: Dotty Griffith Ranches Up!

Just when you think the going is tough, the toughest open a catering company. As a recovering caterer, I identify with the “need to cater.” It makes people happy. It makes you happy to make people happy. Catering is an affliction, an addiction that should not be exposed to rookies or people without strong resolve.

Which brings me to the veterans behind Cobb Switch BBQ in Carrollton: Blair Black, Janet and Phil Cobb, and switch hitter, former DMN critic, Dotty Griffith. These people have schlepped a few meals to various locations. So, without further ado, the envelope with the press release please:

Jump. (Oh, and Kirk get out your red pencil!) Food delivery offered just in time for the football and Holiday seasons

WHAT: Following its successful opening, Cobb Switch BBQ in Carrolton is rolling out its catering program offering their restaurant’s signature dishes as well as holiday turkeys and game-day treats on the go.

The culinary minds behind Cobb Switch BBQ have created a holiday menu surrounding traditional holiday fare, turkey and ham. They will be slow smoking whole turkeys and ham of different sizes to accommodate any number of people for Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. Since no Holiday dinner would be complete without the sides, Cobb Switch BBQ will also stir up some seasonal favorites to impart a home cooked feel to a delivered meal. Game-day favorites are also being offered as Cobb Switch BBQ goes mobile. Their tasty sliders and sides will turn any traditional tailgate into a food free-for-all as guests fumble for more.

As the restaurant continues to see its success grow, Owner/General Manager Blair Black has set his sights on spreading the BBQ love all over the Metroplex. Launching a catering division has been the vision of Black since Cobb Switch opened its doors in June of this year. A native of Dallas, he is very eager to reach all of the DFW area, offering delivery and set-up to homes, businesses and other venues of choice. At the rate they are going, Cobb Switch BBQ is set to rapidly smoke the competition.

Successful? I have been several times on various days/nights and I was wondering when it would soon be something else. I have never been when there was more than one other table.
I attributed it the fact that the last time we went – there was cheese soup with macaroni in it, a very frozen corn dog, and no chocolate pies even though advertised.
The ribs were great as usual. But the service is indifferent at best (I attribute this to the staff having nothing to do). I hate when a restaurant is fantastic when they open and slack off as they get settled. So disappointing.

I guess the metroplex needed another catering firm to serve mediocre barbecue.

I’m not going to lie, that didnt sound very objective. There are alot of small catering companies out there that strive for excellence, and while this article is a nice plug, there doesnt seem to be much passion.
