Last week we had the opportunity to
cater a wonderful pre-concert reception at the beautiful Ships of the Sea
Museum here in Savannah GA.
As the concert was a Zydeco concert I
just felt I had to do a menu that featured some Cajun food. We set up under the Gazebo in the Scarborough
Garden with a tent next to that for the guests.
It was a windy, chilly evening with some light rain. PERFECT weather for our Bordreaux’s Zydeco
Stomp Gumbo, over white rice. We toned
the heat down a bit, but we had nary a spoonful left. We used our eco-friendly bamboo plates and utensils made from cornstarch.
A few other items on the menu were our
Spicy black bean cakes with lime sour cream, Crawfish spread on baguette, Cajun
meatballs in peach bbq sauce (those were also a bit hit with the spicy/sweet
flavour profile).
We pulled our Two State Pulled Pork
Station out again (no pun intented!) – delicious, tender butts pulled to order,
served on biscuits with coleslaw (sorta like a Redneck reuben if you will) and
a choice of our housemade bbq sauce (tomato based) and a South Carolina bbq
sauce which is yellow mustard based.
Our Drunken brownies were once again
popular, though the Cajun cake with caramel pecan sauce gave it a run for 1st
place.
We so enjoyed hearing the band tune up
in the North Garden next door. A
wonderful evening!
