BBQ Pulled Pork: A Backyard BBQ Favorite

Few things capture the spirit of comfort food like a plate of pulled pork. Slow-cooked until it’s tender enough to fall apart, then tossed in a smoky-sweet sauce, it’s the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table. The BBQ pulled pork at Scott’s Catering and Grill is rich, bold, and packed with just enough tang to keep your guests going back for seconds.

What Makes It Special

The sauce is what really sets this pulled pork apart. A blend of sweet and smoky barbecue with that unmistakable whiskey glaze kick, it infuses the pork with layers of flavor as it cooks low and slow. The result is meat that’s juicy, tender, and perfectly coated in sauce without being overwhelming.

How to Serve It

At Scott’s Catering and Grill we serve our pulled pork as a classic sandwhich or as an additional entree served by itself, but we always have leftovers for you to take home! With our sweet and tangy pulled pork, the possibilities are endless:

• Classic Sandwiches – Pile the pork high on a toasted brioche bun, then top it with creamy coleslaw for crunch.

• Pulled Pork Tacos – Warm corn tortillas, add pork, pickled onions, and a squeeze of lime.

• Loaded Fries – Crispy fries topped with pork, shredded cheddar, jalapeños, and a drizzle of ranch or extra BBQ sauce.

• BBQ Pizza – Spread barbecue sauce on a crust, add pork, mozzarella, and red onions, then bake until golden.

• Hearty Bowls – Spoon pork over rice or mashed potatoes with roasted veggies for a filling dinner.

A Crowd-Pleaser Every Time

Scott’s Catering and Grill pulled pork is one of those dishes that works just as well for a weeknight dinner as it does for a backyard gathering. It’s bold, flavorful, and versatile enough to make into something new every time you serve it. Call us today to book your event!

🔥 Why Our Santa Maria Tri-Tip is a Fan Favorite

When people ask me what cut of meat I’m most proud to serve, I don’t hesitate—it’s the Santa Maria tri-tip. This cut has become the star of our catering menu for good reason, and I’d love to tell you why it’s one of the best choices you can make for your next event.

1. It Starts with the Cut – Hand-Trimmed and Seasoned In-House

We hand-trim every tri-tip ourselves to make sure you’re getting nothing but the good stuff—just the right amount of marbling and no unnecessary fat. Then we season it with our own Santa Maria-style rub, inspired by the classic California barbecue tradition. It’s a bold, savory blend that’s packed with flavor without overpowering the meat.

2. We Cook It Slow and Live – Right at Your Event

There’s something special about meat grilled over live fire—and tri-tip responds beautifully. We cook it low and slow at your event, allowing it to develop that smoky crust on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. When we carve it fresh on-site, the aroma alone draws a crowd.

3. Tender, Juicy, and Satisfying

The tri-tip is a bottom sirloin cut, so it’s naturally lean but still tender when cooked properly—which we’ve mastered over years of events. It slices clean, holds up well on a buffet, and keeps its moisture better than most other cuts. Guests notice the difference.

4. Looks as Good as It Tastes

One thing I love about serving tri-tip is how great it looks on a platter. The triangular shape, the way it’s sliced against the grain—it just has a real “wow” factor when we lay it out. It’s hearty and elegant at the same time, and that’s hard to beat.

5. People Can’t Get Enough of It

I hear it all the time:

“That tri-tip was unreal.”
“Best I’ve ever had.”
“Do you sell it by itself?”

It’s easily one of the most complimented items on our menu. Whether we’re serving 30 people or 300, the tri-tip always delivers—and keeps folks coming back for seconds.

Why It Works So Well for Events

Hand-trimmed, quality meat in every bite. Our signature rub adds a savory, memorable flavor. Live-fire grilled, juicy inside, crisp outside, tender, with a beautiful presentation. Guest favorite where you won’t have leftovers (and that’s a good thing!)

If you're looking for a main dish that satisfies a crowd, looks impressive, and tastes unforgettable—our tri-tip is the answer. I personally guarantee it’ll be one of the highlights of your event.

Let us bring the flavor to you, grill and all.

Mastering the Grill: Expert Techniques for Juicy, Flavorful Chicken

🥩 Mastering the Grill

There’s nothing quite like the smoky aroma of grilled chicken—it’s a staple at family dinners, weekend gatherings, and catered events alike. But getting chicken just right takes more than fire and luck. At Scott’s Catering & Grill, we’ve grilled thousands of chicken plates, and we’re sharing our top tips to help you grill like a pro.

🍗 1. Choose the Right Chicken Cuts for Grilling

Different cuts cook differently. Chicken breasts are lean and quick, while thighs and drumsticks are more forgiving and flavorful.

BBQ Pro Tip: Use bone-in, skin-on pieces for maximum juiciness and taste.

🧂 2. Marinate or Brine Before You Grill

Soaking your chicken in a marinade or brine adds flavor and keeps it from drying out.

Simple Chicken Marinade Recipe:

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tbsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).

🔥 3. Use Two-Zone Heat for Better Control

Set up your grill with one hot side and one cooler side. Sear the chicken over high heat, then move it to indirect heat to finish cooking.

Charcoal Grill Tip: Stack your coals on one side.
Gas Grill Tip: Turn one burner high and leave the other low or off.

🌡️ 4. Cook Chicken to the Right Internal Temperature

Always use a digital meat thermometer to avoid undercooking or overcooking.

• Chicken breasts: 165°F

• Thighs and drumsticks: 170–175°F

Check the thickest part of the meat for an accurate reading.

⏲️ 5. Let It Rest After Grilling

Rest your grilled chicken for 5–10 minutes after cooking. This helps the juices settle and keeps the meat moist and tender.

🌳 6. Add Smoky Flavor with Wood Chips

Enhance your BBQ chicken with natural smoke flavor. Soak wood chips (like hickory, applewood, or mesquite) for 30 minutes, then place them on the grill for extra depth.

🍽️ Final Thoughts

Grilling chicken isn’t just a skill—it’s an art. With the right techniques and a little practice, you can serve up juicy, perfectly cooked chicken every time.
