Get Your Taste Buds All Excited

🎄🔥 PAPA NOEL PARTY: A THIRD COAST CHRISTMAS 🔥🎄  

Light the Way.

What happens when Christmas takes a little trip down the river, stops somewhere between Mississippi and Louisiana, and decides it wants a French accent?

Well… Papa Noel shows up. 🎅🏽

This is the kind of Christmas menu I love creating — a little French, a little Southern, a little Delta, and a whole lot of Will Good.

🔥 Le Bon Feu — fireside bites  

🌊 Le Fleuve — flavors of the Delta  

🎁 Papa Noel’s Shoe Stuffers — sweet surprises  

🍊 The Christmas Table — Le Boucherie — fruit, cheese, cured meats & all the good things meant for lingering

Think tamales, catfish pâté, Cajun bites, pulled pork sliders, tea scones, little cakes, cheese, fruit and enough Christmas spirit to make the neighbors wonder what’s happening.

This is a menu example of a party I am planning, but it’s also a little glimpse into how I approach catering:  

Tell me the story. Give me the occasion. Let me imagine the table.

Then let’s make it Will Good.

🎄✨ Holiday dates are already beginning to fill. If you’re planning a gathering, let’s talk.

Oh Baby! 🍼✨

I put together a new set of Baby Shower Menu Options for those who want something a little more interesting than the usual tacos and BBQ.

Three directions, all fresh, festive, and very much Will Good:

🌿 Mediterranean — bright, sunny and elegant, with Zucchini Carpaccio, Tarragon-Yogurt Chicken Salad with cornmeal scones, and fresh berry citrus parfaits.

🌸 Southern — a gracious garden-party menu with Strawberry & Black Pepper Biscuits, Cornbread Salad, Beau Monde Crudités, house buttermints and Lemonade Cake Pops.

🦐 Third Coast — Gulf Coast flavor with Mr. Bailey’s West Indies Salad, mini Crawfish Hand Pies, Blackened Shrimp Pops with Lemon Remoulade, beignets and house ambrosia.

And because baby showers should be about celebrating—not worrying about the details—I can handle the food, setup and service, too.

Planning a baby shower, bridal shower, luncheon or celebration? Let’s make it delicious.

Hill Country Retreat Dining

There’s something wonderful about cooking for a small gathering.

Ten people around a table. Good food coming out of the kitchen. Time to linger. A breakfast that doesn’t feel rushed. A supper that feels like an occasion without ever becoming formal.

That’s the idea behind **Hill Country Retreat Dining** from Will Good Catering.

I’ve put together a collection of menus specifically for intimate retreats in the Hill Country—food that is fresh, thoughtful and a little unexpected, with plenty of Southern hospitality woven through it.

Think **warm French bread and whipped butter, lemon cod and turmeric rice, blueberry-almond scones, tarragon chicken salad and buttermilk biscuits, cornbread with bacon jam, pistachio-crusted chicken, miniature baklava bites, cereal milk punch and maple chocolate-chip cookies.**

And because retreat meals have their own rhythm, there’s even a **Traveler’s Breakfast** for departure morning: a steak and egg breakfast taco, hot honey cornmeal scone and fresh fruit skewer, all packed and ready for the road.

Menus can be delivered and beautifully set up, or I can stay on-site to finish, serve and manage the meal.

**House-made. Thoughtful. A little unexpected.**

If you’re planning a retreat, gathering, workshop or weekend in the Hill Country, I’d love to help make the table part of the experience.

🎄 HOLIDAYS ARE HERE — AND WILL GOOD IS COOKING.

This year, alongside our traditional holiday menu, we’re offering Christmas Takeout: Asian-inspired comfort food, fried rice, noodles, soups, pot stickers, egg rolls, fortune cookies, and a whole lot of fun.

And y’all, a little heads-up:

This food takes handwork. A LOT of it.

Every order gets the same care and attention I’d give if I were cooking for my own table. Because of that, daily holiday orders will be limited.

So please plan ahead and order early. Once a day is full, it’s full.

And one more piece of practical holiday advice:

If you’re pretty sure you’re going to be hungover the morning after the Christmas party, order your food ahead of time and tell me what time you think you’ll be awake. 😂

I’ll take care of the cooking. You just have to manage your choices from the night before.

🎅 Delivery only — no pickup.

