Sweetest Chefs of the South 2016

  I had the great pleasure of being asked to compete in the Sweetest Chefs of the South this past weekend in Ridgeland, Mississippi.  To answer your question no I did win, but I did get to take my lovely assistant Ella to her first work event!  The setting was beautiful.  It took place at The Lake House and we served about 400 hungry people.  I made lavender and goat cheese panna cotta with local honey.  I must say I thought mine was pretty amazing, but it may have been a little out there for this crowd.  My dear friend Brian arranged my lovely flower display and Ella helped me assemble and place 300 wooden spoons in every mason jar.
  All in all winner or looser the evening was a success!  I was able to showcase a Lola dessert that is loved by many and I got to spend a little QT with my sweet daughter.

  We started a supper club about 10 months ago and I am just getting around to sharing on the Lola blog!  Where to start.. I guess the beginning!

  The lola supper club is the brain child of Keith and me (Nealy) this is our outlet to be super creative and serve our food family style and in a fun, party like setting.  We have a theme that goes with every dinner and it remains a secret until the night of the event.  We have done anything from low country food to soul food.  For new years we did a roaring twenties theme and everyone came dressed up and the food was twenties theme inspired.  There is not a detail missed for our supper club meals.  We typically serve family style and do anywhere from 30-60 people.  We have three signature cocktails for the evening a welcome drink to start.* see notes
