70th Birthday Party in St. Francisville

Last night, Heirloom Cuisine catered one of our favorite friend's 70th birthday party!  Chef Jason Roland served up his tasty Crispy Fried Plaquemines Parish Oysters, Chef-Breaded and Fried Louisiana Catfish Fingers, Fried Green Tomatoes with Shrimp Remoulade, Southwestern Veniso Queso with Homemade Tortilla Chips, Fig & Sugarcane Glazed Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon Peach Chutney and Homemade Sweet Potato Biscuits, Caprese Salad Skewers and Crawfish & Andouille Savory Cheesecake with Homemade Crostinis.
The guests ate the oysters and catfish as fast as we could fry them.  The hit of the night, though, was again those homemade toritilla chips.  They are the bomb.
The best part of having your event catered though is that the birthday boy (and family) had a ball, and Miss Janet doesn't have to clean a thing when she wakes up this morning! 
And, we catered their daughter's wedding 5 years ago and got to see that daughter last night... along with HER new daughter, Madeline.  It was soooo sweet and she has some beautiful blue eyes!

Reception at The Shaw Center for the Arts

Last night, Heirloom Cuisine catered an exquisite reception for Kappa Kappa Gamma on the 4th Floor River Terrace at the Shaw Center for the Arts.  The weather was beautiful and the guests arrived just as the sun was setting.  We served our to-die-for Crawfish & Roasted Corn Queso with Homemade Tortilla Chips, Shrimp Pasta with Roasted Shallots, Crimini Mushrooms and Parmesan Reggiano Cream Sauce, Fig & Sugarcane Glazed Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon Peach Chutney, a lovely Mediterranean Display with Baby Carrots with tops on, Homemade Hummus, Grilled Artichokes, Roasted Red Peppers and Roasted Artichoke Spread with Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese.  We also served a variety of cheeses to include a Fresh Fruit Display with Assorted Sliced and Whole Cheeses, Chef Jason Roland's own Mango Curry Cream Cheese Terrine with Praline Pecan Glaze and our Sundried Tomato Torte with Pesto and Pine Nuts.  Over 450 guests showed up to enjoy the evening!  Call us to book your next party at 225-784-0535!
