Put a little South in your mouth

Main Course co-owner, Rachel Main, was raised in southern Louisiana, so you can probably imagine just how much fun she has when given the opportunity to create a catering menu for a Southern themed event. Recently, she had one of these opportunities, and boy did she have fun with it.

The wedding took place at Twin Peaks Ranch in the beautiful Ojai valley. Guests were greeted with Lavender Iced Tea, Lemon Water, and Sparkling Peach Spritzers before the ceremony.

Fried GreenTomatoes

During cocktail hour, guests enjoyed Fried Green Tomatoes with black eyed pea salsa & ranch dressing (see photo above) and Feta, Mint & Local Honey served in ice-cold water melon cups.

Family Style Table Setting

Dinner was served family style, and included Buttermilk Biscuits & Sweet Cream Butter, Grilled Peaches with basil & honey, Slow-Braised Boneless Chili Shortribs, and Stewed Southern Greens with sweet & sour raisins. And then there was the dessert buffet...s’mores next to the Fire, Chocolate Fudge Wedding Cakes, Buttermilk Pie & Strawberries, and more. If you want to read more, here is the full menu.
