Experience. Creativity. Innovation. Passion. Rooted in a foundation of traditional culinary arts and hospitality while constantly exploring the cutting edge of new trends. Joel Catering finds inspiration in the thriving local food industry of Southern Louisiana and the influx of artists, designers and entertainers, continually infusing new energy and flavor into every event. The celebration of 25 ... years serving New Orleans brought the opportunity to reimagine Joel Catering: a fresh look and a recommitment to constantly raising the bar for catering and special events.
