Chef-driven catering for weddings, retreats, private events, productions, and gatherings across Tahoe and Northern California.
Menus built around your people, your place, and the season.
EATS Cooking Co. is built on the belief that food brings people together. From a food truck in downtown Truckee to wedding tables across Tahoe, Chef Tommy Adkins sources responsibly, cooks with intention, and builds every menu around the event — never from a template.

Our Food Philosophy
The humane treatment of animals and environmentally responsible sourcing sit at the center of every EATS menu. Meats come from ranches pushing the envelope on animal ethics. Seafood meets Seafood Watch and Safina Center standards. Produce follows the seasons of Northern California's food system.
Not because it's fashionable — because it's how food should work. It supports the ranchers and farmers around us, and it simply tastes better.
More About EATSThe Food
Signature meal styles that anchor most EATS events — each one shaped to your guests, your venue, and the season.
Spain's bright, smoky rice dish — cooked in one oversized pan.
A full table, served family-style — food, conversation, laughter.
A New England classic, adapted for West Coast sensibility.
Sleeves rolled up, beer in hand, clams in the other.
Plant-forward menus with the same care as everything else.
Tastings
When you cater with EATS, you don't guess at the menu — we build it together over a real dinner for up to 14 guests, at your place or Chef Tommy's kitchen, at half the standard personal chef rate. Not a sample tray. A preview of the event itself.
