Detroit's Premier Catering Services Since 1992
Edibles Rex began in 1992 as a small restaurant founded by Tammy Tedesco and has grown into Metro Detroits premier catering service. Our foundation lies in Tammys passion for creating wholesome, delicious food tailored to any occasion, from intimate gatherings to large-scale corporate events. Over 30 years, weve perfected our ability to orchestrate seamless events, serving notable clients including the Detroit Big Three and former U.S. presidents. We prioritize superb quality and on-time delivery, ensuring food arrives within 60 minutes of serving time while adhering to strict safety standards. Our school food program, developed with Tammys maternal perspective, provides nutritious meals that children enjoy, combining health with fun through themed packaging and educational content. With a 10,000 sq. ft. licensed kitchen and a team renowned for professionalism, we handle events of all sizes, from weddings to conferences, offering customizable menus rooted in locally sourced ingredients.

Our commitment to excellence extends to drop-off catering, full-service events, and beverage management, supported by a 20% service charge covering setup and serving ware. Client testimonials highlight our staffs reliability, creativity, and ability to exceed expectations, as evidenced by our role as the official caterer for the Detroit NFL Draft. We maintain rigorous safety protocols, including background-checked staff and temperature-controlled deliveries, while offering flexible payment terms and 48-hour notice options for urgent orders. This blend of experience, adaptability, and dedication to client satisfaction has solidified our reputation as a trusted leader in the catering industry.
