New outdoor catering menus that are sure to have guests talking

We're loving this new "pig roast party" idea for your engagement celebration, rehearsal dinner or reception. Now offered by Herban Feast Catering, the updated take on a backyard barbeque makes for the perfect guest conversation starter with its festive, one-of-a-kind theme.

The pig's roasted onsite at any outdoor venue in a la caja China (traditional Chinese box) and served buffet style. "Barbeques are big," says Herban Feast owner BJ Duft. "Our latest innovation puts the Herban spin on this popular pastime and creates a lively and unique way to celebrate at some of the areas best outdoor venues such as Fall City Farms, The Fields at Willie Green's, Golden Gardens Park Bathhouse, and even company courtyards or our own courtyard at Sodo Park."

 With a price tag of $18 per person with a 50 person minimum, Herban Feast pairs the special dish with your choice of one of the following four menus:

Classic Luau: Enjoy smoked pig served with macaroni salad, Spam® musubi, braised cabbage and a tropical fruit salad.

Southern Swine: For those looking for a Texas inspired taste, this pig is dry-rubbed and glazed with barbeque and hot sauce. Accompaniments include hush puppies, baked beans, collard greens, grilled corn, sweet pepper coleslaw and the not-to-be-forgotten Texas Toast.

Oaxacan: Here, swine's served south-of-the-border style with an Ancho-rubbed pig served alongside a selection of salsas, refried beans, Mexican rice, tortillas and sopes.
