Super excited to talk about what's going on at the Fat Cat!

First, we had a wonderful celebration of life here and birthday celebration on Saturday for Warren Davis Lewis, husband of Adena Lewis. She said he would want a party and that is just what they put on. She and her incredible children put on a crawfish party with lots of food and we had good music and just a wonderful time! I was just so blessed to be able to help make memories for them.

Please don't forget that we are available for parties, celebrations, weddings etc. I'll also open for a party of 10 or so if you want to do a nice private dinner or lunch and I think you’ll be surprised at how affordable it is. Just call me, Lori @281-236-8007

I'm starting to cook for the Wine dinner this weekend! I have some spots left so please call me for reservations.

Roasted Pork Belly from my farm served with Valckenberg Pinot Blanc
(Valckenberg is one of the oldest wineries in Germany and have been making wine since 1786. Their wines are amazing and a great representation of fine German Wines)
Burrata Salad with Pinot Noir from the Fableist out of Santa Barbara County.
( This wine delivers an alluring bouquet of ripe red fruits, particularly strawberry and cherry, intertwined with delicate floral notes of rose petals and violets. Subtle hints of earthy mushroom and a touch of spice add intrigue. Perfect with soft cheeses)
Roasted Pork Prime Rib served with Black Eyed Peas (with Ham from my farm) and Creamed Spinach from my farm. Served with Cune Rioja Crianza.
(Cune is a fifth generation winery and this wine aged for a minimum of a year in Oak casks and five years in the bottle making it smooth and elegant with a dry finish)
Creamy Lemon Creme Brulé served with Ca'Bolani Prosecco
(This is a true Italian DOC Prosecco with enticing scents of Lemon, green apple and fresh flowers. White and persistent mousse with a very fine perlage. Pleasantly fruity on the nose with good aromatic intensity and a hint of wisteria blossom and rennet apple.

Four Courses and Four Glasses of wine for 79.95pp
Saturday April 18th at 6:30pm
Limited to 20 people and there are a few spots available because I spent so much time working Jamboree last week. Call or text me for any other details and to make reservations 281-236-8007 Lori
