Margo’s Kosher Catering

Margo Ruby started her catering business in 1973 from her home on the south side of Jacksonville.  Over the years, Margo and her husband employed all 4 of their children, opened a restaurant, a bakery, and a gourmet shop, yet Margo never gave up on her passion for the catering business. Margo’s has catered for President Bill Clinton, Shimon Peres, the current President of Israel, Skitch Henderson, Benny Goodman and numerous local celebrities throughout Northeast Florida and Southern Georgia. She also catered on the Honey Fitz, a yacht used by various United States Presidents. In 2012, Margo Ruby retired from the catering business and passed on her legacy. 

Margo’s Catering is now owned and operated by her youngest son, Andrew and his wife Catrina. Andrew has worked with his mother since he was a teenager and was honored to continue Margo’s legacy. His talents in buffet designs, one of a kind fruit sculptures, menu creations, and the execution of the simplest events to the most elegant has far exceeded Margo’s dreams. Catrina has taken on the creative role of Head Pastry Chef, baking delectable confections from homemade chocolate chip cookies to three tiered wedding cakes. Along with her pastry duties she is also the Kitchen and Office Manager. Together they make the perfect culinary pair!

For the past 20 years, Margo’s Catering has returned to its roots, serving as the exclusive Kosher caterer for the Jacksonville Jewish Center.
