A True Roux's Wedding

Natalie and Robert's oldest son, Matthew, got married on January 15, 2011 to his beautiful bride, Hilary. The Marbury Center was the obvious choice for their afternoon reception and every detail was perfect. Of course, Matthew, growing up in the Roux's kitchen, literally had his hands in a lot of their menu for that day! He and his bride requested their personal favorite, brisket, at the carving station. Their other menu choices were just as delicious including our house smoked salmon, a hot chocolate bar and a macaroni and cheese bar....just to name a few. The most special item we served that day was their wedding cake. Matthew wanted to make their wedding cake so with the help of Robert and Damion (our head chef) they tested many recipes, baked the cake to perfection and the Matthew personalized it.
What a beautiful day for the Roux's family!

It's fun to get a shout out!

We have definitely enjoyed jumping on the social media bandwagon with facebook, e-newsletters and now this blog, but we often wonder who is reading it and what they are thinking.
So....how much fun was it to receive an email today from The Metro Spirit's Insider that included some information in their "business bite" section on our recent FB, e-newsletter and blog update about our totes filled with Get and Go goodies. We appreciate the shout out and the fact that they passed along all of our information to their readers.

Tote Roux's around this Summer!

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go!
Well, our bags aren't packed, but we hope yours are getting packed for lots of fun trips this Summer! We will make the most of our days off but will be busy catering lots of weddings.
We have loved using these totes to send off our wedding couples at the end of their reception. We think they are so cute and durable that they would be great to pack for trips to the pool, lake and beach filled with all your goodies.

Twisted Compliments!!!

This is our Spicy Pimento Cheese with Fire Roasted Red Peppers which is served to our guests on top of subtly sweet toasted cornbread brochettes. When these are passed at an event, the trays quickly turn up empty!
We recently passed these during the cocktail hour before a Rehearsal Dinner, and the hostess remarked that her guests were really enjoying them. One guest in particular asked her if it was the Fresh Market's Pimento Cheese because that was her all time favorite....we'll take that as a compliment since we are sure Roux's will be her new favorite!!!

Time Flies........

Time flies when you are having fun, or in our case when we are making sure our guests are having fun!
It feels like Roux's has been in fast forward since Masters Week. We caught our breath for a day or two....but the show must go on. With weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, corporate luncheons, parties, our show definitely had to go on.
We hope to post some pictures from Masters Week and many of our Spring weddings that have been so beautiful.....when we have time!!! Stay tuned..........
