Pre-Saints Sunday Mimosa Brunch
Well, brunch was a TOTAL success and I'd like to thank EVERYONE who came out. We realize the timing was a little off, but we think we have the logistics down for next time. Everything Chef Tre' made was delicious and sinful. If you missed out on the caramel-pecan cheesecake, you missed the hell out!!!
I definitely want to thank @Sherinola for opening up her beautiful house to us and her kitchen to Tre' and for being a gracious host and keeping our glasses full all afternoon. Also, I would like to give a special thanks to @Julseybean for supplying us with the champagne flutes and the serving trays and silverware. It would not have been a success without you!
Thanks, also, to everyone who brought champagne and/or orange juice. The mimosas flowed like water! Also, take a tip from @MuseLotus: substitute tangerine juice for orange juice in your next mimosa - totally amazing, you won't be sorry.
I'm so happy we have been able to give this awesome woman a chance to start living out her real life. She told a crowd of us, "They just didn't appreciate what I did in Birmingham," and everyone assured her that the people of New Orleans will always appreciate food, especially the likes of what she made us. The menu had vanilla--rum spiced French toast, cheese grits, crispy bacon, a delicious bacon/potato scramble, and eggs with egg toppings, among other things.
At the end of the day, Chef Tre' walked away with an awesome take-home pay and promised to take her daughter/sous chef Kyra to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. It was a fantastic day, topped off with a maddening, heart-attack-inducing win by the Saints. Who dat!!!!!
I hope we can continue to do great things for Chef Tre'. If you weren't able to attend this brunch, please, please, PLEASE make plans to attend the next one, which @Julseybean will be hosting in November.
