BRAISED

by Kevin Lee

Slow-Cooked Comfort. Catered.

Catering, Done Differently

Braised brings the depth and flavor of slow-cooked comfort food to events of every size. Our menu is intentionally focused around dishes that travel well, serve beautifully, and deliver the same quality whether we're feeding 20 guests or 200.

From our signature braised oxtail and beef short ribs to slow-cooked chicken, seasonal sides, and peach cobbler, every menu is built around generous portions, bold flavor, and food people remember.

Whether you're planning a corporate lunch, private celebration, wedding, or large-scale event, Braised makes feeding your guests simple.

CATERING MENU

SIGNATURE MAINS

Braised Oxtail

Our signature dish. Beef oxtail is seasoned and slowly braised for hours until exceptionally tender, allowing the meat to develop a deep, rich flavor and fall effortlessly from the bone. Finished in its own savory gravy for a bold, comforting dish that has been at the heart of the Braised menu from the beginning.

Braised Beef Short Ribs

Beef short ribs are seasoned and slowly braised until fork-tender, then finished with a rich house BBQ glaze. The long cooking process creates incredibly tender beef while allowing the sweet, smoky, and savory flavors of the sauce to penetrate every bite.

Slow-Cooked Chicken Wings

Seasoned chicken wings prepared low and slow until tender and flavorful, then finished to create the perfect exterior. A familiar crowd favorite elevated through the slow-cooking techniques at the center of the Braised concept.

Braised Duck

Duck slowly braised until tender while developing a rich, savory flavor throughout the meat. Carefully seasoned and paired with its natural braising juices, this dish provides an elevated option for guests looking for something beyond traditional catering proteins.

Chicken Pot Pie

Tender seasoned chicken and vegetables folded into a rich, creamy sauce and topped with our savory crust before being baked until golden. Familiar, comforting, and filling, our Chicken Pot Pie takes one of America's classic comfort dishes and gives it the Braised treatment.

Hachis Parmentier (Shepherd's Pie)

Our interpretation of the classic French comfort dish. Slow-cooked seasoned beef is prepared until rich and tender, layered beneath creamy mashed potatoes, and baked until beautifully golden. Think of it as an elevated French cousin to shepherd's pie—simple ingredients transformed through careful preparation and slow cooking.

Braised Short Rib Lasagna

Slow-braised beef short rib replaces traditional ground beef in our elevated interpretation of lasagna. Tender short rib is layered between pasta, rich sauce, and cheese before being baked together until bubbling and golden. Familiar enough to feel comforting, but distinctive enough to become a centerpiece of the table.

Who We Are

Kevin Lee is a professional mixed martial artist, entrepreneur, and the founder of Braised.

Kevin gained international recognition through his career competing at the highest levels of mixed martial arts, including fighting for the lightweight world championship in the UFC. His career has taken him around the world, where he has been exposed to a wide variety of cultures and cuisines that helped shape his appreciation for food.

Outside of fighting, Kevin developed a strong passion for cooking and hospitality, which led to the creation of Braised. The concept began as a small farmers market booth and later evolved into a food truck in South Florida, where it quickly gained a loyal following and demonstrated strong early demand despite operating with limited equipment, staff, and hours.

Kevin brings the same discipline, work ethic, and focus that defined his athletic career into building Braised as a restaurant brand. His goal is to create a concept centered around high-quality comfort food, simple operations, and a dining experience that can grow into multiple locations over time.

Through his personal brand, entrepreneurial mindset, and commitment to the concept, Kevin is focused on building Braised into a successful and scalable restaurant business.
