Southern Food for Your Wedding

When brides come here to Coastal Georgia for their destination weddings, they are looking to incorporate some of the Southern beauty into their event vision.  Extending that vision to your menu is no different.  You can add special twists to your menu while enhancing the charm of southern fare.

 

Many couples choose to treat their guests to very elaborate meals to reflect their celebration.  One of the biggest staples in southern food is fried chicken, which can be done elegantly and uniquely for an unforgettable experience for your palate.  While most guests don’t expect to eat with their hands at weddings, this Lemon-Brined Fried Chicken by chef Thomas Keller  of Ad Hoc sounds delectable and well worth it!  The chef said that they only did friend chicken twice a month (every other Monday), but have now increased the frequency and expanded the menu due to the demand.  For those  looking for the real “down home taste”, opt for the buttermilk fried chicken recipe by Emeril.   If you’re looking for an intimate and engaging style reception, as your caterer or venue to provide the food in “family style service”.  Your servers will provide platters for each table of food, of which guests make their own plates and pass to each other.  It is similar to a buffet, since the caterer will keep the platters full, but guests aren’t forced to leave their table.  The key to serving something so simple is to amp up its presentation and taste.  With chefs Emeril and Keller’s recipes, we’ve got taste covered.  When served family style, look for platters, bowls, and other service items that are reflective of event vision.

Here in the Golden Isles, every year we have the Shrimp and Grits festival on Jekyll Island with chef demonstrations, concerts and so much more.  So needless to say, Shrimp and Grits are big in southern coastal cuisine.  There are several great recipes like this one by Tyler Florence and or this one by chef Eric Kelly.  With the many variations and serving styles (i.e., as a shooter, amuse bouche, or as a side or entree), the possibilities are endless.

 

Instead of rolls, opt for the Southern foodie favorite:  cornbread!  Cornbread can appeal to so many of your guests with variations of recipes like Paula Deen’s Vidalia Cornbread (seen above), Emeril’s Cast Iron Honey Cornbread, or this amazing recipe for jalapeno cornbread.  Can’t make a decision?  Offer them all!

 

Being an avid John Grisham fan, I distinctly remember reading about his protagonist in A Time to Kill eating fried dill pickles (seen above)  and I thought, “gross”!  A few days later I went to the House of Blues in L.A. with my family and tried some. Pure Heaven.  Since we don’t eat a lot of fried foods, these are some of the few things I will occasionally prepare.  Looking for something a bit more healthy?  Try Joe Vitale’s Fried Green Tomatoes with Bacon Vinaigrette and Warm Frisée.  Both would make for great food at your cocktail hour along with these Southern Cocktails.

There are so many other great ideas out there, by some of your favorite well known chefs like Louis Osteen’s Charleston Cuisine, Paula Deen’s Kitchen Classics: The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook and The Lady & Sons, Too!,  Patti LaBelle’s LaBelle Cuisine: Recipes to Sing About is phenomenal.  Her Over the Rainbow Macaroni and Cheese is the TRUTH.  We’re talking real mac and cheese, honey—the kind hat is not fixed in a pot but comes out of the oven.  And don’t forget Emeril’s Potluck: Comfort Food with a Kicked-Up Attitude.  These are just a few ideas to get you started.  Be reflective of your area—serve up local hot sauces and seasonings like Maryland’s Old Bay with your food, or garnishes, preserves, and drinks from the local area.  Food can inspire so much for the rest of your event vision, so go with what you love.

  • I’ve been browsing online greater than 3 hours nowadays,but I by no means discovered any fascinating article like yours.It’s pretty value sufficient for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as youprobably did, the net will be a lot more helpful than ever before.

  • Hey! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d
    ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
    My blog covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could
    greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel
    free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!
    Wonderful blog by the way!

  • Gern geschehen. Ich denke früher oder später kommt man an den Abenteuern nicht mehr vorbei, da sie fast die einzige Möglichkeit sind in den Leveln aufzusteigen. Das wird dir als Kauffrau dann aber auch gut helfen, weil du neue Waren produzieren kannst.Ich kann mich noch ganz gut daran erinnern, wie ich Bammel vor meinem ersten Abenteuer hatte. Wenn man das dann aber mal gemacht hat, ist es eigentlich gar nicht mehr so wild. Also immer ran an den Speck 🙂

  • I just like the helpful info you supply to your articles.
    I’ll bookmark your weblog and take a look at again right here frequently.
    I am quite certain I will learn plenty of new stuff right right here!
    Best of luck for the next!

  • The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    January 4, 2022 at 3:05 pm
  • Hi Dear, are you in fact visiting this web site daily, if so after
    that you will definitely take nice experience.

  • Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    January 4, 2022 at 9:14 pm
  • Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re
    using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time selecting
    between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    January 5, 2022 at 3:21 pm
  • This blog was… how do I say it? Relevant!!Finally I have found something which helped me. Cheers!

  • Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to
    get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance.

    I must say you have done a excellent job with this. Also,
    the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox.
    Exceptional Blog!

  • Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I
    was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form?
    I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one?
    Thanks a lot!

    January 6, 2022 at 9:27 pm
  • Hey there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using
    for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a
    good platform.

    January 7, 2022 at 4:27 pm
  • Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this,like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit,but instead of that, this is magnificent blog. A fantasticread. I will definitely be back.

    January 7, 2022 at 5:06 pm
  • certainly like your website but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your
    posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems
    and I find it very troublesome to inform the reality on the other hand I will definitely come
    again again.

    January 8, 2022 at 12:48 pm
  • Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended uplosing several weeks of hard work due to no data backup. Do youhave any solutions to prevent hackers?
