lamb, chicken, and even bison. With his specially designed equipment, Ed will come to your location and slow roast your choice of meat over a hardwood charcoal fire until it's smoked and grilled to perfection and then hand carve and serve it for your guest's delight!

Started in the 1980s, Gridirne (pronounced Grid Iron), is licensed by the Health Department as a professional caterer and is equipped to handle groups from twenty-five to eight hundred. Ed handles everything from start to finish and has even designed and fabricated his own equipment. Showing up about six or seven hours before serving time, Ed fires up his grill-on-wheels year round to provide tasty treats for weddings and receptions, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, block parties, fundraisers, company picnics, corporate events, and golf outings. They roast twelve months of the year regardless of the weather and can provide only the roasting of the meat or they can cater the entire event including appetizers, side dishes, desserts, and place settings. If you're the do-it-yourself type, Ed also rents roasters so you can do the cooking yourself. Gridirne Cookery was on hand at the new Brown's stadium to handle the roasting at the pre-opening party for the construction workers. Traveling throughout Northeastern Ohio, Ed has provided the roasting for every type of function from first birthday parties to eightieth birthday parties, small backyard parties to large corporate events.

Treat yourself and your guests to a party that's guaranteed to not be soon forgotten. Give Ed Pfaffel at Gridirne Cookery a call and while you're on the phone with him, don't forget to tell him that The Advocate sent you!
