For all of the people who are arguing their second amendment rights and feel “they can pry my gun from my cold dead hands”.

In the wake of yet another school shooting this is even more relevant. Save your prayers, they are useless without action.

My work station for last night. You can’t beat the view and we got to serve an amazing couple and their guests. Congratulations Chris and Nicole!

Instead of asking yourself “am I better than I was 4 years ago” and someone else if they were. It’s not all about ourselves.

A few samples from the BBQ that we catered tonight. Cowboy Caviar Cups and Grilled Strawberry shortcake. I would have taken pictures of the brisket and ribs but they didn’t last long enough for me to snap a pic.

Before you hit send on that negative review for that thing ask yourself “why am I doing this?”

Then, erase it and write a positive one for something you love.

Our Story

We are Steve (Oz) and Laurie Ozbolt, the owners of Emerald City Catering & Events. We want nothing more than to make your event special and meaningful to you, with delicious food, of course. Emerald City Catering & Events was founded in 2009. Oz has had a passion for cooking for as long as he can remember. He was always playing with his mom’s pots and pans on the floor in the kitchen. Some of his fondest childhood memories are of family gatherings around a fantastic meal prepared by his parents who let him help with the preparations.

As a youngster, Oz would assist his Dad in creating homemade sausages known as Dad’s Brats and Grandpa’s Hickory Smoked Sausages. Eventually, his Dad deemed him worthy of the secrets of the recipe and passed them on to him. He also learned to create some of the finest desserts and Croatian specialties at his Mom’s knee. His parents were the primary influence on his culinary career.

When he turned forty, Steve decided to turn his passion into a business.

We began by renting the basement kitchen of Blessed Sacrament Church. The church Steve grew up in. With the last name of Ozbolt, he’s been called Oz since first grade, leading to the name Emerald City Catering. After two years, we moved to a location in South Milwaukee and primarily offered take-out and off-site catering. In 2018, we moved to the former Walker’s Maple Grove location to be able to provide on-site catering and banquet services. We are honored to carry on the family traditions of memorial lunches, weddings and other parties that many families in the area have with this building.
