BAYOU CATERING is the perfect choice for your next party, holiday meal or even take-out!
On any given day, David Bilyeu and crew at Bayou Catering are cooking up Cajun, Caribbean and Coastal creations or preparing a taco bar for 60, a burger and hot dog tailgate for 100, or an omelet party for 125!
Bayou Catering is West Central Florida’s in-demand, full-service catering company for your next party or holiday family dinner. Owner David Bilyeu launched Bayou Catering October 2009, with the idea of bringing Louisiana food from his childhood home to Florida based on his experiences with Baton Rouge’s best seafood restaurants. “We sought to make our food fun, good looking, and very tasty,” he says. “Fourteen years later, we have succeeded. We have produced many thousands of catered meals from our catering kitchen, boiled thousands of pounds of crawfish & seafood in our Cajun Hot Tub and cooked thousands of sliders on our Cajun Bullet and Bayou Beast mobile grills.”
Bayou Catering have become known for their Thanksgiving Fried Turkey and family dinner offerings, as well as traditional Louisiana Christmas favorites. The catering was so popular, Bilyeu opened the Bayou Market & Café three years ago so that customers could enjoy their dishes any time.
The Bayou Market & Cafe serves hot lunches and dinners Tues.-Sat. (menus change daily and weekly) and purveys cold dishes to take home and freeze. “We feature Cajun and Caribbean dishes plus traditional fare.
The market and café give potential catering customers a taste of our fabulous dishes. Once a customer gets to know our staff, they turn to them to cater and plan an event big or small. We even provide sample tastings that match the party theme in advance,” says Bilyeu.
Bayou Catering is a full-service caterer (breakfast, lunch, dinner) that can cater/deliver food to an event or cook your catered menu onsite. If the event is an early one, The Bayou can provide onsite breakfast delights such as made-to-order omelettes, eggs Benedict, pancakes, French toast, bacon, sausage, and the best biscuits and gravy this side of the bayou.
The Bayou’s seasoned staff helps plan your event, coordinates vendors and event rentals. Bayou Catering’s professional kitchen can handle any size party, but the secret sauce is the caliber and breadth of their culinary skills and ability to serve authentic Cajun fare, like Louisiana crawfish or seafood boils. Says Bilyeu: “We fly live crawfish in during season late February-June from New Orleans, then prepare the corn, potatoes, sausage and whatever else someone wants to throw in the pot. Add the right spices, cook it just the right amount of time, and there it is, the perfect Louisiana Crawfish Boil. Other times of the year, we stay busy with Seafood Boils that include shrimp, blue crabs, snow crabs, lobsters, clams, mussels, along with the standard boil items of corn, potatoes, and sausage.”
But that’s not all! Spring and fall are the perfect time for a BBQ party. The Bayou has two trailer-mounted grills that they fire up to grill the best Beef Sliders, Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Shrimp Kabobs, BBQ Chicken, Pulled Pork, Brisket, & Ribs. They also supply the classic sides (salads, cole slaw, potato salad, corn-on-the-cob, baked beans, pasta).
HOLIDAY CATERING
Bayou Catering’s seasonal elves goes into overdrive. “Last Thanksgiving, we fried 175+ turkeys, over 100 on Thanksgiving Day, and provided 2,000-plus Thanksgiving meals on and around Thanksgiving Day for events and for pick-up,” says Bilyeu. The meals include Cajun Fried Turkey, traditional Green Beans Casserole, Cornbread Dressing, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, Rolls as well as Pecan & Pumpkin pies.
At Christmas, Bayou Catering is in demand for catered Christmas parties as well as catering orders for December pick-up. The Bayou Market & Café also serves their delectable Thanksgiving and Christmas dishes, providing customers quick service and home-cooked fare.
