Catering by
Jon Shook &
Vinny Dotolo.
Before the restaurants, there was the catering company. Animal, Son of a Gun and Jon & Vinny’s came from here.
01 / The beginning
The catering company
came first.
Fifteen events a week out of a storefront on Fairfax. That was 2007, a year before Animal. Carmelized Productions started in 2004. The restaurants followed. The catering never stopped.
