Recipes that travel
Caribbean, Southern, Italian, Asian — the flavors our family grew up on, cooked the way they were taught.
Our story
Where the world’s recipes meet a backyard fire
Wrights International Catering & BBQ is our family’s kitchen — a place where the flavors our family grew up on travel the world and come home to the pit.

Chef Yodie, Chef Yolanda Wright
Chef Yodie has spent more than twenty years in the kitchen, cooking for families, churches, offices and celebrations all over the DMV. Her food travels — Caribbean, Southern, Italian, Asian — and every plate comes back to the same idea: real ingredients, seasoned by hand, made from scratch that day.
Baked chicken the way we make it for Sunday dinner, crabcakes worth crossing town for, teriyaki that nods to the Far East — and jerk wings, rasta pasta and shrimp jambalaya with a taste of the islands. Every plate is seasoned by hand and made from scratch the day you ask for it.
