Jay Jay’s Good Food Truck

December 3rd, 2009

Have you seen Jay Jay’s Good Food Truck?

Jay Jay’s is the newest venture for our chef/owner Jason McConnell. This truck has a full mobile kitchen with everything that you would find in a typically restaurant kitchen – ovens, flat top, stove, sinks, fryers, coolers, etc. Our kitchen on wheels makes it possible to bring the freshest and tastiest foods to your event no matter the location.

Not only is Jay Jay’s great for catering events we are serving out of it at different venues during lunch and late night. If you have a spot you would like to see us contact us for more information.

Sara & Ben’s Carnton Wedding

October 27th, 2009

October 10th we had the pleasure of working with Sara & Ben and their gorgeous wedding at Carnton Plantation.

Flowers were done by the amazing Bonnie at Belles Fleurs with vases full of apples, HUGE mums, and beautiful fall colors this really added to the feel of the event.

The lighting in the tent by Nashville Event Lighting made the “plain white tent” seem magical & romantic.

And the amazing cupcake display by Cakes by Rebecca, YUM!

The mini cheeseburgers were a huge hit with all the guests.

Tennessee Walking Horse Celebration 2009

September 17th, 2009

Red Pony Catering recently spent eleven days catering at the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration in Shelbyville TN. We packed up our gear and headed an hour south to Shelbyville for the event with our new catering truck. There are many food vendors at the Celebration but Red Pony had the honor of catering in the Blue Ribbon Circle Club, where guests purchased tickets to enjoy a/c, cocktails, and delicious food.

Nightly deli tray, fruit & cheese, and dessert table.

The menu changed daily with themed nights — Asian, Prime Rib, Red Pony, Southern, Seafood, Etc. These themes would also be great as stations for a wedding or holiday party.

Chef Carl’s Strawberry Trifle Dessert

Toppings from the mashed potato bar…YUM!

Caesar Salad

Asian Slaw from Asian night….we even had fortune cookies.

Fruit Kabobs

Serving 4,700 people over the eleven days was a blast and we look forward to the opportunity again next year.
