FryDay Catering Menu Loaded Fries

Every great Los Angeles event starts with the same question: what are we feeding people? The FryDay catering menu was built to answer that question in a way nobody at your event forgets. We're a gourmet loaded fries food truck out of Van Nuys, and since July 4, 2019 we've been rolling up to backyards in Sherman Oaks, office parks in Burbank, wedding venues in Long Beach, and stadium lots from the Rose Bowl to Dodger Stadium. What's on the menu isn't a fixed list handed down from a corporate binder — it's a starting point we build around your crowd.

This is the full walkthrough: what's included in a FryDay catering package, how customization actually works, and how to lock in a date.

What's Actually Included in the FryDay Catering Menu

When people ask about our catering menu, they usually mean two things at once — the food, and everything that has to happen around the food. Here's both.

The food. Every FryDay catering package is built on our signature loaded fries. Hand-cut style fries as the base, then a topping build that goes far beyond cheese and bacon bits. Our core lineup includes:

• Nashville Hot Chicken Loaded Fries — crispy chicken, our cayenne-forward hot oil, pickles, and a cooling drizzle. The one people take photos of.
• Caribbean Jerk Loaded Fries — jerk-marinated protein, warm allspice and scotch bonnet heat, bright and layered.
• Mango Habanero Loaded Fries — sweet heat, tropical and sharp at the same time. A gateway flavor for guests who "don't do spicy."
• BBQ Bacon Loaded Fries — the comfort pick. Smoky, sweet, familiar, and the one that disappears fastest at family events.

Everything around the food. Catering isn't just a menu, it's an operation. A FryDay booking includes the truck (or our mobile setup for indoor and venue-restricted spaces), a trained crew, all serving materials, on-site cooking so nothing is pre-plated or sitting under a heat lamp, setup, and full breakdown. We arrive early, we handle our own power and prep where the venue allows, and we leave the space the way we found it. For venues with strict load-in windows — a lot of Santa Monica and Downtown LA spaces have them — we plan around the window rather than asking you to fight for an exception.

How Customization Works on the FryDay Catering Menu

This is where the FryDay catering menu stops being a menu and starts being a plan.

Service style. We run three main formats. Continuous service keeps the window open for a set number of hours and guests come as they get hungry — ideal for block parties, open houses, and graduation parties where people trickle in. Timed service concentrates everything into a window, which is what most weddings and corporate lunches want. Late-night service is the wedding-reception favorite: we roll up near the end of the night and feed people who've been dancing for three hours.

Flavor mix. Most events run two to four flavors. The mix matters more than the count. A corporate lunch in Glendale with a mixed team usually does best with BBQ Bacon plus Mango Habanero — one safe, one adventurous. A birthday party in Pasadena where the crowd skews younger can lean harder into Nashville Hot. Quinceañeras and family events in the San Fernando Valley almost always want a full spread so every generation finds something.

Dietary needs. Tell us up front and we build around it. Vegetarian builds, protein swaps, and heat-level adjustments are all standard requests, not special favors. We'd rather know two weeks out than find out on site.

Portion planning. Loaded fries are shareable by nature, which changes the math versus plated catering. We'll walk you through headcount versus service hours versus whether this is the main meal or a supporting act. A late-night wedding bite for 120 people is a completely different build than a full lunch for 120.

Branding and presentation. For corporate and industry events, we can coordinate on presentation details so the setup fits the look of your event rather than fighting it.

Who We Build Catering Menus For

The honest answer is: a wider range than most people expect from a fries truck. FryDay has served at NBA All-Star Weekend, the LA Dodgers Divisional Playoffs, the BET Fan Experience, LA Galaxy events, UCLA, and LAUSD schools. Those are very different crowds with very different logistics, and the through line is that loaded fries work for all of them.

Corporate teams in Burbank, Culver City, and Downtown LA book us because a food truck lunch pulls people out of their chairs and into the same line. Wedding parties in Long Beach and the Valley book us because guests remember the food truck long after they've forgotten the entrée. Schools book us for fundraisers because the price-per-head math works and the kids actually eat it. Sports and entertainment crowds book us because we can move volume without the quality falling off in hour three.

Own the FryDay Catering Menu in Your Own City

Here's something worth saying out loud: this menu is a business model, not just a food list. FryDay is opening franchise opportunities, and the catering side is a big part of why the model works. Catering revenue is booked in advance, priced per event rather than per walk-up customer, and it fills the calendar on days a traditional restaurant sits half empty. Pair that with a compact menu — fries, four signature flavor systems, a tight prep list — and you get an operation that's far easier to staff and train than a full-service kitchen.

We built the FryDay catering menu to be repeatable. Same builds, same standards, same experience whether the truck is in Van Nuys or somewhere we haven't reached yet. If you've watched the loaded fries category grow and thought about getting in, take a look at frydayeats.com/franchising. We're actively talking to operators who want to bring this to their own market.

Booking Your FryDay Catering Menu

The process is short. Reach out with your date, location, headcount, and a rough sense of the vibe. We'll come back with a recommended flavor mix, a service format, and a quote. Popular dates — spring wedding season, June graduations, December corporate parties, and anything near a big LA sports weekend — go early, so the further ahead you plan, the more flexibility you'll have.

The FryDay catering menu is designed to do one thing: make your event the one people bring up months later. Bold flavors, real cooking on site, and a crew that actually likes being there.