📅 24-hour notice required.

💳 Payment is due at the time of order.

📲 Venmo: @willis-mckee-2

💳 Credit cards accepted by phone or in person.

💵 Cash accepted.

I love when a job request comes in with a description like “baby shower” when, in fact, what we’re really talking about is an elegant, upscale throw down. 😂

(And yes, "throw down” is absolutely my wordage.)

This one has been seriously fun to plan. We’re talking Gulf Coast flavors, beautiful presentation, lots of little details, and a menu that feels celebratory without falling into the usual baby-shower fare.

I’ve had entirely too much fun putting this one together, and I cannot wait to bring it to life.

This is why I love what I do. Give me an occasion and a little room to play, and let’s make it delicious.

Good food. Happy people. Bright beginnings.

🥟 HAND PIES ARE HERE.

Not fast food. Good food.

I’m introducing a new Will Good Catering offering: handmade, made-to-order Southern hand pies — available as flaky puff pastry or hearty empanada-style pies.

Four flavors to start:

🍗 Rotisserie Chicken + Mardi Gras Mustard — savory chicken, Holy Trinity, herbs and cheese with a tangy house mustard sauce.

🐖 Pulled Pork + Pentecost BBQ Sauce — slow-cooked pork shoulder, smoky-sweet seasoning and our signature BBQ sauce.

🥩 Shredded Beef Rib + Chimichurri — tender beef rib, caramelized onions and herbs with bright, fresh chimichurri.

🦞 Crawfish + Lemon Remoulade — tender crawfish in a rich Creole filling with just enough cream, spice and our house lemon remoulade.

6 pies | serves 2–3

Chicken $45 • Pork $50 • Beef Rib $60 • Crawfish $60

12 pies | Family Pack  

Chicken $80 • Pork $90 • Beef Rib $115 • Crawfish $115

Every order includes your choice of pastry, signature sauce, packaging and local delivery.

These are made to order, with at least 24 hours' advance notice. Because there is a lot of handwork involved — and an unreasonable amount of love — daily quantities are limited.

Please plan ahead.

Orders $200 and under are paid in advance. Orders over $200 require 50% at ordering and the balance upon delivery.

Cash • Venmo • Credit Card  

Pickup is not available. Delivery is included.

If you want a few for supper, a dozen for the family, or a pile for your next gathering, send me a message and let's get your order on the books.

Good food. Good people. Always.

A celebration dinner should feel like a celebration—not like you picked something off a catering spreadsheet.

For this sample menu, I pulled together three very different directions: Mardi Gras / Third Coast, Southern Supper, and Mediterranean Table. Each has its own personality, from Gulf Coast-inspired étouffée and crab hushpuppies to garlic-stuffed pork roast and gumbo z’herbes, or a generous Mediterranean table with pastitsio, horta and baklava bites.

These are starting points, not set menus. I can modify, expand, combine, or build something entirely different around your event, your guests, and your budget.

Whether you’re celebrating a retirement, anniversary, milestone, family gathering, or simply an excuse to get everybody around one good table, that’s the kind of catering I love to do.

Good food brings people together.

A Little Bit of Texas, A Little Bit of Brunch

Some events call for a full meal. Others call for good food you can pick up with one hand while the other is shaking hands, taking pictures, or listening to the announcement.

That’s where this menu comes in.

For a recent commemorative ceremony, I put together a Texas-inspired collection of brunch bites that felt festive without stealing the spotlight. A little Southern, a little Gulf Coast, a little Hill Country—and, as always, a little lagniappe tucked in along the way.

On the menu:

- Shrimp Hushpuppy Bites with Creole remoulade

- Gruyère & Country Ham Scones

- Deviled Egg Dip with Saltines

- Mini Migas Cups

- Pimento Cheese Tea Sandwiches

- Texas Fruit Skewers

- Mini Phyllo Baklava Bites

The goal was simple: flavorful, beautiful, easy to eat, and just a little unexpected.

This is the kind of menu I love creating for receptions, ceremonies, announcements, open houses, media events and other gatherings where the food should make people happy—but never become the main event.

Good food brings people together.

Tejas Sunday Brunch.🌵

A little Texas, a little fiesta, and a whole lot of good food.

