Postcard from Las Vegas

We just got back from a great trip to Las Vegas, where we were entertained at every turn (especially by our new baby nephew that we were visiting). One of the highlights of our trip was a visit to Cardenas Market, where Billy picked up nearly every dried chile he could find, as well as a pint of guacamole which was later confiscated by TSA on our way home. (Yes, we wept.) That aside, we ate well throughout Las Vegas - arepas, tacos, noodles, empanadas - all under clear blue sunny skies. It was amazingly rejuvenating.

Inspired by our time in Las Vegas, we're offering a menu this weekend featuring some of the chiles we purchased, and then other things we think you might want to eat during this chilly time of year. Please order by Friday, March 15, for a pickup of Saturday, March 16. Pickup will be at our house in Bradford, 10 AM-12 PM.

Menu:
Enchiladas rojas
Vermont Cassoulet
Split Pea & Ham Soup

See you this weekend!

More beignets - and a meet and greet!

We are overjoyed by the response to this week's offering. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and support. We nearly sold out of everything on Monday! Just one jambalaya and ramen remain available.

We are planning something special for this Saturday. We have added more beignets for pre-order because we're hosting a meet and greet with Ryan Rebozo (https://sites.google.com/view/ryanrebozo/home) , a candidate running for Bradford's selectboard, during our pickup window!

Come meet Ryan (https://sites.google.com/view/ryanrebozo/home) on Saturday at our house at 295 N Main from 10 AM-12 PM. Pre-order your beignets and hang out by the fire in our front yard, where you can ask Ryan why he wants to serve as one of Bradford's elected officials. This will be a great opportunity for Bradford residents to learn more about the candidate ahead of the March 5, 2024 election.

As a reminder, please order by Friday, February 23, for a pickup of Saturday, February 24. Pickup will be at our house in Bradford, 10 AM-12 PM. Look for the Beignets sign by the street. We're doubling our batch of beignet dough so there will probably be plenty for cash sales as well.

Menu:
Jambalaya with chicken, sausage and Tasso ham (GF, DF)
Vegetarian Ramen (DF)
Beignets

Bradford residents especially, we hope to see you this weekend! Come hang out even if beignets are not your thing!

Beignets this weekend!

Hello! Have you missed us? We miss you! We are popping in to let you know that we are open for business this coming Saturday, February 24.

It's admittedly a little late to offer you a Mardi Gras menu, but we are past the midpoint of winter, and that is something worth celebrating! We will be offering beignets, jambalaya, and a new dish: vegetarian homemade ramen noodles served with a mushroom miso broth and vegetables.

Please order by Friday, February 23, for a pickup of Saturday, February 24. Pickup will be at our house in Bradford, 10 AM-12 PM.

Long time, no see!

It's been awhile! We were busy this summer with big and small catering gigs, a super birthday party for Charlie, and family visiting, so we never got around to offering any menus for pickup. Then with a new job, we've been settling into a new rhythm. Now with the chilly weather we are ready to start cooking for you all!

For Thanksgiving, will you have family or friends in town visiting? Are you laying low and taking some well-deserved rest? Whatever the case, why not let us cook for you? We've put together a menu of dishes that we think work nicely anytime, before, during, and/or after your Thanksgiving feast. Folks ask us a lot about the Chicken Étouffée, so we're headlining that, plus a lovely luxe bisque that will go nicely on the Thanksgiving table. And biscuits - because biscuits go with everything.

The routine will be a little different this time. We ask that you order by Saturday, November 18, at 12 PM, for a pickup of Wednesday, November 22. Pickup will be at our house in Bradford. Billy's sister will be visiting from New Orleans and she may well be running your food out when you pick up!

Menu for Wednesday, November 22 (preorder by Saturday, November 18):

This coming Saturday is our final takeout menu for the foreseeable future, so order yourself some of our delicious New Orleans style fried chicken, seasoned with hot sauce and spices. And while you're at it, how about picking up a quart jar of ketchup? Many of you have asked for it, so Billy has canned up our homemade spicy ketchup to keep your refrigerator well stocked.

We'll be back in the summer and who knows, maybe even before with occasional offerings as our schedules allow. Thank you so much for your support this month. Starting off the new year cooking for you all is our pleasure!

Menu for Saturday, January 28:

Fried Chicken Family Box with cornbread and spicy ketchup

Food for pickup this Saturday!

Billy is one of the rare people that seems energized this time of year. He's been cooking a lot and experimenting with a candy recipe, which we might be able to offer our meal subscribers a taste of by the end of the month. As promised, we will offer food for pickup a couple of Saturdays this January. First one: this coming Saturday, January 14!

We'll have boxes of homemade brioche cinnamon buns (a really fantastic breakfast or mid-afternoon treat) and easy-to-reheat dinner options as well. Our friend Jared has been asking for the Chicken Étouffée, so here it is. As for the treat: the picture below of the supremely delicious plated cinnamon bun is not what you'll be getting exactly - yours will be have more frosting and be larger. One of these days we'll get more professional with our food photos. But just to give you an idea...

Menu for Saturday, January 14:

Chicken Étouffée with a side of brown rice (quart)
Chickpea Stew with a side of brown rice (quart)
Box of Brioche Cinnamon Buns (3)

Hope you're all doing well! See you soon.
