Herbeque Catering

Herbeque Catering is based in Port Saint Lucie and is run by Herb and Danielle Prince. In their 16th year attending the Marco Island Famer’s Market, the two serve an assortment of homemade barbeque, all cooked fresh onsite.

“We have beef brisket, pulled pork, smoked baby back ribs, smoked sausage, four cheese mac and cheese, baked beans and occasionally smoked turkey legs,” Prince says.

The couple leaves Port Saint Lucie every Tuesday/Wednesday at midnight to set up and start cooking at the Market by 3:30 AM each week.

“We use hickory wood exclusively,” Prince says. “Hickory is one of those expensive woods that doesn’t grow in Florida. It comes from North Carolina and is processed in Gainesville, where we pick it up. Hickory has a very mild, not pungent, flavor that it brings to all the different types of meat we cook.”

Prince says he has Marco residents who have been steady customers for years. “The city is great. We get to know people from every walk of life, from all over the world.”
