Gown Crazy Party






Here's the story of us.










I met Johnathan Kayne (Kayne as he goes by) and his publicist/friend, Teresa at a Austin Fashion Awards party. He was a finalist on Project Runway (and was robbed if you ask me!) and now has his own line of pageant dresses, shoes, handbags and k-9 couture gear. He had a fashion show and I was just there in time for the fabulous after party! Right from when we met, we just hit it off. Life is funny that way sometimes. Teresa mentioned a watch party for his show premiering on TLC, Gown Crazy and thought they would need a caterer. I thought it sounded fabulous, but really was enjoying just hanging out with them because they were such good company. Kayne's life story especially touching. I have such respect for him being such a driven , positive and upbeat person. He's such a joy just to be around. He deserves every bit of success he's had and more!



Fast forward to this past weekend. I catered the premier! The food was fabulous and had to be to hold a candle to his show. It's hilarious and so authentically him! I met his whole team of staff, interns and best of all, family. They are all such great people. I was honored to be able to share in his success and know there's so much more from him to come. Besides being a fashion genius, he really is one of the top 3 sweetest people I've ever met in my entire life!!!



p.s. One of his favorite foods in corn! It cracks me up to think of it every time. But, I created a special corn and coconut pudding for him in his honor. It will forever will be the Corny Kayne Pudding to commemorate his special evening!

p.p.s. he's making me a custom chef coat too and I'm beyond over the moon...keep your eye out for my chef couture line with Kayne! Ha. YOU NEVER KNOW what will happen when fashion meets food ;)