Grilled chicken fajitas, warm flour tortillas, Mexican rice, refried beans, skillet elote, molcajete salsa, guacamole, queso, Mexican crema, chips, and a good old-fashioned Texas Sheet Cake—made nut-free, just the way the client likes it.

Perfect for a relaxed Sunday gathering where folks can eat, visit, graze, and enjoy the company.

Good food. Good company. A more gracious table.

Taste of the Third Coast

The food, the flavors, the whole feeling of it—Louisiana, Mississippi, the Gulf, Southern tables where people linger a little longer and nobody leaves hungry. And a recent trip to Rockport only pushed me further in that direction. Sitting there with a view of the bay, watching the boats and fishing, reminded me how much the Third Coast has shaped the way I think about food.

So this menu became a little love letter to all of it: dark roux, sweet corn, Gulf shrimp, snapper, lump crab, fresh watermelon, pecans, rosemary, lemon, good bread, good cheese—and a whole lot of Southern soul.

This is the kind of cooking that feels like coming home. And honestly, I think that's where Will Good Catering is at its best.

✨ Elevated Tea Table ✨

Sometimes a menu just needs to be a little extra.

Our Elevated Tea Table brings together delicate smoked salmon and pineapple tea sandwiches, tender buttermilk cornmeal scones with strawberry-jalapeño preserve, Parmesan & Gruyère gougères, Greek-style crudités with whipped feta, a beautiful seasonal fruit & cheese board, pepperoncini dip, espresso & walnut cookies, and refreshing beverages.

It’s elegant enough for a proper tea table, relaxed enough for mingling, and entirely designed to be enjoyed without needing a fork and knife.

And yes, I said Gruyère gougères.

Try saying Gruyère gougères three times fast.

I’ll wait. 😂

Another great personal-chef menu coming out of the Will Good kitchen. 🍽️

Hungry yet?

From watermelon, feta & mint skewers to garlic-stuffed New York strip, flourless cornbread with whipped hot honey butter, Maque Choux, turmeric rice and a silky buttermilk panna cotta with macerated berries — this one is all about good food, good company and a table worth gathering around.

And remember: this is just one menu. I love creating bespoke menus around your event, your guests, your setting and what you’re hungry for.

Planning a dinner, retreat, celebration or just want to make an evening of it?

Call me. Let’s cook something good.

Make the Party About the Party

Here are a few menu ideas I’ve been working on with a client for a January bachelorette dinner — three very different directions, from a Third-Coast blowout to Texas comfort food to a Mediterranean supper.

But here’s the thing: the menu is only part of the experience.

For a bachelorette party, birthday, anniversary, girls’ weekend, or just because you have a house full of your favorite people, a personal chef experience means you get to stay at the table instead of worrying about what’s happening in the kitchen.

I come to you, cook, plate and serve dinner, and let you enjoy your evening.

You bring the people. I’ll bring dinner.

And yes — the menu can be tailored to your party.

Hey Baby

There’s something especially lovely about a baby shower tea — little sandwiches, pretty bites, something sweet, and plenty of time to visit and celebrate.

I created this Baby Shower Tea menu as a sample of the kind of gathering I love to cater: thoughtful food, classic flavors, and a few unexpected touches.

Think chicken salad tea sandwiches on wheat, ham & Swiss on white, mini artichoke crustless quiches, Greek-inspired crudités with feta dip, fresh fruit with honey-citrus poppy seed dressing, and a sweet table of strawberry lemonade cake pops, apple pie tartlets, and brownie bites.

Add lemonade, unsweet tea, Arnold Palmers, and plenty of ice-cold water — and you have a celebration that feels special without feeling fussy.

Good food for bright beginnings.

If you’re planning a baby shower, bridal shower, luncheon, birthday, or just a beautiful afternoon with friends, I’d love to help you put together the menu.

Howdy Texas

There’s something special about cooking for people who are coming home to Texas.

For this family, I put together a Hill Country barbecue supper built around the things that just feel like Texas: smoked Dino beef ribs, jalapeño-cheddar sausage, pinto beans, creamy potato salad, tangy slaw, pickles, onions, jalapeños, white bread—and, of course, Texas sheet cake.

No brisket this time. Just big smoke, good sides, and a table waiting when you get home.

Welcome home, Texas.

If you’re planning a gathering, a family reunion, a homecoming, or just want to put something special on the table, I’d love to cook for you.
