Patrick Fahey & Jason Hartenbach - Proprietors of Edge Catering

Business owners Patrick Fahey and Jason Hartenbach are successful Tucson businessmen with over 45 years of combined experience in the operation of restaurants and catering across Southern Arizona. Patrick and Jason met years ago while participating in Executive Chef training at the Sheraton El Conquistador. Jason went on to open a very successful catering company, River's Edge, while Patrick stayed in the restaurant business before branching out to run all food operations at two of Southern Arizona's busiest tourist locations. At the end of 2010 Patrick and Jason came together to become the concessionaire at the Pima Air and Space Museum (Flight Grill). The Museum had gone through a major addition, in which they built a 250 seat restaurant as well as a new event space to accommodate up to 1000 people. Edge Catering is the preferred caterer at several of Tucson's most well-known wedding locations where they cater over 300 weddings per year as well as many corporate and private off-site functions. Their philosophy of providing excellent affordable food always ahead of time provides the perfect solution for Tucson's corporate population. They are excited to expand this arm of the business and look forward to helping your group with their next function. The pair also operate the Tohono Chul Garden Bistro and the Mobile Bistro Gourmet Food Truck.

 

Michael Montesano - Executive Chef

Born and raised in Tucson, he began his culinary career in high school. However, his lifelong passion for the art of food began the moment he could toss a sauté pan. Trained in Classic French and Italian cuisine, Michael has been transforming classical recipes and dishes with modern techniques and equipment in many high end kitchens across Tucson. From the tapas of VINTabla, the New American Classics of Dove Mountain Grill, and the Southwest landmark of Tohono Chul Garden Bistro, Chef Michael has helped develop the variety that is Tucson cuisine. The creator of the traditionally innovative SPUN! Gelato has now teamed up with Tucson's leader in creative quality and service, Edge Catering, as Executive Chef. The team at Edge is ready to make your catering vision become a reality.
