Boise, Idaho · Family-Run · Soul-Food Fusion

Give your next event some soul.

We're the Timberlakes. We smoke Wagyu brisket low and slow, fold collard greens into egg rolls, and cater weddings, parties, and late-night pop-ups across the Treasure Valley. This is food built to bring people together.

What we cook

Soul food, smoked meat, no shortcuts

Timberlakes Cuisine is a mobile kitchen and catering crew run by Chef Brandon Timberlake - most folks know him as Chef Grewsum - his wife Adrianni, and their daughters. We started with a little smoker named HogZilla on the Boise Bench. Now we cater events for a hundred-plus guests and sell out weekend nights downtown.

The food is soul food with a fusion streak: classic Southern sides next to brisket Philly sandwiches and collard green egg rolls. Everything is seasoned by hand, smoked over real wood, and made to feed a crowd like it's family.

  • Black-owned & Hispanic/Latinx-owned, family-run out of Boise
  • Weddings, parties & corporate events - we'll travel to your venue
  • Weekend pop-ups on Main Street in downtown Boise
