Ratatouille!!! I know most of you’ve seen the movie, but if you ever actually eaten or made it? Alex gave it a try over the weekend and it sure was delicious. Layers of squash, eggplant and tomato with a yummy red sauce, so good! And so pretty! #ratatouille #vegetarian #eggplant #squash #tomato

Did you know that when we do whole hog catering, we decorate it just as we would for a competition. And then we stand and hand pull the pork and put it directly on your guest’s plates as they pass through the buffet line!

Book your holiday parties today!!
