Our 2020 Holiday Menu

November 6, 2020

‘Tis the season for heartwarming and comforting foods like sweet, sliced ham, buttery mashed potatoes, rich pumpkin pie cake, warm green beans and so much more! This year we are celebrating our family legacy by sharing Our 2020 Holiday Menu fully loaded with signature dishes from Jay, Eleanor, and the whole Mastroianni family. Since 1967, and even before then, Jay and Eleanor loved hosting friends and family for large events like elegant dinner parties, intimate backyard picnics, holiday gatherings, and more which kick-started their Jay’s Catering and Ellie’s Table journey. Over many years, the husband and wife duo shared a passion for people and were blessed with impeccable culinary talents that they shared over 50 years ago, and we still share today.

Inspired by the Czar of Catering, Jay, and the Matriarch of Ellie’s Table, Eleanor, Our 2020 Holiday Menu allows you to eat, drink and be merry while we take on the responsibility of cooking up irresistible entrees, soulful sides, full of flavor hors d’oeuvres, decadent desserts and more. From our family to yours, let’s enjoy the holiday season together with festive fare that’s made to gather everyone around the table.
