About A Spice of Life Catering
We are Boulder's catering company — family-run, locally rooted, and committed to one thing: making every client a guest at their own successful event.
Our story
Dave and Dan founded A Spice of Life in 1987 with a conviction that Boulder deserved a catering company built on real relationships, local ingredients, and genuine hospitality. The menu would change. The commitment would not.
Becky Davis and Penni Walsh carry that forward today. Same family spirit. Same Boulder roots. Still sourcing locally, still building menus around what each client actually needs, still treating every event as if it were their own.
Our team

Michael Poompan — Executive Chef
Michael leads our kitchen team, bringing creativity and precision to every menu. His focus on local and sustainable sourcing reflects the values A Spice of Life was built on.
What we stand for
- Quality — Ingredients sourced with intention. Menus built with care. Execution that holds up under pressure.
- Hospitality — Every guest, every time. We believe hospitality is the difference between a good event and a memorable one.
- Local & sustainable — We source from Colorado farms and producers whenever possible. Seasonal menus are not a trend for us — they are how we have always worked.
- Teamwork — Events are a team sport. Our staff, your team, and our vendor partners work together so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Creativity — No two events are alike. We bring fresh thinking to every menu and every setup.
