All of the dishes were delicious but I particularly recommend the Crab Cakes and the Shrimp & Chicken Etouffee. I had initially thought about catering the party myself but NOLA Girl's cooking is better than mine and has genuine cajun flair and flavor. Costs are competitive relative to the other caterers we considered; communication was excellent and food delivery was very prompt. Finally, the dishes are generously sized and we loved the left-overs! THANK YOU!

The shrimp might have been too spicy without the bread. Bonus that you get a choice between chips & creamy potato salad. I will definitely start stalking this truck around NOLA

I've grown away from not wanting my food to touch lol (I'm lying - I'm still like this about certain foods )... but - when a chef can marry flavors the way @chef_tasha put these together Lordt, who'd want anything different?! Everything was phenomenal on its own but when eaten together, at once, just lift me off the floor. We started with a crisp German white and some FIYAH! gulf #bbqshrimp, then moved on to the juiciest, most savory salmon with @chef_tasha's delicious sweet chili sauce *cooked on* + sauteed brussels and thick bacon + very mildly sweetened, so true to their flavor, mashed sweet potatoes topped with fresh green onions. Y'all!!!! To. Die. For! @chef_tasha came with everything she needed to prepare our meal and we provided an equipped kitchen. She was timely, had our meal ready quickly, and, frankly was wonderful company during our meal. Did I mention that she's the most recommended private chef since @whereblacknolaeats started??! Listen. You don't have to take my word. Or the 30K+ members whose recs contributed to this amazing recognition. But I can guarantee you that when you book her, you'll see for yourself. Idk who else has had this meal, but I'm calling it mine. So when you order, tell her you'd like "Jalence's Dinner".

I found myself in the particular position to need to hire caterers this year. This is an experience…read morecompletely new to me, so I was quite nervous and didn't really know what I was doing. I put some feelers out on ThumbTack and I was so very lucky to have Justin from Toulouse Gourmet respond to my request. I needed food for about 50 people for a luncheon. When Tiffany arrived with the food, I was so nervous because it didn't seem like it was going to be enough food. But once we opened the trays, the food just kept coming! I honestly was reminded of the story of the loaves and fishes. And it was all DELICIOUS! Everyone raved about the jambalaya. I think it might have been my favorite since getting here. Anyway..... Fast forward a few months and I needed a caterer again, but this time for heavy appetizers for an evening event for 150 people. Justin gave me a terrific estimate that I was very comfortable with. Tiffany once again delivered the food right on time and helped me set up. They also provided disposable plates and forks and napkins and serving utensils. The food was OUTSTANDING! Andouille Puffs, teriyaki meatballs, hummus and pita.....all of the food was delicious. The entire party couldn't stop talking about the food. And the doberge mini cakes??? Ridiculous. So good!! Justin and Toulouse will be a regular go-to for our events. Excellent food and outstanding service make for a delightful catering experience. Thank you!!!

During this time of social distancing, Joel Catering and Special Events has created a meal delivery…read moreservice where there is contactless delivery. They even consulted with sanitation experts and implemented procedures to keep their team and our food safe. All you have to do is place your order online through their link, tell them which day you want your food items delivered, and when in route they will contact you to let you know. They have so many delicious options on their menu, you can choose from their family dinner specials which feeds up to four people or you can choose from their kitchen essentials collection. I got a mixture of both, and they did not disappoint. Every week I was looking to see what they added to their menu, if you are a true foodie like me then you understand. From the pulled pork Cochon de Lait with mac n cheese, to the chicken and andouille gumbo everything was packed with so much flavor. Hands down they have the best hot spinach dip I have ever tried, so rich. Let's not forget about dessert, the brownies were so fudgy, I put them in the microwave for about fifteen seconds and they literally melted in my mouth. The staff is so nice and friendly, very professional. I'm looking forward to seeing what they cook up next.
