Thin Mint's Coca Cola Ham is destined for the top of Mt. Guiltmore

Crafting menus is one of the best parts of custom-to-the-client catering.  Each menu is different.  You listen, you research and you create.  It's a very exhausting and rewarding process.  Last evening, Thin Mint put together a terrific action station for a Wedding at the Olde Homstead Golf Club She put together a sensational selection of Guiltorious comfort that has greatness written all over it.

Her client now has a Biscuit Bar with Southern Biscuits, Sweet Potato Biscuits and Jalapeno Chive Biscuits.OMG!  They sound awesome, but the real showstopper are the two toppings that Thin Mint added.  Our Executive Chef went back into our culinary vault and chose two eternal classics. Thin Mint's client will have Chef Bruce's famous Chicago Bears sausage gravy. We have had many chef's over the years prepare this slice of the South and very few do it justice.  We're not sure why, but it's a good test of their cooking skills. No one even comes close to matching Bruce's heavenly creation.  It's incredible.

However, my beautiful bride climbed Guilty Peak with her Coca Cola glazed spiral ham. This slow-smoked Country Ham was worthy of being on Mt. Guiltmore.  The salty flavor combined with the soda's sweetness is the ideal accompaniment to the flaky biscuits. Thin Mint's Guiltness Greatness is always appreciated.

September Breezes are what pleases.

Guilty loves September and with good reason.  The Indian Summer weather is spectacular, business is booming and our kitchen is a creative playground. That's because the chefs love to make epicurean magic when seasons start to change.  Cool breezes flow and the vibe at the work table is inspiring.  From the Gourmet store to the campus to the Holiday table or to a pregame meal, our incredible food is always the star of the show.

Once Labor Day is in the rear view mirror, the month of September is filled with non-stop activity.  There are so many enjoyable ways to savor this moment in time.  My favorite Guilty pleasure is settling into my well worn recliner on Sunday to enjoy a football feast watching the Super Bowl Champs show great character.  For Guilty, game time is a gastronomic journey that starts off with flavorful lunch, like a Carrot and Caribbean lobster soup.  Topped with fresh Basil, this tasty dish from St. Martin is always a touchdown.

Of course, there's more to enjoy than a bowl of soup.  Living well means spoiling yourself and the one's you love.  My first course is usually scarfed down by the end of the first quarter.

The main course is always a game changer.  This Sunday I have an appointment scheduled with Dr. Rib and his famous Barbecue sauce.  Almost Jerk and not quite Memphis, this secret sauce is Guilty to the max.

Guilty loves September.
