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. 

If, in the meantime, you need a personal chef, a cheesecake, lunches or any other food services from Chef Tre', here is her contact information:

Thanks again for attending and can't wait to see you at the next one.

Cheers and many, many thanks,
