Terra Catering is a full-service San Diego catering and event planning company on El Cajon Boulevard in College Area, founded in 1998 by cookbook author and farm-to-table chef Jeff Rossman. The operation at 7091 El Cajon Blvd in the 92115 ZIP functions as both a commissary kitchen and event coordination headquarters, and Rossman remains directly involved in menu development for every booking. The same El Cajon Boulevard international dining corridor that runs through College Area also hosts D Z Akin's in Grantville, and Terra draws from that multi-cuisine environment to build menus spanning Indian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, and California farm-to-table preparations. As a division of the Terra Hospitality Group, the company handles weddings, corporate functions, and private celebrations for groups ranging from intimate dinner parties to events exceeding 1,000 guests. Each event receives a custom menu rather than a fixed catering package, and the kitchen has produced culturally specific work including Passover seder plates with gefilte fish, matzo ball soup, and chile-braised brisket. Full-service packages include delivery, setup, cleanup, bartenders, servers, cake cutting, cocktail reception staffing, and rental coordination for tables, chairs, linens, flatware, and glassware. Rossman's published cookbook is available for purchase through the company's online ordering portal alongside weekly prepared meal options and house-made dressings. Terra's event planning arm coordinates with venues across the county, including performance and reception spaces near SDSU such as the Joan B. Kroc Theatre in College Area. Spanish-language service is available for consultations and on-site event staffing.
