Our Story: The Heart of Grateful Griddle
Grateful Griddle was born out of a passion for delicious food and memorable celebrations. Based in Columbus, OH, we focus exclusively on catering private events, ensuring that every wedding, corporate party, and gathering is filled with joy and satisfaction. Our mission? To provide unforgettable flavors and a warm, welcoming experience for you and your guests.
From Dream to Reality
Grateful Griddle is more than just a food truck — it's a celebration of great food, great music, and unforgettable moments. Founded by Lance, a former stock and options trader of 24 years, the concept was born from his passion for backyard barbecues, entertaining friends, and creating amazing meals that bring people together. Inspired by his travels around the world sampling the best in global cuisine, Lance brings his expertise in smash burgers and gourmet sandwiches to Columbus, OH, with a unique twist.
Fueled by his love for the Grateful Dead, Ohio State Buckeyes, and a passion for great service, Lance has made Grateful Griddle the go-to food truck for catering private and corporate events, festivals, and community gatherings. From tailored menus to unforgettable vibes, Grateful Griddle delivers more than meals — it’s an experience of connection, flavor, and fun
