The American Express — commonly called the AMEX — is one of the PGA Tour’s most beloved events, held every January at PGA West in La Quinta. Tournament week brings pros, celebrities, and a dedicated golf crowd to the desert, and private gatherings during AMEX week are a Valley tradition. Big Smoke makes sure the food is worthy of the occasion.
We deliver premium BBQ catering for the AMEX Golf Tournament — slow-smoked brisket, surf & turf, and full cookout spreads to homes, villas, and venues across La Quinta and the Coachella Valley. Tournament parties, corporate hospitality dinners, and private celebrations all handled.
Also serving La Quinta events: catering near PGA West and catering near The Madison Club.
