Seasoned Chef Brings Culinary Talents to Cowtown

Clay Wilson Launches Wilson Caters in October 2009

    FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When considering the summit of culinary achievement in Fort Worth, names like Tim Love, Grady Spears, Brian Olenjack and Louis Lambert jump to mind. Chef Clay Wilson, who has had the privilege of working with several of these local culinary artists, is poised to ascend the ranks and join them at the top. Wilson and his wife Michelle are set to launch Wilson Caters this month and bring fine western cuisine to special events and occasions in the area.

    Chef Wilson’s menu reflects the distinct culinary heritage of Texas, as well as his own love of grilled steaks and chops, seafood, barbeque and Mexican food. Wilson carefully sources his ingredients from local ranches and farms, and evolves his cuisine to highlight the best in seasonal fare. Wilson Caters relies on the principle that the difference is in the detail: breads, sauces, salad dressings and desserts are all made in-house and to order.

    “Michelle and I are enthusiastic about bringing our food to Fort Worth and are confident that the experience we provide will exceed the expectations of guests. We look forward to serving Fort Worth and expanding into surrounding communities,” said Chef Wilson.

    Wilson accrued fifteen years of experience in various roles ranging from Sous Chef to Executive Chef. He previously cooked in various restaurants including The Roadrunner in Las Vegas, Nev.; The Nutt House in Granbury, Tex.; Reata in Fort Worth, Tex.; and most recently, The Burning Pear in Sugar Land, Tex.

    Founded in 2009, Wilson Caters is a Fort Worth-based catering business that specializes in bringing western cuisine to special events for groups of two or more. Menu items reflect the distinct cultural heritage of Texas and are prepared fresh from local ingredients and incorporate quality seasonal flavors. Wilson Caters is owned and managed by Chef Clay Wilson and his wife Michelle Wilson. For more information, visit www.wilsoncaters.com.
