Our Story

Fine Dining Standards,
At Every Table

Kindred Catering Co. was founded in 2010 by Chef Marguerite Holloway, a James Beard–nominated chef who spent twelve years in Michelin-starred kitchens before deciding that the most meaningful meals happen when people gather around a shared table.

Today, our team of sixteen — including three lead chefs and a dedicated event coordination team — serves the Washington metropolitan area. We source locally when in season, build every menu from scratch, and believe deeply that hospitality is a form of care.

Chef Marguerite Holloway
Founder & Executive Chef
"The best meal isn't the most elaborate one — it's the one that makes people feel known."
