Food: A Personal Favorite

Chef Hunter Lee

Let’s get shakin’

I have had so many people ask about some of my recipes, and specialties, my chef created recipes and those we have found used and trusted through the years so here you are. Each week we post a column in multiple papers across Louisiana and East Texas, we also post the column on our Facebook page here.  Feel free to comment (we love the feed back) try the recipes, share our page with your friends. Most of these recipes are used or have been used throughout our years of catering and entertaining. 

This weeks is a personal favorite and one we have tweaked through the years. It’s one that some people have found strange BUT almost everyone ends up falling in love with. I have had so many request for this one so without further a due.
