Southern
Buffet
"Being the progeny of a New York, N. Y. born father and a New Orleans, Louisiana born mother I was blessed to be exposed to the entire gamut of cooking styles and seasonings ranging from the Louisiana bayous to mid-town Manhattan. Some of the dishes listed below were inspired by both sides of the family. The offered items include dishes that have been handed down in my family from generation to generation. Our style of Southern cooking has used diverse cooking methods and seasonings to capture the essence of the foods of Africa, Spain, France, South America and the Caribbean islands. The amalgamation of such diverse cultures is the essence of cooking that has come to be known as Southern cooking."
