Strategic Catering and Consulting
Cast Iron Grit was born from an unwavering approach to providing exceptional food and service while sustaining the regional food-ways of Northeast Florida and South Georgia.
Through developed and highlighted relationships with regional producers of food, local artisans and artists, restauranteurs and chefs alike, we have found our niche: to be the glue that bonds these food-way components, being the fulcrum of creative thought for culinary-centered ventures, help to establish strong relationships, and create an experience like no other for those wanting a memorable food service experience.
Meet the Chef
Chef Trey Hartinger
Husband, father, and Marine Corps veteran Trey Hartinger is obsessed with bringing the stories and foods of the region to your event or business. The lack of local and regional farm representation on menus in the area has driven Trey for years to honor the Slow Food Movement’s philosophy and source food locally and deliver it authentically. Cast Iron Grit is his vehicle to do so.

Every occasion is different, so we believe our menus should be as well. Why live in a box? We greatly value the communication process and pride ourselves on curating every event specifically and uniquely so that it is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Our menus never repeat themselves.
