I hired Ericka as the caterer for my 50th birthday, to feed 72 people. She was able to accommodate the vegetarians and vegans in my group with a vegan falafel po'boy sandwich. The rest of us omnivores had fried chicken (made fresh on-site), chicken with gravy, jambalaya, and red beans & rice with smoked turkey. There were plenty of side dishes too: grilled veggies, roasted potatoes, cajun corn on the cob, and a salad that included berries. When I mentioned that I wanted ice cream sundaes for dessert, Ericka cooked bananas foster as a tasty topping, along with chocolate and caramel sauces, whipped cream and cherries. What I heard over & over from my guests was how much they loved the food! Our family did too! My mouth is watering remembering how good it was.
