Mobile Catering Services for Events in Rochester
Established in 1995, Mr V's Street Style Vending has become a cornerstone of the Greater Rochester food scene, specializing in American grilled favorites served from mobile carts and catering events. Our founder Jon Verno began with a single vending cart while pursuing broadcasting, but his passion for quality food and customer relationships quickly transformed this venture into a decades-long business. We serve thousands annually through lunch carts at Strong Hospital and Crittenden Blvd locations, while our event catering division accommodates gatherings from 75 to 500 guests. Our operation emphasizes fresh preparation, with every sandwich made to order using premium ingredients. Over 29 years, we've expanded to multiple lunchtime locations while maintaining the personal touch that defines our service philosophy.

Our team arrives early to ensure flawless setup, cooks to order during events, and handles cleanup to let clients enjoy their gatherings stress-free. We specialize in adapting to various event types, from casual festivals to formal black-tie affairs, while maintaining our signature street-style vending approach. Our commitment to quality extends to using fresh ingredients and homemade sauces, with all offerings prepared hot at the grill. We've developed systems to handle weather contingencies while maintaining food safety standards, and our 24/7 availability ensures we can accommodate last-minute requests. Our 25-year track record demonstrates our dedication to evolving with customer needs while maintaining the core values that built our reputation.
