No gathering is too big or too small for Big Mama’s. The family owned and operated restaurant and catering company in Pasadena can pull together a meal package for up to 500 guests this season.

Dargetta Carlisle, one of the managers, said, “We’ve done caterings for (companies), and senior homes… December is pretty busy (because) of the holiday drop-offs. Some companies don’t do parties but they’ll do like a holiday meal for the employees.” The largest group served in the first week of the month had 500 people. “We did ribs and chicken that time. Salad and rice and all kinds of good stuff (like) peach cobbler and apple cobbler (were included).”

The last month of the year continues to be busy for catering. “Obviously, November is too because (of the) Thanksgiving meals that we do,” Dargetta said.

The holiday hustle and bustle served as an inspiration for their holiday package. “We do the deep-fried turkey for Thanksgiving, for Christmas (eve), and New Year’s (Eve),” Dargetta explained. People can pick up the popular Cajun-fried turkey the night before and on Christmas day. It can go with the traditional trimmings such as cranberry sauce, corn bread stuffing, yams, mashed potato, and gravy. According to Dargetta, “some people like the barbeque ribs with their fried turkey at Christmas time.”

Serving a group is possible also in the restaurant on Lake Avenue off the 210 freeway. Big Mama’s Rib Shack serves enthusiasts of the Rose Bowl game every year. “We (set up more) tables and games for people to play. It was really fun. We had a TV and heating lamps,” the proud manager said.
