Laurie here...

We've been asked a lot of questions lately... fielded a lot of messages, phone calls and emails.

The question? "Are you still catering?"

Yes! While we owned Country Sliced Ham and Cafe, our hearts were always in Doorstep Diner Catering. The sale of Country Sliced Ham and Cafe was made official on May 29, 2026, but we are NOT selling Doorstep Diner Catering.

In fact, the sale allows me to focus solely on serving my catering clients with exceptional cuisine and service. This allows me to expand on our international clients and I'll be meeting a new client in Helsinki, Finland next week!

We love serving you.. it's our passion.

Doorstep Diner Catering is an award winning caterer in Lincoln, NE. Weddings, events, corporate lunches, nonprofits, in home chef experiences, and family style take out meals, we are all things food and community! Let us bring our cuisine and expertise to your doorstep.

People often ask me why I chose Doorstep Diner Catering.

The answer is simple: I believe food brings people together. Whether it's a family celebration, a corporate event, or a community gathering, great food creates memories, starts conversations, and makes people feel cared for.

My "why" is serving others through hospitality. I love seeing the smiles, hearing the compliments, and knowing that our team helped make someone's special day a little more special. Even more importantly I am proud to offer employment and economic development in the Lincoln community. We believe in second chances. We believe in helping people get back on their feet in a supportive environment.
