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
Humane sourcing and environmentally responsible ingredients 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.
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.

In Good Company
Kind Words
"Tommy built a menu around our venue and our people. Our guests are still talking about the paella."
"On a location shoot the schedule falls apart daily. EATS never did. On time, every meal, crew fed and happy."
"Beautiful food, zero fuss, and a chef who actually cares where the ingredients come from. Exactly what we wanted."
Suggested Venues
After years of catering across Tahoe and the Lost Sierra, a few venues keep proving themselves. If you're still choosing a place, start here.
Tastings
Two ways to do it. Sit down for a tasting dinner — a personal chef event at half the standard rate, where we build your menu together for up to 14 guests. Or come by the food truck, on us, and sample the flavors and quality first.
