Despite the modern grocery system allowing for fruits and vegetables to be available year round, as far as we are concerned seasonality still reigns supreme. Fruit trays are a prime example. May - September, we love beautiful fruit trays for brunches and ladies’ lunches, but in January I am going to try and sell my clients yogurt parfaits with stewed fruit or açaí. Not because the fruit is not available, but because it’s just not great. The same can be said for tomatoes. We sell a Southern Caprese Salad which is awesome in August and September, when I can get local heirloom tomatoes. Watermelon and feta salad is a summer side when the fruit is at its peak. Just because it is available doesn’t mean it necessary belongs on a menu all year round.

We’ve been enjoying the heat of summer from the comfort of the air conditioning while photos from our spring and summer weddings roll in.

We started our season with a bang and a lot of caffeine! Espresso martinis for the win - the perfect dance floor pick me up!

It’s appetizer season! Between open houses, parties, and weddings, we have been busy stuffing rolling and skewering all the things! These Greek Marinated Chicken Skewers and a spring and summer favorite with Feta Tzatziki Dip.

It’s Derby day in Kentucky! We love this table setting our bride and her mother designed for her wedding last September. Instead of a traditional water glasses, they collected vintage Derby glasses from family and friends. A fun twist on something borrowed!

I often get asked what is our specialty, and my answer is always elevated Southern food with a large jigger of bourbon. Lots of grits and homemade mac and cheese. Scratch made biscuits and tomato jam.

These are our bourbon barrel ale braised beef short ribs over roasted garlic kale with to***co onion straws. It’s one of our most popular plated options, and one that will make an appearance frequently over wedding season that starts this Saturday!

My mom grew up mostly in Texas, and her mother, my grandmother, made biscuits by feel, White Lily self-rising flour, shortening, and buttermilk. And while she grew up on biscuits, I grew up on yeast bread. It wasn’t until I moved to Kentucky and started catering that learning how to make perfectly flaky and tender biscuit became a goal.

I think we have mastered it, and now we make scratch cream biscuits, best with just a touch of honey butter, herbed biscuits that I think make the best BLTs with thick-cut, smoky bacon, arugula, and tomato jam, or these sweet potato biscuits with country ham and peach pepper jelly.

With the first two days of Keeneland behind us, we know that wedding season is right around the corner, and that means all the passed appetizers.

We’re always adding fun new options, and one of our favorites from last year was a beef carpaccio crostini - thinly sliced rare beef tenderloin on toasted naan with caper and roasted garlic aioli and shaved Parmesan and arugula.

Let’s talk about the sweet stuff. We frequently get asked about wedding cake and the short answer is we don’t make them but we happily cut them and we don’t charge a fee to do so. What we do make are kitchen desserts - cookies, brownies, bars, trifles …. For most our of corporate and social events we do an alternates dessert either as a station or preset. Here we have New York Cheesecake with Triple Berry Sauce and Flourless Chocolate Cake with Bourbon Caramel and Candied Pecans.

❤️❤️❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️❤️❤️

We have been busy with tastings, proposals and contracts for this upcoming wedding season and 2026! We still have a few dates left on 2025 and would love to talk if you are newly engaged!

I have a theory regarding weather and weddings. When couples are planning winter weddings in the summer months, they forget that we do have periods of sub-freezing temperatures in January, February, and March, exhibit A being right out my front door, with round 2 (or 3) headed to central Kentucky today.

The inverse is true about summer weddings planned in January. Yes, likely it is going to be more than warm if you are planning a barn wedding in Kentucky in June, July, and August. That said, if we are going to be outdoors, we’d rather do that in the spring, summer, and fall than in the winter months.
Here’s to staying warm and safe as we keep dreaming about all the warm sunny days we will be celebrating weddings in 2025!
