At Ultimate Asado Experience, we believe that food is not just nourishment—it’s a way to bring people together, create memories, and celebrate life. Our story is a blend of cultures, culinary traditions, and a deep passion for hosting unforgettable events.

Andrea, born and raised in Argentina, grew up with a deep love for Asado—a time-honored tradition where family and friends gather to enjoy slow-cooked, flame-grilled meats. Richard, on the other hand, was born in the U.S. to Cuban immigrant parents. His love for cooking comes from his mother, Isabel, an incredible cook who passed on her culinary talents to Richard. Lucky for Andrea, Richard’s passion for food was a perfect match for her own.

Richard’s expertise in Asado blossomed under the mentorship of his brother-in-law, David, and a local Argentine asador, Don Bernard, who has been mastering the art of Argentine BBQ for over 40 years. What makes Richard’s cooking truly special is the fusion of Cuban flair with the authentic flavors of Argentine Asado, creating a dining experience like no other.

With over 15 years of experience in the wedding and event industry as photographers, we’ve had the privilege of witnessing countless celebrations. This has given us deep insight into what makes an event truly extraordinary—great food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere where guests feel beyond special. We know that a successful event is not just about what’s on the plate; it’s about the relationships, the laughter, and the unforgettable moments shared around the table.

Our Asado is a sensory experience. Unlike some BBQs where food is rushed over the grill, a real Asado is about taking your time, savoring the process, and enjoying the delicious aroma of meats slow-cooking over firewood. The joy of sharing this tradition with family and friends makes the experience all the more meaningful.

Why do we do this? Because we believe everyone deserves to experience the magic of a true Asado. Our passion for food, family, and hosting is what drives us to bring this authentic tradition to your home. At Ultimate Asado Experience, we combine delicious food, personalized service, and a genuine love for making our clients feel special. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, we promise an Asado experience that you and your guests will never forget.

Together, Richard & Andrea have built the perfect team to help make your event unforgettable. Come, share in our love for food and the joy of the perfect Asado!
