OUR HISTORY
The Fire Society was founded by Chef Tommy Halvorson in 2009 as a pop-up restaurant called
The Phoenix Supper Club. He started out by renting one 6 foot table in a shared kitchen and by 2019 had grown the business into a highly respected, full event production and catering company that came to encompass 5 brands. Though it might seem like the plan from the beginning was to create a large scale hospitality company, the truth is, every brand we created or acquired was an effort to create more consistent work in a famously inconsistent industry. From the beginning, the goal has been to build a great team and in order to build a great team, you have to have great jobs. In order to have great jobs, you have to have consistency! The desire to have a great team is what has driven our growth from the beginning.
After 11 years of working towards that goal every day, the pandemic came and took us back to zero in just two weeks’ time. However, from that professional devastation and largely due to our amazing team, we have been fortunate enough to find ourselves still in business. We reorganized ourselves, consolidated some of our processes and created a new business model that will fit our new reality. We are currently operating 4 brands out of our central location and look forward to what the future holds for our company and our awesome team of individuals that make us who we are!
