Corporate & Party Catering in Southern California

Brother 2 Brother started in 2007 as a one-time party event. James and Randy have been known in private circles for their culinary skills for many years and were hired to do private events as personal chefs.
They were hired to do a senior brunch, an event for 80 guests, to honor seniors in the church and the community.

The catering was so successful that many were asking where their restaurant was located. They became known as the best-kept secret in the Inland Empire. It was an easy transition to start the catering business, and James formally filed the company papers in 2010. Randy served as a consultant for the company. The name Brother 2 Brother was Randy’s idea and he decided to join the team with James.
They are known for working with their clients to create unique menus that are custom-designed to fit the theme and enhance the celebration. Both have a passion for fine dining and service excellence. Together they have over 40 years of culinary experience.
