This was a company dinner for a group of ten whose district includes the states of Iowa, South Dakota, Missouri, and Arkansas. We decided to theme our dinner on the spirit of food in each of those states:
Chicken stock and brick roux in progress:
Catfish fillets sprinkled with blackening spice:
Roasting carrots for a sauce:
Hors d'Œuvres (Missouri): St. Paul Sandwich and Kansas City BBQ Sandwich Sliders

- The St. Paul on low-carb peanut butter bread for a diabetic attendee:
- White oak-smoked pork tenderloins in Jeremy's KC-style sauce

Fish Course (Arkansas): Blackened catfish with collard slaw and creole remoulade
