About Us
Where Reliability Meets Culinary Excellence
Hanna Brothers is a premier culinary and hospitality company known for delivering world-class catering, production-level dining, and innovative food services across film, television, corporate, and large-scale event environments. Grounded in a commitment to quality, consistency, and memorable guest experiences, the company has become a trusted partner for some of the biggest studios, brands, and organizations in the country.
How We Got Here
Our Story
THE BEGINNING…
Founded by brothers Joe and Jim Hanna, the company began with a shared passion for exceptional food and genuine hospitality. What started as a small, family-driven venture quickly expanded as the brothers began building a reputation for reliability, elevated cuisine, and the ability to execute at scale. Their early success set the tone for a business rooted in strong values, culinary craft, and a commitment to treating every client like family.
NEW ORLEANS
The Hanna Brothers story is deeply connected to New Orleans, where they honed their craft in one of America’s most vibrant culinary capitals. The city’s rich food culture—steeped in tradition, bold flavors, and creative expression influenced their approach to cooking and hospitality. New Orleans provided the foundation for their signature style, blending authentic Southern warmth with elevated cuisine that would later become a hallmark of their brand.
FAYETTEVILLE
Seeking to grow their operation and serve a quickly expanding client base, Hanna Brothers later relocated part of their business to Fayetteville, Georgia. This strategic move placed them at the heart of a booming film and media hub while allowing them to build a state-of-the-art campus with advanced production kitchens and scalable operations. The move enabled the company to broaden its services and support major productions with speed, precision, and quality.
TRILITH STUDIOS & BEYOND…
Hanna Brothers’ partnership with Trilith Studios marked an important milestone, positioning them as a premier provider of studio-level dining and catering services for some of the world’s largest film and television productions. Their acclaimed “HB at Trilith” dining experience became a benchmark for on-lot hospitality. Today, Hanna Brothers continues to expand nationwide, bringing their signature blend of culinary excellence, operational strength, and hospitality-first culture to new cities, studios, and corporate partners across the country.
