Caribbean flavors meet
Slow-smoked meats, fish and Caribbean-marinated favorites, catered for your private events across the Tri-State area and beyond.
For more than 10 years, Shawn Vincent has been firing up his smokers for private gatherings, where friends and family kept coming back for another plate.
Half Haitian and half Jamaican, Shawn builds every cook on Caribbean marinades: bold, spicy, deeply seasoned flavor that soaks into the meat long before it meets the fire. Combined with the smoke from the different smokers he owns, the result is BBQ you won't find anywhere else.
In 2023, Shawn turned that passion into S-DOT Smoke, a catering company for private events. People love his food, and the business has grown fast by word of mouth.

From backyard birthdays to wedding receptions, S-DOT Smoke handles the food so you can enjoy your guests. Tell us about your event and we'll build a menu around it.
