BBQ Zilla Catering

Roasted in the husk, on site

Corn roast catering in Toronto

Sweet corn roasted in its own husk at your event, peeled back and buttered in front of your guests. The cheapest way we know to turn a gathering into an occasion.

Why it lands

It's the smell that does it

Roasting corn in the husk carries further than anything else we cook. People wander over from across the venue before they've decided to be hungry. Then they watch the husk come back, the butter go on, and eat something they've probably not had since they were a kid at a fair.

In the husk

Corn roasts inside its own husk, which steams the kernels in their own moisture instead of drying them out over flame.

Peeled to order

We pull the husk back into a handle as each ear comes off. Nothing is peeled and left waiting.

Buttered in front of you

Real butter, salt and pepper, applied on the spot. That's the standard serve — no upgrade needed.

Toppings bar

Or go past the butter

Add the toppings bar for $2 per person and guests dress their own. It slows the line slightly and it is always worth it — people go back for a second ear just to try a different one.

Butter, salt & pepper

Included as standard. Still the one most people come back for.

Street corn style

Creamy sauce, crumbled cheese, lime and chili powder.

Parmesan & herb

Grated parmesan, cracked pepper and chopped herbs.

Chili lime

Lime juice, chili flakes and a pinch of salt. Sharp and clean.

Garlic butter

Roasted garlic folded through soft butter.

Hot honey

Chili-infused honey over butter. Sweet then warm.

Minimum order $1,400 before tax. At $7 a head that's around 200 guests, so corn roasts are usually booked either for a big crowd or alongside one of our BBQ packages.

Two ways to book it

On its own, or bolted onto a BBQ

Standalone corn roast

The roaster is the whole attraction. Works for festivals, fun fairs, block parties, fall fairs and community days where people are grazing rather than sitting down to a meal.

Added to a BBQ

Book the $25 BBQ package and run the corn roast alongside it. It gives the queue something to do, and it's the thing people photograph.
