Monday Night Reception at Historic Private Home

Monday night, Heirloom Cuisine, LLC catered a reception at a private home in the rolling hills of Historic St. Francisville where we tray passed our fabulous Applewood Smoked Bacon, Caramelized Onion & Gruyere Cheese Tarts, Crispy Fried Plaquemines Parish Oysters with Homemade Remoulade Sauce, Kettle Roasted Sweet Potato Tarts with New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp.  The buffet items were served on the hostess's antique dining table and included Mardi Gras Coleslaw, Crispy Fried Louisiana Catfish with Homemade Tartar Sauce and Hushpuppies, Smoked Chicken & Andouille Sausage over Rice, Smoked Angus Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Sauce and New Orleans Style Bread Pudding with Whiskey Creme Anglaise.  The hosting company's color was baby blue, so Heirloom Cuisine tied baby blue ribbon around linen napkins, holding the fork and soup spoon.  Chafers were set on baby blue overlays to accent the company's colors.  The party was a smashing success!
